Siding replacement can increase your home’s curb appeal, energy efficiency, and value. It isn’t uncommon for homeowners to ask how much this project will cost. This question doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all answer. The cost of new siding varies widely depending on various factors.
Here are common things that can influence siding replacement costs.
Material Type and Quality
Your siding’s appearance, durability and lifespan depend on your selected material. High-quality options might come at a higher upfront cost but often last long. Vinyl is a popular due to its cost-effectiveness but it’s more prone to dents, cracks and fading. On the other hand, James Hardie® siding offers excellent resistance to fire, pest, water and weather-related damage. Due to its factory-applied, baked-on finish, it can keep your home appealing for longer.
Home Size and Design
The size and architectural details of your home can influence your siding replacement cost. Larger houses require more material and longer installation times, increasing the project’s cost. It’s the same for homes with multiple stories and complex designs.
Labor Costs
Your siding’s longevity is also in the hands of your installer. That’s why you should carefully select the contractor you’ll hire for your project. Look for experienced local professionals who specialize in your preferred material. It will help to ask for referrals from your friends, family and neighbors. Moreover, expertise comes at a cost but investing in superior craftsmanship can save you more money in the long run.
Removal, Disposal and Repairs
Removing and disposing of the old siding material can add to your project’s cost. Ask your contractor if these jobs are included in their estimate. Sometimes, professionals discover underlying damage after tearing off the old material. If this is the case, they will need to perform repairs before installing the new siding, affecting your project’s cost.
