The Cost Of Vinyl Siding

If you are looking to have new vinyl siding installed on your home

, your biggest fear might be what the cost is going to be. There is no doubt about it, replacing the siding is going to be one of the most expensive things you do for your home. This is what makes some people just skip out on the project all together but that may not be something that you want to do.

The benefits that you receive from having new siding far outweighs the initial cost involved. You really have to look at it as an investment. This is the only way to really understand what it is that you will be getting from the whole thing. Once the new siding is on, you won't have to do it again, pending you will keep up on maintenance. Even if you want to change the color later on, there are special paints for that. You will also raise the resell value of your home. This in itself is one of the main reasons many people go this route.

Now, how much is it going to cost? If you are looking at having a company come in to do the work for you, it is going to cost a lot of money. The actual price will depend on the square footage of the area that needs covered, how many cuts (around windows) need to be made and how much the company charges for their labor. You will want to make sure that you are getting price quotes from several different companies. Before you do that however, you might want to do a little research.

On your own, you will want to calculate the square footage of your home. Then, find the siding that you want and look to see what its cost is per square foot. Multiply the cost per square foot with your homes total square footage. This will give you the cost of the siding. You can use this information when you are shopping around for a company to do the work for you. Many people find that the installation of their vinyl siding is anywhere from ten to twenty thousand dollars. Again, it all depends on the size of the home, the exact vinyl selection and the price of labor for the company selected.

Instead of hiring a company to do it for you, you could always do the installation yourself and save a ton of money. In fact, you will save a few thousand dollars by taking a few days or weeks to do the job yourself. Have a friend help out and the project will be done in no time at all. This way, all you are paying for is the price of the materials and maybe a few dollars to throw at your friend.
