COST OF SIDING INSTALLATION
The cost of the installing new siding is dependent on several factors. The material quality is an important one, as a higher quality material is more expensive than a basic siding. The contractor used is a factor too, an experienced and fully qualified sidings installer may be more expensive than one who is not fully trained or experienced in installation. The last factor to consider is the property itself. If it is a basic structure, with straight walls then the installation will be more straightforward. If the property has period features, window bays or other architectural designs that need to be worked around then this could add to the cost.
Installing siding can cost on average between $6 and $12 per square foot. Vinyl is often the cheapest material as it is the most straightforward to deal with. It means labor costs are cheaper too. Fiber cement, also known as Hardie Siding is a fairly popular option in Minneapolis, it also falls into the average price range. Cedar siding is the most costly in the range, it requires special treatments and painting after installation which means additional labor costs. It also requires regular maintenance over the years after installation too.
It is possible to install new siding yourself. Vinyl can be fairly cheap at around $5 per square foot, but the cheapest option might not be the best. It is important that siding is fitted correctly, so getting an experienced installer is the best option. That way you can ensure you get the best out of your new siding.
