How Much Does Siding Cost in Vienna, VA?
A typical full vinyl re-side on a Vienna-area home runs about $12,000–$28,000, and fiber cement about $22,000–$45,000. Wood, cedar, and metal are quoted on-site. Where your house falls depends on three things: the type of job, the material and grade, and the condition of the wall behind the old siding.
These are ballparks, not bids. The rest of this page shows what’s inside the number, so a written estimate from us or anyone else is easier to read.

By material
Price Ranges by Siding Material
| Material | Typical full re-side | Low end looks like | High end looks like |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | ≈ $12,000–$28,000 | Standard grade on a simple house | Insulated vinyl, more trim and corners |
| Fiber cement | ≈ $22,000–$45,000 | Lap profile on a simpler elevation | Mixed lap and shingle, ColorPlus, a two-story |
| Wood & cedar | Quoted on-site | Depends on the style, the sealing, and how much wall there is | |
| Metal | Quoted on-site | One accent elevation or the whole house; usually at the higher end | |
Vinyl is the most common re-side we price. Changing color or profile is usually included in the labor, so moving to a new look doesn’t add its own line. Choosing between the two most-quoted materials? See vinyl vs. fiber cement siding.

Where Your House Lands in the Range
Size matters, but shape matters nearly as much. A long single-story ranch has fewer corners, less trim, and easier access than a two-story colonial of similar square footage. Every dormer, bump-out, and gable adds cutting, flashing, and trim. The hidden wall is the wildcard in both cases, which is why every estimate carries a sheathing allowance.
Typical full re-side ranges from our current pricing. Wood, cedar, and metal aren’t charted because they’re quoted per house.
Pulls toward the low end
- Single-story ranch with long, simple walls
- Standard-grade material
- Sound sheathing under the old siding
- Few corners, dormers, or gables
Pulls toward the high end
- Two stories, with more corners and dormers
- Shake gables and extra trim work
- Insulated vinyl or premium profiles
- Soft or rotted sheathing that needs replacing
Line items
What Each Line on the Estimate Pays For
| Line item | What it covers | Why it varies |
|---|---|---|
| Tear-off & disposal | Removing the old siding, the dumpster, and hauling it away | How many layers and how much wall |
| House wrap & flashing | The water barrier and the flashing at every window and door | How many openings and how complex the trim is |
| Sheathing & trim allowance | Repairs to the wall once the old siding is off | Nobody knows the condition until it’s opened |
| Siding material | Panels or boards, with the grade, profile, and color named | Material and grade are the largest single driver |
| Trim, soffit & fascia | Corners, window surrounds, and roof-edge pieces | Corners, dormers, and gables add up |
| Permit | Town of Vienna permit for full tear-offs inside the Town; Fairfax County outside it | Shown as its own line so you can see the fee |
Two of these lines can’t be priced honestly over the phone. Nobody knows how much sheathing needs work until the old siding is off, and the trim count depends on how your house is actually built. That’s why we measure on-site and put an allowance in writing rather than giving a low verbal number that grows later.
For how that work runs day to day, see our siding installation process.
Anatomy
Reading a Written Estimate, Line by Line
Every written estimate from us follows the same structure. Use the numbered points to check ours, or to hold another contractor’s quote to the same standard. If a quote you’re holding is missing one of these lines, ask where that work went. It’s either left out of the scope or folded into a number you can’t see, and both are worth knowing before you sign.

Repair or replace
Repair Money vs. Re-Side Money
Spend on repair when…
The damage is limited to a storm-struck section, a few cracked panels, or one small leak. Repairs are priced like a service call, often hundreds to low thousands of dollars depending on the material and what’s behind it. See siding repair. Storm damage and active leaks go to the front of the schedule.
Put it toward a re-side when…
The siding is brittle across the house, too faded to match, or letting water behind several elevations, or you’re preparing to sell. Then repair money is better spent on a full replacement.
Our re-side prices assume a full tear-off to the sheathing, not new siding laid over the old. That’s what lets us find and fix a damaged wall before it’s covered again.
Additions are their own case. You can match the new wing to the existing siding, or upgrade the whole house at once so everything matches. We’ll price both. Not sure which camp you’re in? Read the signs you need new siding.
Methodology
How These Numbers Were Put Together
The ranges reflect typical full re-sides on Vienna-area homes, including tear-off, at our current pricing. They’re a planning guide, not a quote. Your written estimate replaces them once we’ve measured and looked at the wall.
Figures are rounded and describe a whole-house job. A single elevation, a partial repair, or an addition is priced on its own scope. Last updated: October 1, 2026.
Cost questions
Pricing Questions Before You Sign
Why did my neighbor pay less for the same siding?
Houses that look alike rarely price alike. A second story, extra corners, a shake gable, or soft sheathing under the old panels can move the total within the ranges above, even on the same street.
What if you find rot after the old siding comes off?
That's what the sheathing and trim allowance is for. We show you the damage, replace what's needed, and price anything beyond the allowance at the rate written on your estimate.
Can insurance cover part of a re-side?
Sometimes, for wind or hail damage, but not for age or wear. Photos and a written scope help your claim. Our storm damage and insurance guide walks through it.
How do I line up two estimates fairly?
Compare the same scope: the same elevations, the same product and grade, tear-off included, and a similar sheathing allowance. A lower total that leaves out a line isn't really cheaper.
