New siding can be one of the most expensive projects that homeowners face. As with most home improvement choices, there is a direct relationship between quality and true cost, in this comparison chart, "quality" usually translates as low, or no maintenance. With new siding, it rarely makes sense to bargain-basement shop by choosing a siding material based on price, when spending a little more may give you an exterior that lasts for as long as you own the house while keeping repairs and maintenance at a minimum.
Expected longevity of these common residential siding materials includes expected repairs and maintenance represented in this comparison chart.
This Comparison Chart averaged national costs based on a 2,000 square foot house, with new siding installed by professionals. Also, we compared expected life spans based on Montana and Wyoming Insurance Reports. Some warranties vary due to accelerated pro-ration.
