## Siding installation & replacement

- [Siding installation in South Bend](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/siding.md): New siding costs $5.50–$8.50 per square foot installed for standard vinyl and $9–$14 for James Hardie fiber cement in Northern Indiana. Hoosier Cladding measures your walls, checks what is under the old siding, and installs to the manufacturer's specification so the warranty holds.
- [House siding replacement](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/house-siding-replacement.md): Replacing the siding on a standard two-story Northern Indiana home costs $10,000–$22,000, including tear-off, new house wrap and installation. Hoosier Cladding strips the old siding to the sheathing, fixes what it finds, and re-sides the whole house in vinyl, fiber cement or engineered wood.

## Siding materials

- [Vinyl siding in South Bend & Michiana](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/vinyl-siding-michiana-south-bend.md): Vinyl siding costs $5.50–$8.50 per square foot installed in the South Bend area, or $7.50–$10.50 for insulated vinyl. A typical 2,000 square-foot wall area runs $8,000–$16,000. Hoosier Cladding installs, replaces and repairs vinyl siding across Michiana.
- [James Hardie fiber cement siding](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/products.md): James Hardie fiber cement siding costs $9–$14 per square foot installed in Northern Indiana, about 30 to 50 percent more than vinyl. It resists hail, fire, woodpeckers and the freeze-thaw cycles of Indiana winters, and Hoosier Cladding installs the full HardieZone HZ5 product line.

## Siding repair

- [Aluminum siding repair](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/aluminum-siding-repair.md): Most aluminum siding problems, such as loose or rattling panels, hail dents, chalking paint and gaps around trim, can be repaired without re-siding the house. Hoosier Cladding repairs aluminum siding in South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart and Granger and tells you plainly when repair stops making sense.
- [Storm damage siding repair](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/storm-damage-siding-repair.md): After hail or high wind, Hoosier Cladding inspects your siding for free, photographs and measures every damaged panel, and gives you a written report and repair estimate to send to your insurance adjuster. Then we make the repair.

## Siding decisions

- [Should you repair or replace your siding?](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/siding-decisions/repair-or-replace-siding.md): Repair your siding when the damage is on one or two walls, the sheathing behind it is dry and solid, and you can get panels that match or a hidden wall to borrow them from. Replace it when it is failing on three or more sides, the wall behind is wet or soft, it is past about three quarters of its expected life, or the repair quote passes roughly a third of the price of new siding.
- [Vinyl vs fiber cement vs engineered wood siding](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/siding-decisions/vinyl-vs-fiber-cement-vs-engineered-wood.md): For most Northern Indiana homes the choice comes down to budget and how long you will stay. Vinyl ($5.50–$8.50 per sq ft installed) is the lowest-cost, lowest-maintenance option. James Hardie fiber cement ($9–$14) lasts longest and shrugs off hail, fire and woodpeckers. LP SmartSide engineered wood ($8.50–$13) sits between them on price, is lighter and resists dents, but it is a wood product that must be kept sealed and off the ground.
- [Paint or replace aluminum siding?](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/siding-decisions/paint-or-replace-aluminum-siding.md): Paint aluminum siding when the panels are straight, tight to the wall and only chalky or faded: a proper repaint costs roughly a third to half as much as new vinyl and looks good for 8 to 10 years. Replace it when it is badly dented, loose, oil-canned or wet behind, or when you would rather never paint again, because new vinyl or fiber cement ends the paint cycle for good.
- [Can you put new siding over old siding?](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/siding-decisions/new-siding-over-old-siding.md): Yes, vinyl can go over one flat, sound layer of wood or aluminum siding, and it saves the $1,000–$3,000 cost of tear-off. We recommend tearing off in most cases anyway, because it is the only way to find and fix wet sheathing, install new house wrap and flash the windows properly. Fiber cement and engineered wood need a flat, solid nail base, so we always tear off for them.
- [Is insulated vinyl siding worth it?](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/siding-decisions/is-insulated-vinyl-siding-worth-it.md): Insulated vinyl costs about $2 more per square foot than standard vinyl in Northern Indiana ($7.50–$10.50 vs $5.50–$8.50 installed). It is worth it mainly for a stiffer, straighter, quieter wall that resists dents, plus a modest cut in drafts. Do not buy it on energy savings alone: the foam adds roughly R-2 to R-3, which helps most on older homes with little insulation in the walls.
- [Storm-damaged siding: repair, replace and your claim](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/siding-decisions/storm-damage-repair-or-replace.md): After hail or high wind, document the damage before anyone talks about replacement. Siding damaged on one or two sides is usually repaired; insurers pay to replace more when matching panels are no longer made or the damage covers most walls. Your policy decides what is covered, so get dated photos, a panel count per wall and a written estimate before signing anything with a contractor.
- [How long siding lasts, and when to replace it](https://www.hoosiercladding.com/siding-decisions/when-to-replace-siding.md): In Northern Indiana, vinyl siding usually lasts 20 to 40 years, fiber cement 30 to 50, engineered wood 25 to 40 and aluminum 30 to 40. Age alone is not the reason to replace it: replace when panels are cracking, warping or loose on several walls, when the wall behind is getting wet, or when keeping it up costs more each year than it is worth. Spring and fall are the best times to do the work.
