Pricing Factors

What Factors Affect the Cost of New Siding?

01

Home Size and Wall Area

More wall area means more material and labor. A two-story home has nearly twice the siding area of a single-story home with the same floor plan.

02

Material Choice

The single biggest cost factor. Vinyl is the most affordable. Cedar and composite cost 2 to 3x more but offer a premium look and longer lifespan.

03

Number of Stories

Multi-story homes require scaffolding, longer material runs, and more labor time. Two-story homes add 80% more wall area vs. single-story.

04

Trim, Soffit, and Fascia

Replacing trim, soffit, and fascia alongside siding adds approximately 20% to the project cost but ensures a cohesive, finished look.

05

Existing Siding Removal

Removing old siding adds $1.00 to $2.50 per sq ft. Some siding (like lead paint-era wood) requires special handling and disposal.

06

Insulation Upgrades

Adding or upgrading wall insulation during re-siding adds $1 to $3 per sq ft but pays back through lower energy bills within 3 to 5 years.

07

Window and Door Trim

Complex homes with many windows, doors, and architectural details require more trim work, custom cuts, and flashing, increasing labor costs.

08

Permits and Code Compliance

Seattle-area building permits for siding typically cost $150 to $400 depending on municipality and scope of work.

Why Siding Costs Vary in the Seattle Area

Labor rates in King County run 15 to 25% higher than the national average, driven by demand and cost of living. PNW moisture requires moisture-barrier systems, proper flashing, and materials rated for high-humidity environments that add to project costs.

Material choice matters more in the Pacific Northwest than in most regions. Cedar siding needs regular staining to prevent moss and mildew growth. Fiber cement and vinyl resist moisture naturally, making them popular choices for Seattle homes. Engineered wood with factory-applied finishes offers a middle ground between cost and durability.

Washington state energy codes may require insulation upgrades when replacing siding, especially on older homes. This is an opportunity to improve your home's energy efficiency while the walls are exposed. Many homeowners save 10 to 20% on heating costs after a siding replacement with added insulation.

FAQ

Siding Cost Questions

Answers to the most common siding cost questions from Seattle homeowners.

How much does it cost to reside a house in Seattle?
Most Seattle-area homeowners pay $20,000 to $40,000 for a full siding replacement. Vinyl siding is the most affordable option at $16,000 to $24,000 for an average home. Fiber cement (James Hardie) costs $24,000 to $36,000. Cedar siding costs $30,000 to $50,000. The final price depends on home size, number of stories, material choice, and whether existing siding needs removal.
How much does siding cost per square foot installed?
Installed siding costs range from $8 to $25 per square foot in the Seattle area. Vinyl siding costs $8 to $12 per sq ft. Fiber cement (Hardie) costs $12 to $18 per sq ft. Engineered wood (LP SmartSide) costs $10 to $15 per sq ft. Cedar siding costs $15 to $25 per sq ft. These prices include materials, labor, and standard trim work.
What is the cheapest siding material?
Vinyl siding is the least expensive option at $8 to $12 per sq ft installed. It requires virtually no maintenance beyond occasional washing and lasts 20 to 40 years. For homeowners wanting a step up without breaking the budget, engineered wood (LP SmartSide) at $10 to $15 per sq ft offers a more premium look at a moderate price.
How much does James Hardie fiber cement siding cost installed?
James Hardie fiber cement siding costs $12 to $18 per sq ft installed in the Seattle area. For an average 2,000 sq ft home (approximately 3,600 sq ft of wall area for a two-story), expect to pay $24,000 to $36,000. Hardie siding is the most popular premium option in the Pacific Northwest due to its moisture resistance, fire resistance, and 30 to 50 year lifespan.
Is vinyl or fiber cement siding better for the Pacific Northwest?
Both materials perform well in the PNW climate. Vinyl siding is more affordable, maintenance-free, and handles moisture well. Fiber cement (Hardie) is more durable, resists impact better, holds paint longer, and offers a more premium look. Fiber cement also has better fire resistance, which matters in wildfire-prone areas. For budget projects, vinyl is a solid choice. For long-term value and curb appeal, fiber cement wins.
How long does a siding replacement take?
A full siding replacement typically takes 1 to 3 weeks for a standard home. Smaller single-story homes may be completed in 5 to 7 days. Larger two or three-story homes with complex trim work take 2 to 3 weeks. Weather can extend timelines during the rainy season. Removal of existing siding adds 1 to 3 days depending on material and condition.
Does new siding increase home value?
Yes. New siding is one of the highest-ROI exterior improvements. According to the Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value Report, fiber cement siding replacement recoups 65 to 80% of the investment at resale. Vinyl siding recoups 60 to 70%. Beyond resale value, new siding reduces energy costs, eliminates maintenance headaches, and dramatically improves curb appeal.
How much does it cost to side a 1,500 sq ft house?
For a 1,500 sq ft single-story home (approximately 1,500 sq ft of wall area), siding costs range from $12,000 to $37,500 depending on material. Vinyl: $12,000 to $18,000. Engineered wood: $15,000 to $22,500. Fiber cement: $18,000 to $27,000. Cedar: $22,500 to $37,500. For a two-story 1,500 sq ft home, multiply these ranges by approximately 1.8x due to increased wall area.
