Real 2026 pricing for West Virginia homeowners — metal, vinyl, aluminum, and wood siding, and what actually moves the price.
New siding transforms how a home looks and seals it against West Virginia's humid summers and cold, wet winters. For an average WV home, most homeowners spend between $10,000 and $20,000 on a full siding project. The two things that swing that number the most are the material you choose and the size of your home's exterior walls.

| Material | Typical WV Home (installed) |
|---|---|
| Vinyl | $8,000 – $16,000 |
| Aluminum | $9,000 – $18,000 |
| Metal | $13,000 – $24,000 |
| Wood / Cedar | $16,000 – $30,000 |
The biggest factor. A larger home simply has more wall to cover. Two-story homes also cost more than single-story of the same footage, because of the added height and labor.
As the table shows, jumping from vinyl to metal or wood can nearly double your cost. This is the single biggest lever you control.
Tearing off and disposing of old siding adds to the project. If there's rotted sheathing underneath — not uncommon on older WV homes — that repair adds to the total.
Homes with lots of corners, gables, windows, and architectural detail take more cutting and trim work, which adds labor.

A typical WV siding project takes 2–7 days depending on the size of the home, the material, and the weather.
Vinyl if budget is the priority and you want low maintenance. Metal if you want maximum durability, fire resistance, and a premium look, and you plan to stay in the home long-term. Aluminum sits in between. All handle WV weather well.
Yes — siding typically returns 70–80% of its cost in home value, and it's one of the most visible upgrades a buyer notices from the curb.
Yes, partial or repair jobs cost less than a full replacement. But matching old siding exactly can be tricky, especially if the original has faded. A contractor can advise on whether a partial job will look right.
