LP SmartSide VS. James Hardie Siding

What Happens When Your House Gets Hit by Baseballs

This home sits right next to a baseball field.

That means one thing.

It gets hit. A lot.

Foul balls, line drives, anything that clears the fence ends up hitting this side of the house.

If your home is in a situation like this, your siding is not just about looks. It needs to hold up.

The Problem Most People Don’t Think About

Most siding materials are not designed for repeated impact.

Over time, you start to see:

• cracks

• chips

• broken panels

• areas that need constant repair

And the worst part is matching it later.

Once it starts getting damaged, it usually does not stop.

What We Did On This Home

We replaced the siding on the impacted side of the house and upgraded it to LP SmartSide.

The goal was simple.

Make it stronger. Make it cleaner. Make it last.

This is not just about appearance. It is about durability in a real environment.

Why Material Choice Matters

When your home is exposed to impact, not all siding performs the same.

Some materials are more brittle.

Some hold up better over time.

What matters is how it responds when something actually hits it.

That is where you see the difference.

What It Looks Like Now

After replacing the siding, the entire side of the home looks clean again.

No damage. No patchwork. No mismatched sections.

Just a consistent finish that is built to handle what this house deals with.

If Your Home Is Exposed to More Than Normal

If your home deals with heavy weather, impact, or anything out of the ordinary, the materials you choose matter more than most people realize.
