How To Prepare a Budget for Your Siding Project

Larry Walty II • October 6, 2021

Crafting a meticulous budget is essential to keeping your siding replacement project within budget. What are the things you should consider when planning the budget for your siding project? 

Larry Walty Roofing, your trusted  siding replacement  and roof repair contractor, lists them below: 

The Size of Your Home 

The larger your home, the more siding material you need, and the higher the material and labor costs of your siding project. 

The Type of Siding Material 

No matter how durable your siding is, it won’t last long it isn’t suited to your local climate. Remember: there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach in home improvement projects, and siding replacement projects are no exception. 

Different Siding Options for Every Budget 

  • Budget-friendly options (vinyl and metal siding)  – Vinyl is the most affordable option on the market. It has minimal maintenance needs, excellent resistance to mold and mildew, and comes in a wide variety of colors. Metal siding is also a great choice if you’re looking for durable siding. Like vinyl siding, metal siding is resistant to common siding issues such as rot and insect damage and has lower maintenance needs than other types of siding. 
  • Mid-range Options (wood and fiber cement siding)  – Wood siding can give your exterior a sophisticated elegance. However, to preserve its aesthetic appeal, you need to maintain it routinely. If you want a low-maintenance alternative to wood siding, you should consider installing fiber cement siding, which is resistant to rot and termite damage. 

Important note: keep in mind that while preparing a budget, you shouldn’t get too preoccupied with the costs. Focus instead on how you can maximize your returns on investment (ROIs). For tips on maximizing your ROIs, consult one of your local residential and  commercial roofing contractors.
