Vinyl Siding Cost Factors
Several cost factors will determine the total price of installing new vinyl siding on your home, particularly the amount of siding needed, the type of vinyl you use, whether the siding is being replaced or newly installed, any necessary repairs, and labor costs.
Cost per Square Foot
One of the most important factors of house residing costs is the overall size of the house, as this determines the amount of material and labor hours needed to complete the project.
| Square Footage | Average Cost Range |
|---|---|
| 1,000 | $2,920–$12,420 |
| 1,200 | $3,800– $16,150 |
| 1,500 | $4,380–$18,630 |
| 2,000 | $5,840–$24,840 |
Type
The type of vinyl siding you choose is among the biggest factors affecting cost. Depending on the brand, style, and quality, you can pay anywhere from $3 to $12 per square foot. For instance, you'll spend closer to $10.50 per square foot for insulated vinyl siding, while traditional lap and smooth vinyl siding costs closer to $4 per square foot.
Replacement
It’s more expensive to replace vinyl siding than it is to install during new construction since the old siding must be removed and disposed of. Replacing about 200 square feet of vinyl siding usually costs around $1,600. This figure includes equipment, materials, and labor costs.
Repairs
In some cases, your home’s vinyl siding may just need repairs instead of replacement, or both might be necessary. Siding repair costs around $2 to $4 per square foot, so you can expect to pay around $400 to $800 to repair 200 square feet of vinyl siding.
Labor
If you hire a vinyl siding contractor to install vinyl siding for you, you'll likely spend between $2 and $5 per square foot in labor costs, averaging to about $3.70 per square foot. So, if you install 1,200 square feet of vinyl siding, you're looking at around $4,440 in labor costs.
Painting
In some cases, you might want to paint over your vinyl siding, either for aesthetic reasons or to protect it from weather damage. A complete exterior paint project will cost between $2,000 and $5,000, mostly depending on the size of the home.

Does Installing Vinyl Siding Increase Home Value?
Yes, installing new vinyl siding can definitely increase your home’s value. Vinyl siding is not only extremely durable (meaning potential buyers don’t have to worry about the cost of replacing exterior trim and siding anytime soon), but many materials also offer enhanced energy efficiency. These two benefits mean that vinyl siding can significantly increase home value, recouping as much as 67% of your total vinyl siding costs when it’s time to sell the home.
Budgeting for Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is a great way to protect your home, update its look, and save on energy bills. Here are a few tips to save more money when taking on this project:
Choose your vinyl material carefully—you may be able to save money by choosing thinner materials over a thicker premium material while getting most of the same benefits.
Opt for simple, flat, or lightly textured siding versus more detailed materials.
Try to get your vinyl siding replaced in the off-season (fall and winter) for savings on labor costs.
See if you qualify for any tax breaks for energy-efficient vinyl siding to offset your costs.
Remove your old vinyl siding yourself to save hundreds or thousands on vinyl siding replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vinyl siding is one of the most budget-friendly material choices for siding a home, rivaled only by aluminum. It is also easier to install than most other siding choices, lasts longer than many other options, and tends to hold its color and appearance better than many other materials.
A box of vinyl siding costs around $500, on average, and contains enough material to cover 200 square feet.
Since vinyl siding is priced by square foot, you can estimate how much you'll need by measuring the sides of your house. You can get a decent estimate by multiplying the length of each side by the width and then adding those figures together. To get a bit more specific, you can then multiply the length of each window and door by their width, then subtract those numbers from the first figures you calculated to account for the areas on your house where there won't be any siding.
Maintaining vinyl siding is fairly straightforward, as it’s a durable and resilient material that doesn’t often chip or attract pests. You should clean it annually; pressure washing costs between $170 and $310. You can hire a professional vinyl siding cleaner to keep it in tip-top shape.
