Memphis homeowners often look at their exterior and realize the siding and the windows are both showing their age. The natural question follows: can you bundle the two projects, and is it actually cheaper to do them together?
The short answer is yes on both counts, but the savings come from several specific places. This guide breaks down where the money is saved, when bundling makes sense, and how to structure the project for the best outcome.
Why Bundling Siding and Windows Saves Money
- Single mobilization. Contractors charge less per project when the crew is already on-site. Mobilization, setup, dumpster rental, and project management get shared across both projects.
- Better trim integration. New windows in old siding creates trim and flashing transition points that always look slightly off. Doing both together gives a clean, integrated finish.
- Promotional pricing. Most Memphis contractors offer bundle discounts of 5 to 10 percent off the combined price.
- Single financing application. One credit application, one loan, one monthly payment.
When Bundling Makes Sense
- Both your siding and windows are 15+ years old and showing aging
- Your windows are single-pane or low-efficiency double-pane
- You're seeing water damage on interior walls (often a sign of failed flashing where the two systems meet)
- You're planning to sell within 2 to 5 years and want a major curb appeal upgrade
When Bundling Doesn't Make Sense
- Your siding is healthy and the windows are the only issue
- Your windows are newer (under 10 years) and only the siding needs work
- Budget constraints make the combined project impossible without taking on more debt than you're comfortable with

What to Look for When Choosing a Bundle Contractor
- Confirm they install both products in-house (subcontracting one defeats the integration benefit)
- Ask for the bundle discount in writing before signing
- Verify warranty coverage on both products
- Confirm the project timeline — most bundled Memphis exterior projects take 5 to 10 days

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to bundle siding and windows on a Memphis home?
Most Memphis-area bundle projects fall between $25,000 and $60,000 depending on home size, material grade, and number of windows. A typical 2,000 to 2,500 sq ft home with vinyl siding and 10 to 12 window replacements lands in the low to mid $30,000s.
Will my insurance cover a bundled exterior project?
Only if both projects are storm damage related and approved by your adjuster. Bundled aesthetic upgrades are not typically insurance-covered. Storm-damage bundles where both siding and windows are damaged in one event can be processed as a single claim.
How long does a bundled exterior project take?
Five to ten days for an average Memphis home, depending on size, weather, and materials. Window replacements typically run two to four days; siding adds three to seven days.
