Various factors will influence the final cost of your siding project. In this blog post, we explore these variables so you know what to expect when planning your siding replacement.
Material
The choice of material mainly determines the overall cost of siding replacement. Options range from vinyl, known for its affordability and ease of maintenance, to fiber cement, which is often picked for its durability and aesthetic appeal. Each material offers distinct benefits regarding energy efficiency, resistance to wear, and visual impact, so it’s important to look into these other aspects when choosing a siding material.
Labor and Installation
Labor costs are another significant factor to take into account. The complexity of your project — influenced by the size of your home, the type of siding material chosen, and the current condition of your home’s exterior — will directly impact installation costs. You also need to check specific local construction guidelines, which may necessitate permits, adding to your expenses.
Additional Features and Considerations
Adding or upgrading features such as insulation or house wrap can significantly affect the total cost of your project. These components are particularly crucial in regions where temperature fluctuations and humidity can impact indoor comfort and structural integrity. Furthermore, factors such as architectural style and the inclusion of custom fittings or finishes will also add to the cost.
Project Size and Home Architecture
The scale of your siding project and your home’s architectural characteristics will also dictate the final costs. Larger homes or those with intricate designs may require more materials and labor, increasing the price. Additionally, homes with unique architectural features or those requiring extensive prep work due to old or damaged siding will see higher project costs.
