What Homeowners Pay
Planning a siding replacement in Blaine, MN? Get a clear, honest look at what it costs by material, so you can budget with confidence before you ever schedule an estimate.
Siding costs can vary a lot depending on where you look, and it’s easy to end up with numbers that don’t really apply to your home. Before you get into the pricing breakdown below, here’s where ours comes from.
These aren’t national averages pulled from a generic cost guide. They reflect the material and installation pricing Wright at Home Roofing & Exteriors sees firsthand on siding projects across Blaine and the North Metro.
We’ve been a family-owned and operated business since 2005, and as a James Hardie Preferred Contractor, we work with these materials every day, so we understand how they’re priced, how they install, and how they hold up in Minnesota weather.
Not all estimates are apples to apples. When we quote your project, we’ll walk you through what’s driving your specific number instead of just handing you a total.
Here’s how the most common Minnesota siding materials compare on cost, upkeep, and hail performance.
Compare installed siding costs, maintenance requirements, and hail resistance for a 2,200 sq. ft. home to find the right exterior siding for your property and budget.
| Siding Material | Installed Price / Sq. Ft. | Estimated Total Cost | Maintenance | Hail Resistance | Performance Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl Siding | $8.00–$11.00 | $17,600–$24,200 | Very Low | ★★★★★ | Handles small to moderate hail well. Larger hailstones can crack or damage panels. |
| James Hardie Fiber Cement | $11.00–$17.00 | $24,200–$37,400 | Low | ★★★★★ | Highly durable and resistant to many impacts. Very large hailstones can chip edges or damage the surface. |
| LP SmartSide Engineered Wood | $10.50–$16.50 | $23,100–$36,300 | Low | ★★★★★ | Engineered wood siding designed for durability and impact resistance. Actual performance depends on the product and hail conditions. |
| Steel Siding | $12.00–$20.00 | $26,400–$44,000 | Very Low | ★★★★★ | Won't crack like brittle siding, but large hail can dent lighter-gauge steel panels and affect their appearance. |
Cost note: Estimates are based on the supplied installed price ranges multiplied by 2,200 sq. ft. Confirm whether this figure represents the home's floor area or actual exterior wall area. Siding estimates are normally calculated using exterior wall area.
Hail-resistance note: Star ratings are illustrative comparisons, not standardized certifications. Verify manufacturer impact-test results, panel specifications, installation requirements, and warranty exclusions before making a purchasing decision.
Here’s a quick guide to picking the right fit:
Every estimate is different because every home is different. These are the biggest factors we weigh:
