Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports of premature failure in LP SmartSide engineered wood siding, a product marketed as durable, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance. Despite these claims, many homeowners report swelling, warping, and delamination of the siding, particularly in areas with heavy rainfall or poor ventilation.
Allegedly Misleading Marketing and Durability Claims
LP Building Solutions promotes SmartSide as a moisture-resistant, long-lasting alternative to traditional wood siding. However, consumers have documented issues appearing in as little as a few years after installation, including:
-
Paint bubbling or peeling
-
Structural weakening of siding panels
-
Moisture infiltration behind siding
-
Premature panel rot or decay
Despite prior lawsuits concerning SmartSide’s performance, LP has continued to advertise the product as reliable and weather-resistant, while allegedly providing inadequate warranty support for affected homeowners.
Consumer Complaints and Costly Repairs
Homeowners across the U.S. have reported:
-
Siding panels requiring full replacement in under 10 years
-
Frequent repainting or refinishing due to product failure
-
Repair and replacement costs reaching tens of thousands of dollars
-
Decreased home value and aesthetic damage
