What drives the cost

Siding cost is driven by wall area, material (vinyl is the budget option; engineered wood and fiber cement cost more), the number of stories, and trim around windows and doors. Tearing off old siding and repairing sheathing underneath adds to the total.

Resale value

New siding is one of the highest-return exterior projects — fiber-cement siding recoups roughly 80–88% of its cost at resale, per the annual Remodeling Cost vs. Value report.
