Skip any one and the estimate drifts 15 to 40 percent.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"sw-t__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>Measure exterior wall square footage<\/h3>\n<p>Multiply each wall length by wall height and sum the four sides. Subtract for windows and doors only when total openings exceed 10 percent of wall area. A 1,500 sq ft floor single-story home typically has 1,500 to 1,800 sq ft of siding. A 2,500 sq ft two-story home runs 2,500 to 3,000 sq ft.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Pick the material tier<\/h3>\n<p>Vinyl runs $3 to $7 per sq ft installed and lasts 20 to 40 years. Fiber cement (HardiePlank) is $10 to $18 and lasts 30 to 50 years per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jameshardie.com\/why-james-hardie\/our-warranty\" rel=\"noopener\">James Hardie 30 year warranty<\/a>. Cedar is $8 to $15 with a 20 to 30 year life if maintained. Engineered wood (LP SmartSide) is $8 to $13 and lasts 30+ years. Aluminum is $6 to $12 and lasts 30 to 40 years.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Add trim, corners, and accessories<\/h3>\n<p>Trim, corner boards, and J-channel typically run 12 to 18 percent of material cost. House wrap adds $0.25 to $0.50 per sq ft. Flashing around windows and doors runs $80 to $200 per opening. Most underestimated line item on a first bid.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Add demo and scaffolding<\/h3>\n<p>Demo of existing siding runs $0.80 to $1.50 per sq ft of wall area. Scaffolding or staging for two or more stories adds $1 to $2 per sq ft on top of base labor. Rotted sheathing repair runs $4 to $8 per sq ft when discovered behind the old siding.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Apply regional labor multiplier<\/h3>\n<p>Coastal metros and high cost-of-living markets price siding labor 20 to 40 percent above the national median per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/oes\/current\/oes472031.htm\" rel=\"noopener\">BLS 2024 Occupational Employment Statistics for Carpenters<\/a>.

A 1,800 sq ft single-story home runs $5,400 to $12,600 for vinyl, $14,400 to $23,400 for engineered wood, and $18,000 to $32,400 for fiber cement (HardiePlank). Two-story scaffolding typically adds 15 to 25 percent.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the cheapest siding material to install?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"sw-t__faq-answer\">Standard vinyl at $3 to $5 per sq ft installed is the cheapest. Premium vinyl runs $5 to $7 with thicker panels, deeper colors, and 25 to 40 year warranties. Aluminum at $6 to $12 is the next tier up. Cedar, engineered wood, and fiber cement land in the $8 to $18 range.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How much does HardiePlank fiber cement cost installed?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"sw-t__faq-answer\">HardiePlank fiber cement runs $10 to $18 per sq ft installed in 2026. A 1,800 sq ft home runs $18,000 to $32,400 with trim, corners, and demo. James Hardie offers a 30 year non-prorated warranty on the panels. The premium over vinyl typically pays back in resale value within 6 to 10 years.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<h3 class=\"sw-t__faq-subh\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#0f172a;margin:24px 0 12px;text-align:left;\">Materials, prep &#038; timing questions<\/h3>\n<details>\n<summary>Why does two-story siding cost more?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"sw-t__faq-answer\">Two or more stories adds scaffolding, staging, or boom-lift rental at $1 to $2 per sq ft of wall area, plus 20 to 40 percent more crew time per panel due to material handling height. Total premium versus single-story is typically 15 to 25 percent on the same wall sq ft.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do I have to remove old siding first?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"sw-t__faq-answer\">Vinyl can sometimes be installed over existing vinyl or wood lap siding if the substrate is flat and sound, saving $0.80 to $1.50 per sq ft in demo. Fiber cement, cedar, and brick veneer require demo down to sheathing. Most contractors recommend demo regardless to inspect for rot and re-flash openings.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long does a full reside take?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"sw-t__faq-answer\">A 3-person crew typically completes a 1,800 sq ft single-story reside in 4 to 7 working days. A 2,800 sq ft two-story runs 8 to 14 days. Demo adds 1 to 2 days. Sheathing repair, weather delays, or trim-heavy elevations stretch timelines 30 to 50 percent.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How can I get an exact siding estimate fast?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"sw-t__faq-answer\">Use the SimplyWise Cost Estimator app. Photograph each elevation, the app measures wall sq ft, pulls real labor and materials pricing for your ZIP code, and generates an itemized proposal in under 60 seconds.
