How Much Does the Siding Cost in Seattle?
The cost of Seattle siding installation, repair or renovation depends on several different factors, such as the size of the house and accessibility of the home, the material and profile you choose from, as well as the life span of the current siding.
If the life span of the siding is over and left untended, it can cause damage to the materials underneath and, in some cases, the house’s integrity. If that occurs, the cost of the siding project will be higher to account for repairs needed to be done.
We make sure we give homeowners everything they need to make an informed decision based on their budget. You can feel confident knowing you’re receiving competitive pricing and quality workmanship for the full scope of your project.
Vinyl Siding is one of the most affordable options due to its low material cost and easy installation. It is durable and requires little to no maintenance. It is usually between $7.5–8.5 per sq ft. For an average home, you’ll need about 2,000 sq ft of siding material, which brings the total to approximately $15,000 – $17,000.
Fiber Cement (James Hardie®) has grown considerably in popularity. It is very durable and resistant to rot, termites, and fire. It can be challenging to install, so finding professional siding installers is key. The cost increases to $10–12 per sq ft, bringing the total amount for the same house to around $20,000 – $24,000.
Cedar Siding is hard to match in terms of look and curb appeal. It is pretty easy to work with but requires a lot more maintenance than the other options. This is more of a premium option starting at $13–14 per sq ft. That brings the total for the same house to $26,000 – $28,000 without additional costs for painting or other decorative elements.
Here’s a quick table of some siding materials and their cost per sq. ft.
