Knowing The True Siding Prices And Long Term Costs



As you contemplate a final siding product for your house or finalize your decision as to an upgrade, you’ll need to carefully consider the vast array of siding prices and estimate, as best you can, true long term siding costs.   By evaluating the pros and cons of a variety of construction products and materials, you’ll be able to develop a decent idea of what material and at what price a certain siding makes sense for you and your house.  Start off by compiling a comparative portfolio of pricing details from different companies, retailers and installers with respect to a cross section of siding materials.

Manufacturers of each of the different materials will sing the praises of their product.  If budget is a concern for you, above all else, then the lower the siding prices, the better.  If you are going to take on the siding project yourself, it can be a little daunting to figure out the true siding costs beforehand.  When you do your comparison shopping, you’ll need to make a lot of calculations during the process.   Start off by having a look at some pretty competitively priced vinyl siding with the Bluelinx Forest Ridge D5 .042 vinyl lap siding.  A carton of 20 12-foot panels of lap siding will cost you around $150.00, more or less.  This carton of panels is designed to cover 2 12’x12’ square areas of your house.

For pricing on siding of a different material you might take a look at Hardiplank siding to get an idea.  Across the board, unless you stumble on an incredible offer, Hardiplank siding or fiber cement siding will cost you more than vinyl siding.  However, the difference may not be so pronounced that the price will sway you one way or another.  Some of the features of this type of siding may convince you that the long-term costs could even out or work in favor of fiber cement siding. 

The ability to paint Hardiplank siding with ease, for example, may be give this type of siding more value to you when you are evaluating siding prices.  Depending on the manufacturer and any existing specials, you can expect to pay between $1.50 and $1.75 per square foot.  If you have someone install it for you, your price will most likely be in excess of $2.00 per square foot.  Look into brands like Certainteed, James Hardie, Nichiha and others to compare prices among competitors. Make sure that you get a detailed estimate from any and all would be installers regardless of the material.

But for whatever material you are searching, the price per square foot of the siding isn’t always a true indicator of the overall value of the material.  Is one easier to maintain than another?  Do you have to have a true wood siding or do you prefer environmentally friendly products?  Do you have a certain architectural house design that meshes with a particular siding material better than another?  The answer to these questions and others will help guide you down the road of siding price investigation.  After all, it makes no sense spending time to research a siding product that you have ruled out.  Once you have made at least a cursory journey through the product comparison landscape, you will be in a better position to gauge what the different prices mean to you and your house.
