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
Can Replicate the Look of Wood Siding

Cons:

Needs to Be Repainted Periodically
Can Deteriorate If Paint Isn’t Maintained
Can Crack and Break

Can be as much as twice the price of vinyl siding

Everlast Composite Siding

This siding option is crafted from a combination of real wood and vinyl materials. One of our most highly-recommended products, Everlast Composite siding has a distinct look but also boasts convenient practical benefits.

Pros:

Finish Extends the Whole Way through the Material for Maximum Color and Strength
Composite Siding Has a Lifetime Warranty
Replicates Wood Much Like Fiber Cement
Impervious to the Elements

Cons:

Most Expensive Siding Material to Install

Can be as much as twice the price of vinyl siding

Excellent

Choice Windows, Doors & More, Inc.

My wife and I recently had several windows replaced by Choice Home Remodeling, and we couldn't be happier with the results! The team was incredibly quick, skilled, and very detail-oriented. They also kept everything remarkably neat and tidy.

We're so pleased with their work that we're already looking forward to potentially working with them on future home improvement projects.

Response from the owner:Thank you Charles, we look forward to working with you in the future!

Choice recently installed 13 new windows and shutters at my house. Very happy with the service and communication during every step of the project (i.e., Sales, planning, installation, and post-install inspections and payment). They installed my new roof a couple years ago and I was equally as happy. I have referred Choice to family and friends in Lancaster, Chester, and Delaware counties. Everyone at Choice is very friendly and appreciate their work; can’t go wrong with Choice.

Response from the owner:Thank you Joe for your kind review, referrals, and continued partnership with Choice. We are proud to have provided the same quality service now as we did a few years ago.

This was our first experience(and definitely NOT our last!) w/Choice and we found them to be outstanding throughout the entire process. The office staff as well as the installers were courteous, efficient, knowledgeable and eager to answer any question that we asked. We were also impressed w/ the quality workmenship displayed by Ryan, Dominic(windows) and Doug(doors and trim).
WE give the entire staff at "Choice" our highest recommendation!

Hank & Pat Berardi

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We're overjoyed to hear that your first project with us was such a positive one. It means a lot to know that our team's professionalism and craftsmanship made an impression. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to Ryan, Dominic, and Doug. We truly appreciate your trust in us and look forward to working with you again!

My wife and I just had our front door replaced by Choice. The process of determining the door style, color, material, etc. was made simple and effective by Tim. His communication and follow up through the entire process was excellent. Install took only part of the day and couldn't have been handled any better. Our installer, Doug, was personable, hard working and clearly skilled in every aspect of removing our old door and installing the new one. We are thrilled with our new door and our experience with Choice. High Recommend!

Response from the owner:Thank you John for the review. We are happy to hear you had such a positive experience from start to finish!
