What drives the cost
- Material can swing the total by 4x: vinyl to stone veneer is a very different job.
- Tear-off and trim add real money and are often left out of rough quotes.
- Taller homes cost more per sq ft because of scaffolding and slower work.
- Wet or rotted sheathing found under old siding is the most common surprise.
Ways to keep a siding project affordable
- Use a premium material as an accent, such as stone at the base, and a value material elsewhere.
- Replace house wrap and flashing while the walls are open. It is cheap now and expensive later.
- Ask for factory-finished boards so you do not pay for painting on site.
- Bundle with window replacement or a new roof to save on scaffolding and trim.
