What drives the price
The biggest driver is material choice: vinyl sits at the low end of installed cost per square foot, while fiber cement, engineered wood, natural wood, and stone veneer climb from there. Labor rates and home complexity matter too — two-story walls, steep pitches, and hard-to-reach gables raise scaffolding, safety, and crew hours. Tear-off scope and hidden damage found once the old siding comes off (punky sheathing, failed flashing, moisture) can add meaningfully to the invoice.

FAQ
How much does a full siding replacement cost?
Most sources put full siding replacement at roughly $8,000–$30,000 for a typical home, with per-square-foot installed costs of about $3.50–$25 depending on material. A 2,000-square-foot home with vinyl commonly lands around $9,000–$17,000, while fiber cement on the same home runs higher.
Is vinyl or fiber cement cheaper?
Vinyl is the lower-cost option, generally installed in the $3.50–$8.00 per square foot range. Fiber cement typically runs $7.00–$12.00 per square foot installed because the boards are heavier and harder to work with.
What extras can raise the price?
Full tear-off and disposal of old siding, sheathing repair for hidden moisture damage, house wrap and trim packages, and scaffolding for two-story or steep-pitch walls all add to the base cost. Sources note that hidden damage found during tear-off can add 5–15% to the project.
How much siding do I need?
A common rule of thumb is home perimeter times wall height, minus about 15% for doors and windows. A typical 2,000-square-foot single-story home works out to roughly 1,600–2,000 square feet of wall area, and installers add a 10–15% waste factor for cutting and fitting.
