The Cost of Siding

When it comes to home improvement projects, few can match the transformative power of siding installation. Elevating the aesthetic appeal and enhancing the overall value of your property, this investment is a true game-changer. But the burning question on every homeowner’s mind is: how much does siding installation cost?

In the vibrant city of Atlanta, the average cost of siding installation can vary, depending on a multitude of factors. From the type of siding material to the size of your home, each project is unique and deserves a tailored approach.

On average, the cost of siding installation ranges from $35,200 – $64,800. This estimate is based on an average-sized, two-story home with 20 total squares of siding.

With the experts at Nelson Exteriors, you’ll get a reliable estimate tailored to your home. We’ll walk you through the factors that impact pricing, so you can make an informed decision.

How is Siding Measured?

Siding is typically measured in square feet or square meters. The measurement is calculated by multiplying the length of the wall by the height of the wall, excluding any openings like windows or doors. This gives the total square footage of siding required to cover the wall. Siding is usually sold in bundles that cover a certain square footage, so knowing the total square footage needed helps determine how many bundles to purchase.

A square of siding refers to the standard unit of measurement used in the construction industry to quantify the amount of siding material required for a project. One square of siding typically covers an area of 100 square feet. It’s also important to note that the cost of siding can differ for first-floor versus second-floor installation. On average, second-floor siding installation can cost 20-30% more per square foot compared to first-floor siding. The exact difference will depend on the specific project details and the siding material being used.

How Can I Measure My Home for Siding?

When it comes to home siding, precision is key. The perfect fit can transform the entire look and feel of your house, so it’s crucial to get those measurements just right. You’ll need professional measurements for installation, but for those persistent DIY’ers, here’s a guide to estimate the amount of siding you’ll need.

Measuring Rectangular Walls

Measuring Rectangular Walls

To estimate the square footage of a rectangular wall:

1. Measure the height and width of the wall.
2. Multiply the height and width to get the total square footage.
3. If there are large obstructions like a garage door, measure their square footage and subtract it from the total.

Measuring Triangular Walls

Measuring Triangular Walls

The initial process for triangular measurements is the same as rectangular measurements, start with obtaining the height at the peak of the triangle and measuring the width. To calculate the square footage, multiply the height and width, then divide by two.

Measuring Unique Shapes

Measuring Unique Shapes

When encountering wall surfaces with different shapes, break them down into rectangles and triangles. If this can’t be done, a rough estimate can be obtained by multiplying the height and width. Alternatively, a Google search can provide a specific formula for calculating the square footage of that particular shape.
