What actually drives the price
Square footage of wall area and number of stories
Material choice, from vinyl on the affordable end to fiber cement and engineered wood
Tear-off of old siding versus an overlay install
Sheathing or trim repairs found once panels come off
Number of windows, doors, and corners that need new trim and flashing
Insulation upgrades behind the siding
Tear-off vs. overlay
Tear-off costs more up front because of labor and disposal, but it lets us see and fix what is behind the old siding. Overlay is faster and cheaper when the existing wall system is sound. We will tell you which one your house qualifies for, not just sell you the more expensive option.
Why we do not list a flat per-square-foot price
Two houses on the same Durham street can be thousands apart based on stories, corners, and what we find under the old panels. A real number after a real walk-through is more useful than a guess that turns into a surprise. Final pricing depends on an inspection.
