What changes the price
- Removing the old siding. About $1,000 to $2,500 for a typical house (Fixr), and it lets us check the wall underneath.
- Trim, soffit and fascia. Trim runs about $0.50 to $30 per linear foot, soffit $6 to $30 and fascia $7 to $22 (Fixr). Wrapping old wood trim in aluminum is often part of the job.
- Stories and access. Taller walls take more material and labor.
- Corners, gables and openings. More cuts and flashing around windows and doors add time.
- Weather barrier. House wrap and flashing are what keep water out; they should be named in your estimate.
Resale return
The 2025 JLC Cost vs Value report found fiber cement siding replacement returned about 114% of its cost at resale, national average (JLC Cost vs Value 2025; also reported by Consumer Reports).
Choosing for Panhandle weather
Hail, wind and cold snaps matter here. There is no standard hail rating for siding the way there is for roofing, so compare thickness, warranty terms and how each product is repaired. Our hail and exteriors guide covers what is known.
