Siding replacement cost
What siding replacement costs in the Puget Sound
For a typical two-story home of 1,500–1,900 sq ft, a full siding replacement in the Seattle area usually lands between $20,000 and $45,000 with vinyl, $25,000 and $52,000 with LP SmartSide, and $30,000 and $60,000 with fiber cement. Cedar costs more because the material, the labor and the finishing are all more demanding. Our siding cost estimator applies the same math to your city, your home size and your material.
What drives the price
- Wall area, not floor area. A two-story home has roughly 1.3–1.4 sq ft of siding for every sq ft of living space once gables and bump-outs are counted.
- Material and profile. Lap siding is the most economical profile; board-and-batten, shingles and mixed materials add labor.
- Tear-off and hidden repairs. Removing old layers is expected. Rotted sheathing, sill plates or trim found behind it is priced separately after inspection.
- Trim, windows and details. More windows, corners and roof lines mean more flashing and trim work per square foot.
- Access and height. Steep lots, three-story walls and tight side yards need staging or lifts.
- Paint. Pre-finished products avoid a separate paint job; primed boards need field painting.
Why Puget Sound homes are different
Eight months of rain, mild temperatures and shade from tall conifers make moisture management the real job. A good replacement is a system: a proper weather-resistive barrier, flashed window and door openings, a rain-screen gap where it makes sense, and siding installed to the manufacturer's specification so the warranty stays valid. That is why we inspect before we quote — a range gets you planning, the inspection gets you a price you can rely on.

Good questions
A better estimate starts with context.
These early answers help you use the range in the right way. More in our siding FAQ.
Why is this a range instead of a fixed quote?
A dependable quote needs a look at the home. Window count, wall height, existing layers, trim work, repairs, and access can all change the scope. The calculator helps you plan before that visit.
Does the range include old siding removal?
It assumes a typical replacement scope with removal and installation. Your final estimate will identify disposal, substrate repair, trim, paint, and any other items separately.
Can I compare more than one material?
Yes. Return to the calculator and select another material. The range updates immediately so you can see the budget impact of each choice.
Do you serve my city?
The calculator is built for Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Renton, Everett, Tacoma, and nearby Puget Sound communities. Send your ZIP code and the team will confirm coverage.
How long does a siding replacement take?
Most single-family homes take one to three weeks on site, depending on size, material and the repairs found after tear-off. Material lead times and weather can add time before the start date.
Which siding is best for the Seattle climate?
Fiber cement and LP SmartSide are the most common choices for long-term durability in our wet climate; vinyl wins on upfront cost and upkeep, and cedar on natural character. Installation details matter as much as the material — see the materials comparison.
