Green Eco Solutions has been replacing siding on homes throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania for more than three decades. “What is the cost to replace siding on a house?”, is a top question asked among our prospective clients, and the answer is complex as it depends on a wide range of factors.

Factors That Affect the Cost to Replace Siding:

• Location & Time of Year

Most siding replacement contractors will quote you a price per square foot, and that dollar amount is greatly affected by where your home is located. This is due to labor prices in your area and the cost of permits and other additional expenses. Season matters as well, and some contractors even offer off-season discounts because they have fewer projects to complete during that period.

• Size & Shape

Size and shape are also important considerations when it comes to the question “What is the cost to replace siding on a house?”. The larger the home, the more work and materials that are required. Design is a factor as well. A home with multiple stories not only requires more labor but may need additional equipment, such as scaffolding, and a home that is essentially a box is far easier to side than a home that has dormers, turrets, and other unique design elements.

• Material Costs

The price of materials is, of course, a big component of the question “What is the cost to replace siding on a house?”. One of the advantages of choosing an established contractor like Green Eco Solutions is that we’re able to use our buying power and network to get our customers very competitive prices, but there will always be market factors in play. There is also the matter of the siding material you choose. One of the reasons that vinyl siding is so popular, for instance, is that it costs less than fiber cement siding.

• Old Siding Tear-Off

While there are exceptions, you’ll generally need to have your old siding removed, which is an additional cost. If the old siding is in reasonably good shape, then this cost is usually not considerable, but that can change if the old siding is in poor condition and certainly if water damage has occurred beneath it.
