What drives the price

Wall area

Siding is priced per square foot of wall, not floor area.

Material

Vinyl is least expensive; fiber cement and cedar cost more but last longer.

Sheathing and rot repair

Water-damaged sheathing behind old siding is common here and adds cost.

Trim and paint

Factory-finished boards cost more but skip on-site painting.

Most Puget Sound homes land between $28,000 and $40,000 for fiber cement on about 2,000 square feet of wall. Vinyl costs less; cedar costs more.

Contractors measure the wall area to be covered, which is often larger than the home’s floor area.

It resists rot, pests and fire, holds paint for years, and is one of the best-recouping exterior upgrades at resale.
