Siding Replacement Cost in Vermont (2026)

Re-siding a 1,500 sq ft home in Vermont typically runs $9,200–$25,000, with cedar lap or shake wood the dominant residential cladding choice. Green Mountain elevation winter ambients across Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans counties sustain -25°F readings that drive vinyl panel brittleness on south-facing elevations — and Vermont's heritage of cedar lap, board-and-batten, and shake cladding (Federal-period and Greek Revival housing stock in Middlebury, Burlington, and Brattleboro) drives sustained wood-cladding dominance over fiber-cement and vinyl on historic-district overlays.
