Cost to Install Different Siding Materials

The most popular siding materials in Lancaster, PA are vinyl siding, fiber cement, and composite siding. When installed by an expert contractor, all three can provide you decades of reliable performance and gorgeous curb appeal. Let’s explore the different materials and the average cost to install them:

Premium Vinyl Siding

There is a big difference between the heaviest gauge luxury siding we install from brands like Provia, Mastic, and CertainTeed and the lesser-quality builder grade vinyl. Vinyl is a practical and budget-friendly option and is the most common siding material all across the country.

 

Pros:

  • Vinyl is the Least Expensive Material
  • Comes in a Wider Variety of Colors than Ever
  • 25 to 30 Year Fade Warranty on Dark Colors
  • Lifetime warranty on the product
  • Easy to Clean
  • Longest lasting siding

 

Cons:

  • Has the Vinyl Look Which Some Homeowners Don’t Like
  • Can Be Cut, Chipped or Damaged

The most cost-effective siding option

 

Fiber Cement

Fiber cement is a luxury siding material with a distinct wood look. A popular option to upgrade both vinyl siding and to replace wood siding, this material does come at a higher price point than vinyl. James Hardie is the big name brand behind this luxury siding material that you may have heard of.

Pros:

  • Stands Out Compared to Vinyl
  • Beautiful and Bright Color Options
  • Has a 15-Year Warranty on Paint

I would give Choice 10 stars if I could. The folks at Choice Home Remodeling have replaced all 31 of the windows in our house over the past year. They are incredibly professional and deliver an outstanding final product. The replacement windows look better than the originals and I get compliments on them all the time! The inside temperature of the inside glass on a 55 degree day has improved by 8 degrees! I am looking forward to seeing what the differential is once the weather turns cold. Their pricing is fair and the quality is second to none. I recommend them 1000%.
We absolutely love the new door we just had installed from Choice! We had such a great experience with Choice from start to finish. Tim was great and helped us pick out the perfect door for our home and didn't try to sell us the most expensive model and was honest, not pushy. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly and professional and the work was top notch.
I bought my windows from them. Everyone one was so nice and professional. Christie was very helpful. Thank you, will use again for other projects
So pleased with our bathroom renovation by Choice Home Remodeling! Alyssa Hayes did an excellent job in designing a functional and attractive way to best utilize our small space. Our kids are thrilled to have their own sinks! Alyssa patiently guided us through the design choices, made recommendations and outlined the construction process. The construction phrase was very timely, and Ken Brown was available for any questions and kept us informed of the schedule and what part of the project was happening when. I was very impressed that the job was finished very close to the scheduled completion date. The Choice staff and subcontractors were all respectful of our space and did a thorough job.
