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

Choice is our #1 go to for doors and windows. They helped us through a major kitchen remodel as well as adding new front entry/screen doors.Their attention to detail and responsiveness are above and beyond any other company we've ever worked with.Thank you, Choice and Team.

Choice Home Remodeling installed a new Larson storm door and my wife and I are pleased with the results! Rob, our installer, did a professional and thorough job to replace our old door which had seen better days. The contrast in entering and leaving our home is noticeable and the door was exactly what we ordered! Rob also replaced the locks on our regular front door. We will certainly contact CHR for any future needs if warranted.

Choice worked with us and the financing we had available. Our installer was very polite and professional. The job was done quickly and the right way! The new window looks great!

We just had 4 windows replaced and Jay the installer did an A+ job. I’ve had numerous jobs done by Choice and they’ve always been top notch with kind and courteous people from start to finish.
