Siding acts as your home’s first line of defense — shielding it from wind, rain, pests, and extreme temperatures. It also plays a big role in insulation and energy efficiency.
The best option of siding for your house depends on several factors, such as your budget, desired aesthetics, climate, and maintenance preferences. Here are some popular options to consider:
- Vinyl siding: Affordable, easy to maintain, and comes in a variety of colors and styles.
- Fiber cement siding: More durable than vinyl, offers a realistic wood look, and is fire-resistant. However, it’s more expensive than vinyl.
- Wood siding: Classic beauty, but requires more maintenance than other options.
- Aluminium siding: Very durable and low-maintenance, but can be noisy and dent easily.
Some other siding types include fibre cement, brick, hardie board, stone, and stucco. Read more about types of home siding, their costs, pros and cons and durability.
The decision to repair or replace your siding depends on several factors:
- Extent of damage: Minor cosmetic issues like cracks or chipped paint might be repairable. For extensive rot, warping, or structural damage, replacement is likely necessary.
- Age of siding: Older siding materials (15+ years old) may be nearing the end of their lifespan and might be better to replace altogether.
- Desired outcome: Are you prioritizing a quick fix or a long-term solution? Repairs may be faster but replacements may last longer and improve energy efficiency.
- Budget: Repairs are generally cheaper upfront than full replacements. However, extensive repairs may not be much less expensive than replacing the siding, and a full replacement offers a longer lifespan.
- Replacement cost: The average cost for vinyl siding installation on a 2,500 sq ft. home can range from $13,325 to $24,300. The cost for vinyl siding is usually around $6.40 per square foot.

While considering multiple siding contractors may feel time-consuming, it could save you hundreds (or thousands) of dollars off your home improvement project.

Look for signs like cracking, fading, water stains, or rising energy bills. If your siding is over 20 years old, it might be time to consider an upgrade.
In most cities, a permit is required for full siding replacement — especially if the project includes insulation or structural work. Your contractor will usually handle this for you.
Yes — many local siding professionals offer both full and partial siding services, making it easy to fix small issues before they become major problems.
Vinyl works well in most climates, while fiber cement is ideal for high-moisture regions. A local contractor can help match siding types to your home’s needs and environment.
