THE MATH
Siding repair formula
Total cost = area × (material + labor)Siding repair is priced per square foot and includes the material (replacement panels) plus labor: removing damaged panels, patching and finishing.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
A 100 sq ft repair
100 sq ft × ($4/sq ft material + $6/sq ft labor) = $1,000.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which material?
Vinyl is budget and easy to patch; wood repairs cleanly but needs maintenance; fiber cement is durable and fire-resistant but pricier. Match the existing siding.
Repair or replace?
Spot repairs make sense when under 20-30% of the surface is damaged. Beyond that, full replacement is more cost-effective.
How long does it take?
A 100-200 sq ft repair takes 1-2 days depending on access and material.
