Siding Replacement Cost in West Virginia (2026)

Re-siding a 1,500 sq ft home in West Virginia typically runs $8,500–$23,500, with vinyl panel the dominant residential cladding choice. Appalachian coal-country reclaimed mine subsidence creates unpredictable ground settlement that shears below-grade rim-joist flashing annually on properties built over abandoned mine works — and Allegheny Plateau winter ice storms across Hampshire, Hardy, and Pendleton counties drive wood-cladding rot and rainscreen-gap requirements on every full envelope re-side.
