Siding replacement costs in Union County typically range from $8,000 to $20,000 for an average home, depending on several factors. Here's a breakdown of what influences the cost:

• Material Choice: Vinyl siding ($7-$12 per sq ft installed) is most economical, while fiber cement ($10-$15 per sq ft) and cedar ($14-$28 per sq ft) are premium options
• Home Size: Total square footage significantly impacts overall cost
• Existing Siding Removal: Removal and disposal of old siding adds $1-$3 per sq ft
• Home Configuration: Complex designs with multiple stories, dormers, and trim details increase labor costs
• Insulation: Adding insulation beneath new siding (highly recommended) adds $1-$4 per sq ft
