When the siding on a home begins to wear out, it can affect many different aspects of life for the homeowner. For starters, siding helps keep your home insulated—when materials begin fading, their ability to keep your interior comfortable begins fading, too. Additionally, worn-out siding can greatly detract from the curb appeal at any address!
Even with these important functions in mind, many people delay getting new siding, fearing that the cost of a siding replacement will be more expensive than they were hoping. While it's hard to pinpoint an exact price to expect, Paramount Siding & Windows Inc. is here to help clear things up.
Since we were first founded in 2009, our crew at Paramount Siding & Windows has been the trusted local siding company throughout Denver and the surrounding regions. We understand firsthand all the different factors affecting the price of a siding installation and break down some of the major line items on any estimate below.
The Siding Material Selection You Make Will Matter
First and foremost, there are many different siding materials available on the market today, and each comes with its own set of prices. This will definitely be one of the main items affecting your overall siding replacement estimate.
For homeowners interested in budget-friendly solutions, selecting a material that is affordable and reliable over a premium option could make a world of difference in your final cost!
Some of the most common types of siding and their average pricing include:
- Vinyl Siding: $3-$8 Per Square Foot
- Metal Siding: $3-$10 Per Square Foot
- Engineered Wood Siding: $6-$11 Per Square Foot
- Fiber Cement Siding: $6-$13 Per Square Foot
- Wood Siding: $7-$14 Per Square Foot
Take the Size of Your Residence into Consideration
Another reason your siding replacement estimate may be higher or lower than that of your neighbor is the size of your home—the larger the home, the more siding panels that need to be ordered and installed.
Additionally, if your home has a more complex layout that includes components like dormers, gables, or even just multiple stories, this could impact your final cost as it may require specialized equipment, larger crew sizes, or more time and effort.
Remove Old Panels & Address Underlying Damage
Part of any siding replacement service includes removing the old siding panels. If you only have a single layer of old materials to get removed, your final estimate will be lower than if you have two or more layers of past siding panels still installed underneath. This will require more time and labor, incurring additional costs.
Similarly, siding installers often find underlying damage once they've removed the old panels. If your siding contractor needs to address mold growth, structural issues, damaged insulation, or something else before getting started on the replacement materials, you may see an additional line item for this on your final cost breakdown.
Pairing Additional Services With Siding Installations
During a replacement siding project, homeowners often opt for additional exterior remodeling services that are best taken care of at the same time as a siding installation.
If your contractor offers other services that you decide to schedule as part of your project, you can expect to see a higher estimate as a result. Some common exterior remodeling projects that come up during a siding installation could include:
- Layer of Foam Insulation
- Soffit & Fascia Upgrades
- New Window & Door Trim
- New Gutter Installation
