A siding replacement runs $4,384–$19,895 nationally, typically around $8,665. Pick your metro below for local 2026 pricing backed by live BLS labor data.
Across the 152 metros tracked, labor averages about 55% of a siding replacement budget and materials about 45%. When you review a bid, judge its labor line against your metro's trade wages — the biggest source of overpricing we see — not a national average.
Every figure on this page is a blend of three independent cost sources — construction cost data (70%), homeowner-reported project spend (15%), and live U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics trade wages (15%) — localized to each metro with a regional cost factor and a current-year escalation index. Ranges refresh as the underlying wage and materials data moves, which is why they're dated 2026 rather than recycled from older surveys.
