Not national averages — our real local per-square-foot pricing, computed for three example homes. The same rates our estimate machine uses on your actual house.
Siding prices by the square foot of wall — which means your home’s perimeter and height matter more than its floor plan. A two-story home has nearly double the wall of a same-footprint ranch. Gables, openings, and trim details adjust from there. That’s why per-project averages you read online are nearly useless: two “2,000 square foot homes” can have wildly different walls.
Wall area first, then material tier: our Cedar Knolls flagship vinyl and Polar Wall Plus insulated line price differently for different jobs — insulated panels cost more per square but add wall R-value that pays back in heating country. Then condition: rotten sheathing or dead housewrap discovered at tear-off gets fixed, not skipped, because new siding over bad walls is money burned. Our quotes assume standard single-layer removal and installation.
The moisture barrier, flashing details, and trim work behind the panels are where siding jobs succeed or rot. Every Axis replacement is the whole wall system — which is why we’d rather explain a real price than win with a low one that skips the layers that keep Wisconsin water out of your walls.
Exterior replacements dominate the top of the remodeling value tables, and siding is the most visible of them all — it’s the first thing every buyer, appraiser, and drive-by neighbor judges. 2025 cost-to-value research for our region shows exterior projects like siding returning dramatically more of their cost at resale than interior remodels, which typically give back half or less. Add a transferable warranty like Cedar Knolls and Polar Wall carry, and the next owner inherits the coverage — a real line item when the house lists.
The estimate machine measures your home’s actual perimeter from your address, asks how many stories, and prices your walls against these same rates — free, no phone number required to see your range. The free inspection then firms it up in writing.
These aren't national averages — they're computed from the same local pricing we quote from, for three example Northeast Wisconsin homes.
| Example home | Siding replacement | With financing* |
|---|---|---|
| Modest ranch≈1,300 sq ft footprint, one story | $7,350 – $11,625 | as low as $65–$100/mo |
| Typical two-story≈1,900 sq ft footprint, two stories | $17,775 – $28,125 | as low as $155–$240/mo |
| Large two-story≈2,600 sq ft footprint, two stories | $20,775 – $32,900 | as low as $180–$285/mo |
All services assume standard single-layer removal and installation. We work hard to get these close — but they're estimates, not promises. Your exact price is firm, in writing, after your free inspection. *Estimated payment with approved credit through our financing partner; terms and rates subject to credit approval. Not an offer of credit.
Drafty walls, thin insulation, or high heating bills point to Polar Wall Plus (the foam core works every month the furnace runs). A tighter, newer home usually points to Cedar Knolls at a lower price point. We quote both side by side and let the numbers argue.
We don’t recommend it and don’t quote it: it hides the wall condition, telegraphs old problems through new panels, and voids some manufacturer terms. Standard single-layer removal is built into our estimates.
Exterior projects consistently rank among the strongest cost-to-value remodels in national surveys — and beyond the math, siding is the first thing every buyer and appraiser sees. A firm written quote makes the decision math easy.
Full siding replacement — vinyl, insulated vinyl, and fiber cement — wind-rated for Northeast Wisconsin homes, with free inspections and financing.
Back to the hub →One vinyl line earned the flagship spot on our walls — heavy-gauge panels, real woodgrain, and color engineered to survive the Wisconsin sun-snow cycle.
Read more →The upgrade pick for Wisconsin winters — heavy .046" panels bonded to insulating foam that cuts energy loss through the one surface your furnace fights all season: your walls.
Read more →We install both, so nobody here needs to win an argument. Cost, cold, maintenance, and impact — how the two actually compare on a Northeast Wisconsin wall.
Read more →Damaging wind is the most common severe weather on our region’s record — and siding is what it takes first. Why panels let go, what it says about the rest of the wall, and your next move.
Read more →Foam-backed siding costs more per square foot and claims a lot. Here’s what it genuinely does in a heating-dominated climate, who it pays back, and who should save the money.
Read more →Siding rarely fails all at once — it fades, loosens, and leaks by degrees while the wall behind it keeps score. The honest signs, the hidden ones, and when repair stops being the answer.
