Choosing Siding for the Vermont Climate
Every region wears siding out in its own way. For Vermont, with summer highs near 80°F, the main factors are these:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Vermont sits in region 1.
Cold winters. Nights near 8°F reward a tight weather barrier. Taped house wrap and foam board under the siding also cut drafts, which shows up on the heating bill.
Sliding snow. Snow dropping off a roof can strike lower walls and deck rails hard. Fiber cement or a heavy vinyl panel takes that hit better than a thin one.
Upper-wall stains. If the house has had ice dams, say so before work starts. Stains high on the walls usually mean water got behind the old siding, and that sheathing should be opened and checked.
The siding season in Vermont is short, so the best crews fill their calendars early. Ask for quotes in late winter for a spring or summer start; cold-weather installs can cost more or get pushed back.

Getting a Fair Siding Quote in Vermont
Put quotes side by side on equal terms. These details explain most of the gap:
- Rot repair. Ask how damaged sheathing is priced once the old siding comes off.
- Shape. A cut-up house with many corners adds about $3,220 over a simple box.
- Warranty and cleanup. Get the labor warranty, disposal and permit fees in writing.

How much does siding cost per square in Vermont?
Per square installed: about $756.54 for vinyl and $1,357.05 for HARDIE fiber cement in Vermont. Multiply by the wall area, then add trim wraps and any tear-off.
Is tear-off worth paying for?
Not always. Installing over sound, flat siding saves about $2,210-$4,410 on this house; removal is the safer choice when there is water damage or uneven walls.
Vinyl or HARDIE siding - which is the better value?
That depends on your plans. For a long stay or a higher-value home, fiber cement at $22,140 to $31,980 makes sense; for the lowest cost, vinyl at $12,760 to $18,420 is hard to beat.
