Vinyl siding is one of the most budget-friendly material choices for siding a home, rivaled only by aluminum. It is also easier to install than most other siding choices, lasts longer than many other options, and tends to hold its color and appearance better than many other materials.
A box of vinyl siding costs around $500, on average, and contains enough material to cover 200 square feet.
Since vinyl siding is priced by square foot, you can estimate how much you'll need by measuring the sides of your house. You can get a decent estimate by multiplying the length of each side by the width and then adding those figures together. To get a bit more specific, you can then multiply the length of each window and door by their width, then subtract those numbers from the first figures you calculated to account for the areas on your house where there won't be any siding.
Maintaining vinyl siding is fairly straightforward, as it’s a durable and resilient material that doesn’t often chip or attract pests. You should clean it annually; pressure washing costs between $170 and $310. You can hire a professional vinyl siding cleaner to keep it in tip-top shape.
