Brand-specific planning tool
Start with the published LP SmartSide planning range, then adjust the property inputs that affect labor and scope.
Your planning range
Expected project range for lp smartside on a 1500 sq ft home. The labor calculation uses the selected story and complexity adjustment and the national state baseline until a ZIP is entered.
This is a planning estimate, not a quote. Wall area, trim, repairs, permits, and local scope can change a final price.
Want exact pricing? Get 3 free quotesThe approved lp smartside baseline is $5–$11 per square foot installed before the separately selected removal adjustment. The calculator does not turn that planning baseline into a contractor quote.
SidingPricing is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by the named manufacturer. Brand names are used only to identify the approved rate-card material category.
The calculator multiplies the selected home size by the approved material baseline, then applies the rate card’s labor-only adjustment for story height, project complexity, and an approved state multiplier when the ZIP maps to one. Materials remain on the national baseline; the location adjustment is not applied to them.
Removal is kept separate. When selected, the calculator adds the approved non-hazardous old-siding removal-and-disposal range of $1–$3 per square foot once. That prevents the common mistake of charging removal inside the installed baseline and then adding it again.
Use the result to start a contractor conversation, not to skip one. Ask each installer to specify the siding product and finish, removal and disposal, wall preparation, wrap and flashing, trim, repairs, permits, change-order process, cleanup, and workmanship or manufacturer warranty terms. Compare the scope as carefully as the total price.
LP SmartSide is modeled separately from the generic engineered-wood category. The result is planning information, not a brand or contractor quote.
It applies the approved low, expected, and high material baseline to the entered home size. The labor component then uses the selected story and complexity adjustment plus the approved state labor multiplier when a covered ZIP is entered.
No. It is a planning estimate. A written contractor quote should confirm exterior wall area, product selection, removal, wall preparation, flashing, trim, repairs, permits, access, cleanup, and warranty terms.
Removal is a separate toggle. The approved installation baseline is removal-exclusive, so selecting removal adds the non-hazardous removal-and-disposal adjustment once rather than hiding it in every estimate.
