Siding, a wall you can stop inspecting

It usually starts with a soft patch you can push a thumb into. The hard part is not the work — it is that every siding company sounds equally sure of itself, and you get one guess. We check licence and insurance before we introduce anyone, and we record the date we checked.

Siding in short

Siding contractors do four main jobs: full siding replacement, spot repair of damaged panels, re-siding over existing walls, and trim work such as soffit, fascia, and corner boards. Full replacement on a typical 2,000-square-foot home runs about $8,000 to $30,000 depending on material, with an average near $19,000, according to This Old House's 2026 cost guide.

Siding replacement costs roughly $8,000 to $30,000 for a typical 2,000-square-foot home, averaging about $19,000, per This Old House's 2026 pricing guide. Installed cost per square foot runs about $6 for vinyl, $7 for aluminum, $9 for fiber cement, $12 for cedar, and $14 to $20 for stone or brick veneer.

Why a pro gets to be on this list

Most sites sell your number to whoever pays the most for it. We check the siding companies we match you with, and we publish the date we checked so you can hold us to it.

Licence checked

We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.

Insurance confirmed

General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation — confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.

Reviews read, not counted

We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.

Re-checked, not set and forgotten

A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.

What people say after they’ve hired

Zero reviews. On purpose.

We’d rather show you nothing than show you someone else’s reviews.

Plenty of sites fill this space with reviews scraped from elsewhere, or written for them. We don’t. The first siding review on this page will come from a homeowner we matched, after their work was finished and paid for.

FAQ

Siding questions, answered

The questions homeowners ask us most about siding.

About $8,000 to $30,000 for a typical 2,000-square-foot home, averaging near $19,000, per This Old House's 2026 guide. Installed rates run from about $6 per square foot for vinyl to $20 for brick veneer.
This Old House gives 20 to 40 years for vinyl, aluminum and cedar, 50-plus for fiber cement, and 100-plus for masonry veneers. NAHB lists most siding materials as lasting the life of the house — plan around the shorter figures.
Some products allow it, but it means nobody inspects your sheathing or flashing. If your existing siding is failing because of water, going over the top is a genuinely bad idea.
Barely, on its own. EPA estimates air sealing plus insulating attics, crawlspace floors and accessible basements saves an average of 15% on heating and cooling. Adding insulative sheathing during a tear-off is the efficient way to combine the two.

The wrong siding hire costs more than the right one.

Siding hides everything behind it. Fitted over rot instead of after it, the wall keeps failing where nobody can see. Getting matched takes about a minute, costs nothing, and you can walk away from every quote you receive.
