Moisture from the nearby water pushes behind the paint, causing it to bubble and flake off season after season. You repaint far more often than necessary to keep the exterior presentable. It feels like a losing battle.
LP SmartSide siding withstands strong sun and coastal gusts that can crack and fade other cladding. The factory finish retains its rich color for years, allowing you to enjoy great curb appeal with minimal upkeep.

Durable siding that resists moisture
Warped, swollen siding looks bad and allows moisture behind your home’s exterior. LP SmartSide siding is made with a wax-coated, resin-saturated treatment that keeps damp air out at the strand level. This means your siding stays straight and tight, even in months of coastal humidity.
The fix isn’t just a coating added later. The strands themselves resist moisture from the inside, so seasonal swelling and shrinking don’t happen like they do with traditional wood. That durability is why we install LP SmartSide siding in Vancouver for homeowners who want the look of wood without the problems of wood.
Steveston is right by the Fraser River delta, where salt-laced fog and wet winters are part of daily life. Standard siding can soak up that moisture year after year, causing edges to curl and paint to fail. An exterior that can resist damp air is essential for a house that keeps its curb appeal.
Many homes in Steveston mix heritage character with modern updates. LP SmartSide’s profiles fit both styles. Its engineered core handles the humidity from the water, while the prefinished colors resist fading under the sun that hits a south-facing riverfront wall.
Installation techniques
In Steveston, we use a blind-nailing method with hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank nails. These nails go into the studs, not just the sheathing. This helps prevent the nails from pulling out during winter storms that push rain against your walls. We also back-cut butt joints at a slight angle instead of leaving them square. This stops water from wicking into the seam.
For homes near the dyke, we often use 4×8-foot panels for larger gable ends. This reduces horizontal seams where wind-driven mist can gather. The pre-primed lap siding comes in smooth or cedar-grain textures, which work well for heritage-style houses. Board-and-batten profiles are good for newer homes. Every cut edge gets a touch-up coat to seal the engineered core before installation.
Keeping clearance from the ground is important. We hold the bottom course at least eight inches above finished ground level, using a fiber-cement starter strip to create a capillary break. This keeps the bottom edge of the LP siding out of the splash zone from Steveston’s damp ground, preventing wicking that can cause paint blistering near the foundation.
The building envelope in Steveston must handle high moisture from the river and ocean while letting interior moisture escape. We install LP SmartSide over a ventilated rainscreen, usually with 10-millimeter strapping to create a continuous air gap behind the siding. This gap allows the back of the siding to dry quickly after foggy mornings, balancing pressure and stopping moisture from being pushed inward.
At window heads and horizontal trim transitions, we use custom-bent aluminum flashing with a drip edge that directs water past the siding face. The housewrap is layered shingle-style under this flashing, so any water that gets behind the siding is directed outward onto the lower course. This two-stage drainage system is crucial for Steveston’s wind-driven rain, where water can travel sideways across a wall.
The fastening pattern is also important for thermal movement. LP SmartSide expands and contracts as a full sheet, so we follow a stud-aligned fastening schedule with slightly more nails per panel than needed in drier climates. This keeps the panel flat against the furring strips during Steveston’s damp winters, preventing gaps that allow water entry.
