So, how much does vinyl siding installation cost?
The following a some guidelines when considering
vinyl siding prices.
Vinyl siding contractors usually measure by squares, 1 square = 100 square ft.
Vinyl siding including installation on average costs about $250-$300 per square.
For the average 2,000
ft. home that equates to about $5000 to $6000. Premium siding costs $400 to $600 for each square and more, which increases
the price to $8000 to $12000 for that same 2000 sq.ft. home.
Some estimates might include installing soffit
or fascia and even window channel. If they don't this will increase cost by $3 to even $10 for each linear foot. Some
homeowners may choose to install new windows or gutters during this same time. Windows can add many thousands to your
total cost, $200-$800 for each window is common. Gutters are about $4 - $10 for each linear foot.
Compare
that to painting your house.
Most houses will need repainted in 5-10 yrs. Live in your house 20 years and
that’s about 2 to 4 times during that time that you will need to re-paint. If you have a 2500 sq.ft. home,
and the average painting cost of $5000, for each time you paint, that comes to about $10,000 to $20,000 for painting costs
during those twenty years. Now compare that to the average cost of $5000 to $6000 for your vinyl siding.
Some other helpful things to consider when you want to hire a vinyl siding contractor are:
#1. Find
out about the contractors' work experience, especially with vinyl siding trim. The trim around windows, doors, and overhangs,
etc. will make all the difference –trim work is labor intensive, and more critical to the overall appearance of your
home. You also need to determine if the contractors are familiar with your roof type.
#2. If you have
issues with rot, etc., make sure that contractors discuss it with you. If other unexpected issues arise during the inspection,
this should be communicated immediately, and the contractors should state how the problem will be addressed.
#3 It is important that contractors incorporate the removal of the old siding. Not only should it be included in the
bid, but they should also tell you their process, and have a plan for dispensing with it. In fact, they should also tell you
where they plan to store the materials and trash during the job.
#4 . Inquire about the application
of the moisture barrier, the siding, flashing, the nail penetration, and so on. What kind of caulking will they use? If appropriate,
depending on the siding type you've decided on, ask about the paint and finish as well. Lastly, be sure to ask about the application
of the all-important trim.
#5 When installing your vinyl siding, negotiate 3 to 5
years for your workmanship warrantee. At least try to make sure your contract guarantee is for 1 year, which will
give you time to find any problems about the siding that may show up.
#6 Will the contractor
also take care of any vinyl siding repair that may arise?
