For the ultimate peace of mind, the LP SmartSide 7/30 Year Limited Warranty covers rot, buckling, termite damage and surface overlay defects.
LP SmartSide Maintenance And Warranty PDF The LP SmartSide 7/30 Year Limited Warranty covers labor and material costs for the first 7 years. Typical fiber cement siding warranties run for 50-years, but they don't cover labor costs for warranty repairs at all. Labor coverage is critical because those costs are generally higher than the replacement material cost. Fiber cement warranties typically begin reducing or "prorating" their coverage after the first year. The LP SmartSide Warranty doesn't start to prorate until after its 7th year.
In addition, the LP SmartSide 7/30 Year Limited Warranty is fully transferable to new homeowners for the remaining warranty term. Most fiber cement 50-year warranties are only transferable once.
