How we calculate this
We start with your house's total square footage and number of stories, which together determine your home's real wall area (footprint, then perimeter, then wall area by story - more stories means more wall area, not less, even though the footprint shrinks).
The material you pick selects which real, priced assembly your estimate is built from, and what's currently on your house determines the removal rate. Your ZIP code then applies a real regional cost factor to material and labor rates, not a generic "low, average, or high cost area" bucket.
Our pricing is built from a licensed national costbook (unit costs for materials and labor, priced line by line) plus real regional cost indices - not a market survey, and not a substitute for a contractor’s own quote.

Cost by material
For a 2,000-2,999 sq ft home, 2 stories, at national rates. Computed directly from the same engine as the calculator above - enter your ZIP there for a number adjusted to your area.
| Material | Typical low | Most likely | Typical high |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | $9,244 | $18,489 | $27,733 |
| Wood | $9,318 | $18,636 | $27,955 |
| Stucco | $11,553 | $23,107 | $34,660 |
| Aluminum | $11,770 | $23,539 | $35,309 |
| Fiber cement | $12,844 | $25,689 | $38,533 |
What drives the cost
Home size (wall area)
$10,229–$20,458
The single biggest driver - more floor area means more wall area to cover, even after the square-footprint approximation this figure uses (see methodology).
Stories
$13,651–$18,676
More stories means MORE siding, not less - a taller, narrower home has more total wall area than a single-story home of the same floor size, even though its footprint (and perimeter) shrinks. Wall height is priced at 9' per story, sourced from this costbook's own 'add for work above 9' high' removal adder - the base rate's own stated boundary, not an invented number.
Material
$18,676–$25,948
Vinyl to fiber cement spans a real, computed range at the identical home size - see the cards above for all 5 priceable materials.
Existing siding removal
$18,676–$20,147
What's coming OFF the house affects price as much as what's going on - vinyl removes for less than wood-plank-style materials. If your current siding is brick or stone, removal isn't priced at all (a real gap, not folded into this range) - your total would still include the new material install, just not that removal cost.
Local labor rates
Enter your ZIP code above for real region-specific labor and material rates, not a generic "low, average, or high cost area" bucket.
Repair vs. replacement
Everything on this page prices a full siding replacement. Repair costs depend too much on the specific problem to price generically - a small patched leak and a large storm-damaged section can both be called “a repair,” and they cost nothing alike. If your siding just needs a repair, say so in the questions ahead and your matched contractor will give you a real quote after taking a look, at no cost to you.
Questions to ask a contractor
Worth asking before you hire anyone for siding work.
