• Siding replacement cost$8,000 to $38,000per projectRe-siding a house costs $8,000 to $38,000 depending on size and material. A two-story house has more siding than a single-story house of the same floor area, not less, which is the opposite of how roofing works.
• Vinyl siding cost$500 to $1,300per squareVinyl siding costs $500 to $1,300 per square installed depending on grade. Panel thickness is what stops a wall looking wavy, and it is where the money is best spent.
• Fiber cement siding cost$1,000 to $2,200per squareFiber cement costs $1,000 to $2,200 per square installed, 40% to 60% above vinyl, and lasts roughly twice as long. Labor is most of the difference, not material.
• Exterior house painting cost$200 to $500per sq ftPainting a house exterior costs $2.00 to $5.00 per square foot of wall. A two-story house costs up to 50% more per foot, and the reason is staging rather than paint.
• Window replacement cost$450 to $2,500eachReplacing a window costs $450 to $1,200 installed for standard vinyl, averaging $750. A whole-house job of ten to fifteen windows runs $6,500 to $18,000.
• Entry door replacement cost$400 to $3,500eachReplacing a front door costs $400 to $3,500 installed depending on material. The labor is the same either way, so most of the spread is the door itself.
• Patio door replacement cost$1,200 to $6,500eachReplacing a sliding patio door costs $1,200 to $4,000 installed, typically $2,200. Most complaints about a sticking door are worn rollers, which is a $150 repair.
