The exterior of your home performs two roles. Functionally, it protects your home from the elements, including heat, cold, rain, snow, hail and other things. Aesthetically, it plays a big role in just how your home looks to you and others as it sits on the street next to other homes.
That’s why for many people, the decision to upgrade their home’s siding is never a small investment. But even the choice of siding can have an effect on your budget. While vinyl is often attractive simply because it’s the cheapest, other materials, like Hardie siding, may ultimately provide more value for money in the long term. But how do you determine the Hardie siding cost for your home?

Location Matters

Different regional climates may require a different type of Hardie siding. On top of that, however, your postal code, especially if it indicates that you live in a high-income area, may have an effect on your Hardie board siding cost as well.
Your proximity—or not—to a production facility can also have an impact on your cost, as homes located in cities where Hardie board is manufactured enjoy big discounts on transport and logistics which usually have an overall effect on cost.

Your Choice of Contractor

Not all siding contractors are alike. Even when contractors are using identical materials to do a job, the way they do that job, the quality, time and effort they put in, or the staff they use can make big differences in the final installation cost. Even if you’ve done your due diligence, and all your possible contractor choices are verified, trustworthy, and legitimate, there will still be some variance in how much they charge.
Ultimately, especially with trusted professionals, you get what you pay for. A quality, cheaper installation may get the job done, but more expensive contractors justify the cost with better work that often goes above and beyond to give you lasting, premium results. How much you invest now, at the installation stage, will affect how much this siding can take care of itself over the years.

The House Is The Final Factor

It should be no real surprise that the one factor that will play the biggest role in the Hardie board siding cost of a job is the scope of the job itself. A person living in a small bungalow for retirement has a much smaller size and space to deal with, and that smaller scope will be priced accordingly.
And of course, if you live in a large, sprawling split-level home with generous ceilings, and many rooms on each floor, that extra real estate means a much bigger home. And that bigger home will require more work to install the siding, and making sure that every side of the home gets equal treatment and protection.
