The Truth About Siding Replacement Costs (2025)

You know the feeling. 

Pulling up to your driveway after a long day and thinking, “man, my home looks amazing.” Well, we hope you know the feeling. Because that, my friends, is the magic of a sharp exterior and quality craftsmanship. 

Maybe it’s been a while since you felt that way. (Or never did in the first place.) The siding is starting to fade and show signs of wear… Your home doesn’t look quite as fresh as it once did… But what’s more is this…

That wear and tear isn’t just affecting your curb appeal. It can also mean the potential for nasty water damage to your home. And that’s something you definitely don’t want. (Trust us. It’s expensive.)

So if your home is looking a little rougher around the edges, it might be time for siding replacement or siding repair services. The investment is well worth it (as you’ll learn shortly) and is one of the best ways to give your home a striking, new look. 

Read on to learn the telltale signs of whether your siding needs replaced, typical siding replacement costs, and a few tips for finding the right crew for the job.

When is it Time to Replace Your Siding?

Here’s the truth. Probably half of our customers update their siding for one reason:

They’re ready for a new look. 

And at E&E, we believe that’s as good a reason as any. You should be able to live in a home you’re proud of. Sometimes, that means exterior renovations.

The other half of our customers have a different issue. They’ve discovered water damages that are only going to get worse over time. These problems, when left untreated, can amount to big headaches and even bigger bills. 

So, to make sure you’re not in that category, take a walk around your home and check for the following. All are telltale signs water is up to no good in the exterior of your house. If you notice any, get a complimentary consultation and estimate ASAP. 

• Cracks, Holes, Missing Panels: While little imperfections can detract from your home’s overall look, cracks, holes, and missing panels can mean something more nefarious: water. And it only gets worse.
• Bubbling or Warped Siding: Bubbling on siding or panels that have warped out of shape means water is already up to no good. It’s best to get a talk to an expert to make sure the damage won’t spread.
• Higher Utility Bills: Updated siding is one of the best ways to keep HVAC bills lower year round. In fact, these savings are one of the reasons new siding can recoup as much as 67–95% of your initial investment!
• Streaks, Discoloration, Black Stains (Stucco): If your home has stucco siding, these signs are your home’s exterior calling for help. Unfortunately, stucco homes in southeastern PA have a bad reputation, so if you’re noticing issues, get a free consultation before the trouble spreads.
• Rot Around Fixtures: Take a moment to sniff around your windows, doors, and the corners of your home. And we do mean sniff. If you notice a musty, woody, or even fungal smell, you’ve got rot—something that only gets worse over time.
  

How Much Will My Siding Replacement Cost?

So you’ve decided siding replacement or repair services is the way to go. Now let’s address the elephant in the room.

The cost.

Siding replacement costs in Pennsylvania are affected by a few factors. Materials, square footage, and labor costs all play their part in determining the final number. There may be geographical differences as well. (E&E is currently serving homeowners in West Chest, Ambler, Downingtown, Malvern and surrounding areas—reach out to learn more.)

1. Vinyl Siding: $3 to $8 per square foot

Vinyl is by far our most popular option—and for good reason. Vinyl siding offers a great balance between cost and looks for most homeowners. You can expect to pay $10,000–$15,000 for an average sized home. With modern products coming in nearly limitless color and design options, you’re sure to find a unique look you love.

2. Fiber Cement Siding: $6 to $12 per square foot

Looking for luxury? Fiber cement siding is a great way to boost your home’s curb appeal. Fiber cement is an interesting compound. It looks like wood, but doesn’t require the upkeep. The siding replacement cost will likely run you $15,000–$25,000 for an average sized home in PA. 

3. Wood Siding: $7 to $12 per square foot

Like a rustic look? Wood is the way to go. A full upgrade can cost somewhere between  $18,000–$30,000 for an average sized home. You should know that wood does require a bit more maintenance than other siding options, but it certainly gives your home a one-of-a-kind look if you like a woodsy feel.

4. Stucco Remediation: $8 to $15 per square foot

Stucco is a great siding option for your home... With one caveat.

It needs to be properly installed. 

When it is, the result is a sleek, mediterranean look that’s durable and energy-efficient. A full stucco job can cost $20,000–$40,000 but is well worth the investment for the right homeowner.
