Published September 25, 2025 | By Hoosier Cladding LLC
Planning a siding replacement project in Northern Indiana? Understanding the costs involved helps you budget effectively and make informed decisions. This comprehensive guide breaks down 2025 siding replacement costs for South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, and surrounding areas.
Average Siding Replacement Costs in Indiana
Cost Ranges by Material (2025)
- Vinyl Siding: $8,000 - $16,000 (average 1,500 sq ft home)
- Fiber Cement (James Hardie): $14,000 - $28,000
- Engineered Wood: $12,000 - $24,000
- Cedar Wood: $18,000 - $35,000
Factors Affecting Cost
1. Home Size
Square footage is the primary cost driver. Most Northern Indiana homes range from 1,200 to 2,500 square feet of siding area. Measure the exterior walls (not floor space) for an accurate estimate.
2. Material Choice
Vinyl: Most affordable, low maintenance, good for Indiana's climate
Fiber Cement: Premium option, excellent durability, handles freeze-thaw cycles
Wood: Beautiful but requires more maintenance in humid Michiana summers
3. Existing Siding Removal
Tear-off and disposal add $1,000-$3,000 to your project. If your home has multiple layers of old siding, expect higher removal costs. Indiana building codes typically limit to two layers maximum.
4. Insulation Upgrades
Adding insulated siding or foam board increases costs by $2-4 per square foot but can reduce heating bills by 15-20%—significant savings during harsh South Bend winters.
5. Trim and Details
Replacing trim, soffits, and fascia adds $1,500-$4,000 depending on linear footage and material. Hoosier Cladding recommends addressing all exterior envelope components together for best results.
