The cost for siding installation can vary, but usually material drives up the most cost. Though higher-quality material can cost more, it tends to last longer and reduces the need for replacement siding or exterior painting.
The size of a home is another major factor. The larger the house, the higher the cost for materials and labor. The cost of your siding project can also depend on the shape of your home. Siding a house with turrets, eaves, and multiple floors will require higher labor costs than a house with a simple cube shape.
If your home’s current siding is older, you may need to remove or overlay, which can also drive up the costs. Some types of siding can be installed on top of old siding; otherwise, you may need to pay more for removal.
