Understanding Siding Material Costs
Replacing your home’s siding is an exciting way to safeguard your investment. But before you dive into colors and styles, one big question looms: “How much is this going to cost?” Budgeting for a major home improvement project can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be a mystery.
Understanding the cost ranges for different siding materials helps you make informed decisions about your home’s exterior. Here’s a breakdown of our Bevel and James Hardie siding options and their typical price ranges:
Bevel Wood Siding (Cedar, Pine, Redwood)
Cost Range: $11.00 – $16.00 per square foot installed
Bevel wood siding offers timeless craftsmanship and natural charm that few materials can replicate. Species like cedar, pine, and redwood bring rich texture, character, and warmth to any home, aging gracefully over time to develop a distinct patina. Cedar’s natural oils help resist rot and insects, giving it an edge in longevity when properly maintained. While wood requires regular upkeep, such as staining or painting every few years and applying moisture protection treatments, many homeowners appreciate the pride and satisfaction of caring for a truly classic exterior. In the Pacific Northwest, bevel siding remains a favorite among those who value authenticity, design flexibility, and a genuine connection to natural materials.
Fiber Cement Siding (James Hardie)
Cost Range: $8.00 – $14.00 per square foot installed
Fiber cement siding represents the premium tier of siding materials, engineered specifically to withstand the toughest weather conditions while maintaining beauty for decades. Industry leaders like James Hardie have perfected formulations that resist moisture, fire, and pests without the intensive maintenance wood demands. Fiber cement won’t rot, warp, or attract termites, making it an exceptionally practical choice for the Pacific Northwest’s wet climate. Homeowners benefit from minimal upkeep, typically just occasional cleaning and repainting every 10-15 years. The material’s dimensional stability means it holds paint beautifully, and many manufacturers back their products with warranties extending 30 years or more. For those seeking a balance between timeless aesthetics and modern performance, fiber cement delivers lasting value, curb appeal, and peace of mind through seasons of rain, wind, and sun.
Why K Single Corp Specializes in Premium Siding Solutions
After completing thousands of projects across the Greater Seattle Area over our 25+ years in business, we’ve seen firsthand how different siding materials perform in the Pacific Northwest’s unique climate. The constant moisture, temperature fluctuations, UV exposure, and occasional severe weather events demand materials that can truly stand the test of time.
That’s why we’ve focused our expertise on two premium siding options that consistently deliver superior performance, longevity, and return on investment for our clients.

Choosing the right material is the foundation of a successful siding project. We specialize in installing high-performance siding that is perfectly suited for the Pacific Northwest climate, ensuring your home is beautiful and well-protected for decades. We proudly offer two premium options that are the best fit for Seattle residents:
James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie is the leader in fiber cement siding for good reason. It is engineered specifically to resist the elements that damage other siding materials. James Hardie products are:
- Moisture Resistant: Unlike wood that rots or vinyl that warps, James Hardie siding is engineered to resist moisture damage, making it ideal for our rainy climate.
- Pest and Fire Proof: Fiber cement won’t attract termites or other pests, and it’s non-combustible, providing crucial fire protection for your home.
- Dimensionally Stable: It won’t warp, buckle, or crack under temperature fluctuations, maintaining its appearance year after year.
- Long-Lasting Color: James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology bakes the finish into the siding, so it resists fading, chipping, and peeling far longer than painted wood or vinyl.
- Low Maintenance: Beyond occasional cleaning, James Hardie siding requires minimal upkeep, no staining, sealing, or frequent repainting.
- Exceptional Warranty: Backed by comprehensive warranties that reflect the manufacturer’s confidence in the product’s durability.
The initial investment in James Hardie siding delivers exceptional ROI through decades of performance, minimal maintenance costs, enhanced curb appeal that increases property value, and energy efficiency benefits that reduce utility bills.

When installed with our expert craftsmanship and attention to detail, Bevel siding delivers the classic Northwest look homeowners love while providing reliable, long-term protection.
Factors That Influence Your Project Costs
Several project-specific factors influence where your final cost falls within these ranges. Homes with multiple stories or intricate architectural details naturally require more skilled labor and precision work. The existing siding condition plays a role; older or damaged materials may need extra effort for removal and proper disposal. Sometimes, underlying issues like compromised sheathing or framing are revealed once old siding comes off, requiring repair before new installation can begin. The quantity and style of windows and doors also matter, as each one needs careful trim work to ensure a polished, weathertight finish. Finally, site conditions such as steep slopes, tight access points, or limited work areas can impact how efficiently our crews can complete the installation.
- Architectural Complexity: Homes with multiple stories, intricate trim details, or unique architectural features may require additional labor and materials.
- Existing Siding Removal: The condition and type of your current siding can affect removal costs and preparation work.
- Substrate Repairs: Underlying damage to sheathing or framing that’s discovered during removal may need to be addressed before new siding installation.
- Window and Door Trim: The number and style of windows and doors that require custom trim work can impact the overall project scope.
- Accessibility: Challenging site access, steep terrain, or limited workspace can affect installation efficiency.
