Residing a house, or replacing its exterior cladding, involves several key factors that influence the final price. These include the house’s size, the chosen material (vinyl, fiber cement, brick, etc.), the complexity of the project (e.g., intricate architectural details), and labor costs, which can vary geographically. For instance, a simple ranch-style home using vinyl siding will typically be less expensive than a multi-story Victorian home clad in cedar shingles.
Protecting a home’s structure from the elements is a primary function of exterior cladding. A well-maintained exterior increases curb appeal, potentially boosting property value. Historically, materials like wood, brick, and stone provided this protection. Modern options offer enhanced durability, energy efficiency, and a wider range of aesthetic choices. This investment contributes to long-term cost savings through reduced maintenance and improved insulation.
