If you’re considering a home exterior upgrade, you’re probably asking the big question: how much does siding and gutter replacement cost? While it’s a common question, the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. The cost of replacing siding and gutters varies widely based on several key factors, and understanding these can help you make informed decisions.
At DeG Contracting, we’ve helped countless homeowners in the St. Louis area improve their home’s value and protection with expert siding and gutter replacement services. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the most important elements that affect the total cost and explain our process so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Factors that Impact Your Project Costs
There are several things that will have an impact on how much you pay for your siding and gutter replacement.
1. Size and Layout of Your Home
The overall square footage and layout of your home are major cost factors. A larger home with multiple stories or complex architecture will naturally require more materials and labor. A ranch-style home, for example, is usually easier and less time-consuming to work on than a multi-level house with many corners, gables, or dormers.
When we assess your home, we take exact measurements and evaluate the structure so that we can accurately estimate the scope of the project. This is the first step toward a successful siding and gutter replacement experience.
2. Type of Siding Material
There are many siding materials to choose from, and each comes with its own cost range and benefits. Vinyl is often one of the more budget-friendly choices and is known for its durability and low maintenance. Fiber cement, wood, or engineered wood siding options typically come with a higher material cost but can offer a more unique or traditional look.
Our team will help you weigh the pros and cons of each type of material so you can choose what best fits your home style and your long-term needs. We never push one-size-fits-all solutions. That’s part of what makes DeG Contracting a trusted name in siding and gutter replacement.
3. Gutter Type and Features
Gutters are more than just water management systems. Today’s gutters come in a variety of materials like aluminum, copper, and steel, and you can choose features such as seamless gutters, leaf guards, and larger downspouts. All of these choices impact your project’s cost.
Seamless gutters, for example, tend to be more expensive than sectional gutters, but they reduce the risk of leaks and require less maintenance. Our crew will explain the differences and help you choose what works best for your home and climate.
4. The Condition of the Existing Structure
Before starting a siding and gutter replacement, we inspect your current siding, gutters, and the structure underneath. If we find damage such as rotted wood, mold, or pest issues, these must be fixed before new materials are installed. This ensures your new siding and gutters are built on a safe and secure foundation.
While additional repairs can increase the overall cost, addressing them early avoids more serious problems down the line. Our experienced team is trained to handle these challenges efficiently and correctly.
5. Customizations and Upgrades
Every home is different, and customizations are often part of a siding and gutter project. Whether you want custom trim, decorative accents, upgraded insulation, or bold color options, these choices can all affect the total cost.
However, customizations also add curb appeal and value to your home. We help you explore your options and give you clear information about how each upgrade will affect your quote. A personalized touch often goes a long way in making your home stand out.
6. Permits and Local Regulations
Some areas require building permits for siding and gutter work. While DeG Contracting handles the permit process for you, it’s important to understand that permit fees and inspection requirements may be added to your total project cost depending on where you live.
We know St. Louis building codes inside and out, so you can trust us to make sure everything is done legally and safely.
