New or Replacement Vinyl Siding Project Overview
Your home’s siding is one of the most important features of its exterior! It not only affects curb appeal but also provides protection from the elements, improves insulation, and contributes to the long-term value of your home. Over time, your home’s siding can deteriorate due to exposure to the weather, UV damage, moisture, and aging in general, which may prompt you to replace the siding on part or all of your home. If you house is painted, you may want to explore our exterior painting cost calculator as well.
Included in this Estimate:
- Old Siding Removal (if selected): If your existing siding needs to be removed, it will be torn down and properly disposed of. The underlying structure will be inspected to ensure it’s in good condition and ready for new vinyl siding installation. Minor repairs to the sheathing or underlayment may be necessary and are factored into this estimate.
- All New Materials and Installation Supplies: This estimate includes the cost of all vinyl siding materials, underlayment wrap (if required), fasteners, insulation, and other supplies necessary to complete the project.
- Labor Costs to Complete the Project: The total man-hours required to install the new vinyl siding, adjusted for the style of siding you select and your location, are factored into this estimate.
- Site Cleanup and Disposal: After installation, any leftover materials, old siding, and debris will be cleaned up and removed. Common disposal fees have been accounted for in this estimate.
Not Included:
- Major Sheathing or Structural Repairs: If significant damage to the sheathing or structure is discovered during the siding removal, additional costs for repairs may apply.
- Replacement Gutter or Downspouts: Since all existing trim and siding must be removed, it’s common to install new gutters at the same time you do this project. Go to our seamless gutter estimator to learn how much new gutters may cost.
