LP® SmartSide® Siding in Garden City, ID
Garden City, riverfront redevelopment along the Greenbelt
Garden City is a compact riverfront enclave wrapped by Boise, where a wave of redevelopment along the Chinden corridor and Plantation is reshaping older residential and light-industrial lots — and owners modernizing those homes often want warm, current woodgrain rather than flat dated siding. LP® SmartSide® supplies that engineered-wood look, and because the Boise River keeps ambient moisture higher here than in drier parts of the valley, its treated, moisture-resistant substrate is a sensible match. Iron Crest Exteriors installs SmartSide® lap, panel, batten, and shake profiles with ExpertFinish® color, detailed cleanly for Garden City's tight, mixed-use lots with sealed cut edges and a fresh weather barrier. A redevelopment-era facade gets texture that fits the riverfront's new look.

Our process
How lp® smartside® siding works in Garden City
- 01
Profile & finish selection
We help you choose between LP® SmartSide® lap, panel, batten, and shake profiles and ExpertFinish® pre-finished colors versus primed-for-paint, then measure for an accurate quote.
- 02
Tear-off & substrate check
Old siding comes off and we inspect and repair the wall behind it — sheathing, framing, and trim — before any new material goes up.
- 03
Barrier & flashing
A weather-resistive barrier is installed and lapped, with flashing integrated at windows, doors, and penetrations so the wall drains and dries.
- 04
SmartSide® install to spec
SmartSide® is fastened per LP's published installation instructions, with the correct clearances, gaps, and cut-edge treatment that keep the substrate protected and the warranty intact.
- 05
Trim, seal & finish
We integrate trim, seal joints and cut edges, finish the details, and on field-painted jobs coordinate the topcoat — then clean the site.
- 06
Final walkthrough
We do a magnetic nail sweep and walk the finished elevation with you, confirming the details before we close out the job.
Every Garden City job includes pulling any permit Ada County requires and a full clean-up — we leave your home tight, weather-sealed, and looking sharp.
Working in Garden City
Garden City, riverfront redevelopment along the Greenbelt
Garden City is a compact, independent enclave wrapped by Boise, running along the Boise River and Greenbelt. It blends older residential and light-industrial lots with a wave of riverfront redevelopment, and many original homes here have dated aluminum windows and original or early-replacement siding overdue for an update.
Garden City's proximity to the Boise River means homes near the corridor see more ambient moisture, and the older housing stock around Chinden and Plantation has siding and windows that predate modern energy codes. Tight lots and a mix of residential and light-industrial neighbors make a clean, well-detailed re-side as much about curb appeal as weatherproofing.

LP® SmartSide® Siding in Garden City — FAQs
Can LP® SmartSide® give an older Garden City home along Chinden a modern look that suits the riverfront redevelopment?
Yes, and it's well matched to that wave of updates. Many homes around Chinden and Plantation wear tired original siding, and a SmartSide® re-side is a chance to set a clean, current woodgrain facade that reads with the redevelopment happening nearby. Its batten and shake profiles support a contemporary mixed-material look, and the treated substrate suits the added moisture near the Boise River. We tear off to the sheathing, lap a fresh weather barrier, seal the cut edges, and integrate trim so the result reads as one intentional update.

Is Garden City the only area you cover?
No — Garden City is one of many. We also serve Boise, Eagle, Meridian and the broader Treasure Valley, including homes around the Boise River.
Do I have to handle the cleanup myself in Garden City?
Never — that's on us. We haul away the old materials and packaging from your Garden City home and leave the site tidy across Ada County.
Is LP® SmartSide® real wood?
It's engineered wood — wood strands bound with resins and treated through the board for moisture and termite resistance, then milled with real wood-grain texture. It delivers the wood look with far better durability and dimensional stability than solid boards.
How does SmartSide® compare to fiber cement?
SmartSide® is lighter, easier to work, and has a warmer, deeper wood grain; fiber cement is denser, non-combustible, and lower-maintenance over the long haul. Both perform well in our climate. The honest split is grain-and-workability versus mineral durability and fire resistance — we'll lay out the trade-offs for your home.
