Cost to Install Different Siding Materials

The most popular siding materials in Lancaster, PA are vinyl siding, fiber cement, and composite siding. When installed by an expert contractor, all three can provide you decades of reliable performance and gorgeous curb appeal. Let’s explore the different materials and the average cost to install them:

Premium Vinyl Siding

There is a big difference between the heaviest gauge luxury siding we install from brands like Provia, Mastic, and CertainTeed and the lesser-quality builder grade vinyl. Vinyl is a practical and budget-friendly option and is the most common siding material all across the country.

 

Pros:

  • Vinyl is the Least Expensive Material
  • Comes in a Wider Variety of Colors than Ever
  • 25 to 30 Year Fade Warranty on Dark Colors
  • Lifetime warranty on the product
  • Easy to Clean
  • Longest lasting siding

 

Cons:

  • Has the Vinyl Look Which Some Homeowners Don’t Like
  • Can Be Cut, Chipped or Damaged

The most cost-effective siding option

 

Fiber Cement

Fiber cement is a luxury siding material with a distinct wood look. A popular option to upgrade both vinyl siding and to replace wood siding, this material does come at a higher price point than vinyl. James Hardie is the big name brand behind this luxury siding material that you may have heard of.

Pros:

  • Stands Out Compared to Vinyl
  • Beautiful and Bright Color Options
  • Has a 15-Year Warranty on Paint
  • Can Replicate the Look of Wood Siding

Excellent company, outstanding service. We had new windows installed last year and recently 2 storm doors. All are great products and we are very satisfied. The customer service we received was always prompt and reliable. Thank you Choice!
Great work!! Friendly, professional and honest. I would recommend and will use again.
Response from the owner:Thank you Paul! These March winds should be no match for your new storm door. We look forward to working with you in the future.
This was our third time using Choice Windows. Total, they did 24 windows, one Bilco door and a lot of custom fitting. Each time the jobsite was clean, the men are amazing and when they are done, you barely know they were there. Very satisfied customer.
Response from the owner:Mike, thank you for the five star review and continuing work with us. Our installers take pride in their jobsites, only leaving behind properly installed products, not a mess.
Tim and his crew were very professional. The entire process was seemless. I would highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Mark, thank you for your five star review. We are happy to hear your experience with us was positive and professional. We appreciate your recommendations!
