National cost guide
Siding cost: what you can expect to pay in 2026
New siding has a wide price range because material, wall area, labor, stories, removal, trim, and repairs all matter. Use these ranges to start planning, then compare local written estimates for your actual home.
Installed siding commonly falls between $4 and $22 per square foot before project-specific work. A standard vinyl project sits at the lower end of the material spectrum, while stone veneer and complex masonry work sit much higher.
