What is the average cost of new windows and siding?
I own a split-foyer style home, about 1900 sq ft with a two-car garage. It has twelve windows and siding on the top floor. I'd like to install new triple-paned windows and new siding with Tyvek wrap underneath. Companies and independent contractors have given me widely varying estimates for the work. Does anyone have a general idea of the cost? I know materials affect the cost but just assume I'm using mid-range products. Thanks for your help.
I plan on buying vinyl windows and vinyl siding. I'm replacing wood-framed single-pane windows and aluminum siding.
Answer: New windows run in the range of $80 (really cheap self installed) up to about $200, look for a price around $125- $175 each installed. Vinyl siding is going to depend on the quality as well. Thinner is cheapest, thicker is more. It is sold by the square (100 square feet) and by the mil (thickness.) You should be looking at 40 or 60 mil siding as a minimum. The cost here is about $70 - $100 per square depending on style and thickness.
As for the triple pane glass it is really a waste of money, 1" double pane is usually best. As to the tyvek you only need it if you have nothing for siding already IE bare walls (shakes, clapboards, T - 111 etc. don't need it) \
The cost to install siding will vary by how much work needs to be done to put it on. Your cost for the siding should be in $7,000 - $9,000 range depending on where you are it may be more or a little less. Generally it should be about $200 -$300 per 100 square feet plus trim and materials.
