Price guide
Vinyl Siding Cost for Anniston & Oxford Homes
Published price ranges, what moves the number, and the local permit fee. No made-up local prices: where a figure is national, it says so.
The short answer
HomeGuide puts vinyl siding at $4 to $12 per square foot installed, or $8,400 to $25,200 for an average house, with a national average of about $16,800.1 Labor is roughly half of the total.1 We couldn't find a published survey of siding prices for Calhoun County, so these are national numbers. A written estimate from someone who has measured your walls is the only real price.
By house size
| House size | Approx. wall area sided | Typical total |
|---|---|---|
| 1,200 sq ft | 1,000 sq ft | $4,000 – $12,000 |
| 1,500 sq ft | 1,200 sq ft | $4,800 – $14,400 |
| 1,800 sq ft | 1,500 sq ft | $6,000 – $18,000 |
| 2,000 sq ft | 1,700 sq ft | $6,800 – $20,400 |

What pushes the price up or down
- Grade of vinyl. Thicker premium panels can cost up to twice as much as basic builder's grade, and HomeGuide says they stand up better to extreme temperatures and are less likely to sag or fade.1
- Style. Insulated vinyl (foam backed) runs $6 to $12 per square foot; vertical panels $4 to $9; vinyl made to look like brick $5 to $11.1
- Taking off the old layer. Removal adds about $0.70 to $2.00 per square foot in HomeGuide's figures.2
- Size and complexity. More doors, windows and other openings to work around add labor time.2
Just a few damaged panels?
Repairs are priced differently. HomeGuide lists vinyl repair at $2 to $4 per square foot, single replacement panels at $8 to $60 each, and small hole patches at $50 to $100.3 The storm damage page covers insurance.
