Your Source for SmartSide ExpertFinish in the Midwest

Amerhart customers know that for a durable yet lightweight siding option that complements many building styles, it’s tough to beat LP^® SmartSide^® engineered wood siding. So when LP introduced the ExpertFinish^® product line of 16 versatile prefinished colors into the portfolio, Amerhart set a plan into motion to ensure that all the lap and vertical siding, trim, soffit, and shakes that customers would be looking for would be stocked and ready to ship throughout the Midwest.

The overall vision meant building new warehouses, transforming existing spaces and installing pristine new racking designed specifically for the complete range of SmartSide siding and trim. With locations across 6 states unified around a central purpose, Amerhart turned to its 13-acre campus in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, to kick off the effort.

A Valued Team Effort

With more than 75,000 square feet of indoor storage, the Sun Prairie facility was the ideal location to debut a new distribution center designed with the complete range of SmartSide ExpertFinish products in mind, and the team embraced the challenge. After mapping out the floor space, they set to work removing old shelving to make way for racking designed for the SmartSide ExpertFinish product line.

Branch Manager Ryan Chandler notes that over 112 hours, eight core team members transformed the space and filled it with SmartSide lap and vertical siding, soffit, shakes and trim in all 16 ExpertFinish colors.
