Siding Replacement Costs Explained
If you're thinking about upgrading your home's siding, you’re likely wondering: How much is this going to cost me? At Valentine Roofing, we understand that replacing your siding is a big investment - one that can dramatically boost your home’s curb appeal, protection, and value. Whether you're dealing with old, weather-worn siding or simply want a fresh new look, knowing what to expect financially will help you plan with confidence.
Here’s a breakdown of the factors that can impact the cost of your siding project and what you’ll see in a typical estimate.
Key Factors That Impact the Cost of Siding Installation
- Your Home’s Size and Shape
The larger your home, or the more complex its architecture, the more material and labor will be required. Homes with multiple stories, gables, and custom design elements often require additional time and effort, which can affect the price. - Your Choice of Material
At Valentine Roofing, we proudly install James Hardie® fiber cement siding, known for its long-lasting durability, fire resistance, and stunning finish. Fiber cement costs more than vinyl but less than wood in most cases, and it requires far less maintenance than traditional wood siding.
Even within the James Hardie line, your price can vary based on the product line. For example:
- Hardie® Plank siding offers a classic look with excellent value.
- Hardie® Architectural Panel features thick boards for a bold, luxurious aesthetic.
- Custom colors or finishes may also increase the cost, depending on your design goals.
Valentine Roofing also proudly installs Alside composite and vinyl siding. Alside’s ASCEND® Composite Cladding offers a first-of-its-kind solution that brings together beauty, performance and easy installation for one of the best overall values on the market. The affordable, versatile and easy maintenance benefits of vinyl siding by Alside® have made it one of the most popular siding choices available.
- Labor Costs
Labor rates vary by contractor and region. At Valentine Roofing, our team is trained, licensed, insured, and follows the highest standards of installation, safety, and craftsmanship. We’re proud to be a James Hardie Contractor, which means you can expect reliable, professional results with no shortcuts. - The Time of Year
Spring and summer are peak seasons for exterior projects. Scheduling your siding replacement in early spring or late fall may offer a quicker timeline or slightly better pricing, depending on availability and weather. - Condition of Existing Siding
Removing old siding can affect the total cost. A thorough inspection is part of our estimate process.

Is New Siding Worth It?
Absolutely. New siding transforms your home’s appearance, but it also boosts energy efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and can even increase resale value. James Hardie siding in particular is built to withstand the Pacific Northwest climate, rain, wind, and all.
Investing in premium siding now means fewer worries and repairs later. With Valentine Roofing, you’ll get the peace of mind that comes from working with the most trusted exterior contractor in the region.
