About the Replacement Cost Calculator
Siding replacement transforms your home's curb appeal, weather protection, and energy efficiency. Whether you're upgrading from aging vinyl, switching to fiber cement, or considering brick veneer, our calculator breaks down costs by material, wall area, number of stories, and removal scope — helping you compare options and set a realistic budget.
How We Calculate Replacement Cost
We calculate per-square-foot costs for your selected siding material and add corresponding labor rates. A story multiplier adjusts for height access: 2-story homes add 15%, 3-story homes add 30% for scaffolding and difficulty. If removing existing siding, tear-off labor is added at $1-$2 per square foot. House wrap, trim, and cleanup are included as standard line items.
Factors That Affect Replacement Cost
Key factors affecting siding replacement cost: total wall area (minus windows and doors), siding material (vinyl is cheapest, brick veneer is most expensive), number of stories (scaffolding adds cost), whether old siding must be removed, condition of underlying sheathing (rot repair adds cost), trim complexity (corners, soffits, window surrounds), and regional labor rates.
