Thorough LP Siding Replacement in Burnsville, MN
Late March on a Crystal Lake cul de sac, the snowbank pulls back from the foundation and the bottom course tells on itself: swollen butt ends, a chalked lap, a seam opened by winter wind. LP SmartSide replacement in Burnsville starts at that lowest board and works up, because how the wall is detailed at grade decides whether the next siding lasts. We rebuild the water table, set the clearance, and hang engineered wood that keeps the grain and shadow line these 1970s and 1980s ramblers were drawn for.

Engineered Wood on a 1982 Split Entry
Most Burnsville houses were framed between 1972 and 1988, and the siding coming off them is usually one of three things: original cedar lap gone soft at the butt ends, hardboard that has swelled and delaminated along the bottom two courses, or early vinyl hung over the top of either. LP SmartSide replaces all three without changing the character of a low pitched gable house, because the board still carries grain and still throws a real shadow line at each lap. The engineered wood substrate holds a nail closer to the edge than fiber cement does, which matters on split entries where the field is short and the courses stack tight between a band board and a soffit. Owners who want a heavier, more mineral looking wall sometimes land on James Hardie siding replacement instead, and we walk both options on the same elevation, with the same trim details drawn, before anyone signs anything.
LP Siding Replacement in Burnsville
What New LP SmartSide Does for Your Burnsville Home
Bottom Course That Stops Rotting
We set the first board with real ground clearance above grade and flash the water table, so the course that failed on your hardboard is no longer the one soaking up snowmelt every spring.
Grain and Shadow Line Kept
A rambler drawn in 1979 reads wrong under a flat plank. LP SmartSide holds a cedar grain face and a deep lap shadow, so the elevation still looks like the house it was designed to be.
Wind Held at the Eaves
Long low pitched roofs above the river valley take lift where the wall meets the soffit. Fastening on layout and tight frieze detailing keeps the top courses from working loose in a February gust.
Sixteen Foot Runs Down the Long Side
Sixteen foot lengths let us run the long side of a split level with far fewer butt joints than the old hardboard had, which means fewer places for water to find its way behind the wall.
Trim, Corners and Band Board Rebuilt
The band board between levels on a split entry is where most rot hides. We open it, replace what has gone soft, and rebuild corners and window trim in matching engineered wood.
Touch Ups That Blend Instead of Show
Prefinished and factory coated boards keep their color through Minnesota sun and freeze thaw cycles far longer than a repaint over chalked hardboard, and touch ups blend instead of standing out.
How We Handle Siding Work in Burnsville
Two Boards Off Before Any Number
Nobody can price a 1980s split entry from the curb. We pull a board low on the wall and one at the band, look at the sheathing and at what the old flashing was doing, then quote what is actually there.
Redevelopment Work, Not New Construction
Since Burnsville ran out of open land, siding here is replacement on lived in homes. We plan around your driveway, your landscaping and your daily schedule, not around an empty lot with room to stage.
The Water Table Settled Before Course One
We settle clearance at grade, kickout flashing where roof meets wall, and the water table before a single course goes up, because that sequence is what decides how the wall ages out here.
Wind Off the River Keeps Odd Hours
Wind off the river corridor does not keep business hours. Our phones are staffed around the clock, so a board torn loose overnight gets covered and looked at before the next front comes through.
Storm and Insurance Claims Walked Through
When wind damage on a west elevation is what started this, we document the affected courses, meet your adjuster on site, and keep the scope and the siding profile straight through the claim.

LP SmartSide Questions from Burnsville Owners
What people in Burnsville ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Does an older rambler or split level actually look right in LP SmartSide?
The 1970s and 1980s ramblers, split levels and split entries that make up most of the city. Those houses have simple gable roofs, long uninterrupted walls and few cross gables, so a board with real grain and a deep lap shadow gives the elevation the texture it was originally drawn with. It also works well on a redeveloped infill house meant to match its neighbors.
Why does grade matter so much on a Burnsville lot?
Manufacturer guidance is six inches above finished grade and one to two inches above hard surfaces like a driveway or patio slab. That matters more in Burnsville than the number suggests, because many yards on the bluff were regraded toward the house over forty years of landscaping, and the old hardboard was often set too low to begin with. We correct that before siding goes up.
What comes off a Burnsville wall before the new board goes on?
Most often it is 1980s hardboard lap that has swelled and split along the bottom courses, or original cedar that has gone soft at the butt ends and under the band board. Sometimes it is vinyl hung over one of those in the 1990s, which hid the damage rather than fixing it. We find out which by opening the wall, not by guessing.
