Homeowners know how daunting a large home renovation project can be. Planning the project can help break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces. Siding is an important part of your home’s overall health, as well as the main component in the exterior design. So, how much should you plan to spend on new siding in the Baltimore area?
Average Cost of a New Siding in Baltimore
The average cost to install new siding in Baltimore is between $7,000 to $30,000 depending on a variety of factors, including house size and material costs. You can generally expect to pay between $300 and $1,350 per square (unit of measurement that equals 100 square feet) to install siding in Baltimore. The average cost of vinyl siding installation is $15,000.
Home Size Impacts the Cost of New Siding Installation
The size of your home will be one of the most important factors in determining the cost of your new siding installation in Baltimore. You will get a precise siding measurement when you schedule an estimate from Home Source Roofing. In the meantime, you can get a rough idea of how much siding you’ll need to check where you might fall in the following range. Measure the length and height of each side of your home where siding needs to be installed. Multiply these numbers together. Once you’ve done this for each side of the home, add all of the measurements together to get the approximate square footage. You’ll then divide this number by 100 to get the squares of siding needed.

Siding Material Affects Installation Cost
The vast price difference is greatly affected by the type of material you want your siding made out of. At Home Source Roofing, here are the types of siding we offer:
Vinyl Siding
[Vinyl siding is going to be your most cost-effective option when it comes to siding. It comes in a vast variety of colors and is the easiest choice if you are going to be trying to do a DIY project.
Wood Siding
Wood siding is another option when it comes to siding. There are fewer color options, but it is a sturdier siding than vinyl.
Fiber Cement Siding
This type of siding material is another type of composite material but is cement-based. This a very durable material that can be shaped and formed to look like many other types of siding, like slate or even sometimes metal. This will be a siding option that can cost a pretty penny.
Hardie Board Siding
Hardie Board is basically the name brand for fiber cement siding. This is a really great product that was a trailblazer in the industry when it first appeared on the scene. Contact us at Designer Roofing & Restoration for more information!
LP Smartside
Last in our list is an engineered wood product called LP Smartside. This product is where the durability of a composite meets the variety of wood.
Is This a New Installation or Replacement?
If your siding is being installed on a brand new construction home you can expect that it will cost less than siding that is being installed on an existing home and replacing old siding. This is because siding replacements have additional costs associated with removing and disposing of old materials. Additionally, if there is damage to the wall behind the old siding, that damage will need to be repaired before the new siding can be installed.
