How Much Does Siding Cost?
Siding costs the exterior wall area times your price per square foot for the material. Vinyl siding is the most economical, fiber cement (like HardiePlank) is mid-range and very durable, and wood or engineered wood costs more. To estimate the wall area, multiply the perimeter by the height and subtract large openings like doors and windows. The calculator uses your price per square foot, so enter a local rate for your material.
How Do You Measure Wall Area for Siding?
To measure wall area for siding, find the area of each exterior wall (width times height) and add them, then subtract the area of doors and large windows. Gables add triangular sections (base times height divided by two). Add about 10 percent waste for cuts and trim. The calculator works from your wall dimensions; deducting major openings keeps the siding estimate from running high.
