No federal agency tracks a per-square-foot installed price, so the closest benchmark comes from builders themselves. NAHB&#8217;s 2024 Construction Cost Survey samples 41 home builders. It reports the exterior wall finish (siding, brick, stucco, or stone, materials and labor together) at $24,450 on average. That is 5.7 percent of the $428,215 average construction cost on a 2,647 sq ft new home. It covers new construction, not a re-siding bid. Tear-off and trim work change the labor picture on an existing house. Treat the figure as a builder-reported anchor, not a quote.<\/p>\n<h2>Which material are homeowners actually choosing?<\/h2>\n<p>Material choice moves the estimate more than almost anything else. Vinyl held the top spot for new single-family houses started in 2025, at 27.7 percent. That is its second straight year on top. Stucco followed at 24.1 percent and fiber cement at 22.6 percent, per NAHB&#8217;s reporting of Census data. Brick took 16.8 percent and wood 5.9 percent, and every other material came in under 2 percent.<\/p>\n<table class=\"pm__table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Material<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">2025 national share<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What moves its price<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Vinyl siding<\/td>\n<td>27.7 percent<\/td>\n<td>Panel gauge and trim style; usually the fastest install<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Stucco<\/td>\n<td>24.1 percent<\/td>\n<td>Coats applied and crew specialization<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fiber cement<\/td>\n<td>22.6 percent<\/td>\n<td>Plank profile and cutting labor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wood siding<\/td>\n<td>5.9 percent<\/td>\n<td>Species and the repaint cycle it commits you to<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Engineered wood<\/td>\n<td>Not reported separately<\/td>\n<td>Warranty terms versus solid wood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Metal panel siding<\/td>\n<td>Under 2 percent<\/td>\n<td>Gauge and specialized fastening labor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"pm__callout\"><strong>Honest note:<\/strong> no allowed source publishes an installed cost per square foot by material. Treat any figure elsewhere as one contractor&#8217;s range, not a statistic.<\/div>\n<h2>Why labor, not just material, drives siding installation cost<\/h2>\n<p>Labor is harder to pin down because siding crews are not their own federal job category. Carpenters, a practical wage benchmark for siding crews, earned a $60,580 median annual wage as of May 2025 (BLS). That is a wage paid, not a rate billed; burden and margin ride on top, per our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplywise.com\/blog\/contractor-hourly-labor-rates-by-trade\/\">contractor hourly labor rates by trade<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pm__inline-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Turn a siding tear-off photo into an itemized estimate, free &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The siding contracting industry, by the numbers<\/h2>\n<p>IBISWorld sizes the Roofing and Siding Contractors industry at $110.6 billion in revenue in 2026. That spans roughly 144,000 businesses, a 3.6 percent compound annual growth rate from 2021 to 2026, and a 6.7 percent profit margin. The industry contracted 1.3 percent in 2026, its second straight year of decline. Residential self-pay spending pulled back, real leverage for a homeowner comparing bids.<\/p>\n<h2>How to estimate your siding installation cost<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"pm__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>Measure the wall area, not the floor plan<\/h3>\n<p>Multiply exterior perimeter by wall height, then subtract door and window openings. Floor-plan footage undercounts a two-story house.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Decide tear-off versus install over existing siding<\/h3>\n<p>A tear-off adds disposal and prep labor a new-construction figure like NAHB&#8217;s does not carry. Ask each bidder which method they priced.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Get material, labor, and disposal as separate line items<\/h3>\n<p>A bundled number hides which part of the job is expensive. Separate lines let you compare the piece that differs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Price the trim and accessories on their own line<\/h3>\n<p>Corner posts, J-channel, soffit, and fascia are often quoted apart from the field panels, and they add up fast.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Ask for the material brand and warranty terms in writing<\/h3>\n<p>A materials swap moves a bid more than a labor-rate gap. Match brand and warranty length before comparing price.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Confirm the permit requirement with your building department<\/h3>\n<p>Many jurisdictions require a permit for a full re-siding job, and the fee is not part of any builder-reported line.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>SimplyWise Cost Estimator for siding installation cost<\/h2>\n<section class=\"pm__promo\">\n<p>SimplyWise Cost Estimator turns a job-site photo into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds.
