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

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.

Very nice showroom and great staff. Doors, windows, roofing, gutters, railings, kitchen and remodeling. Pretty much a one stop shop.

Last year we renovated most of our home and replaced 15 windows, 4 doors, added 5 new windows, 1 large quad French door unit and 2 new screen doors. The primary reason we purchased everything from Choice was because of the wonderful, patient, responsive customer service from Christie Flory over a period of many months of going back and forth as we narrowed down our choices. We had many questions and concerns and she cheerfully helped us make good choices and cared about the details. The showroom is also a huge help, and the knowledge of the staff was very nice. We tried the competition and gave them a chance, but we ultimately came back to Choice because Christie was FAR more helpful and responsive when we had questions. If you have any need for new windows or doors, don't shop around, it's not worth it...just go here and start asking questions, and you'll quickly realize that the people at Choice just make everything easier. I highly recommend this place!

Had a double dining room window replaced. Did have to wait five months for it to come in and get installed. But it was worth the wait… Very well pleased! Dominic and Brandon were the installers and they were very professional and informative. Would definitely recommend choice and these two young installers! Thank you!
