How Much Does Siding Replacement Cost in Memphis, TN?

Last Updated: June 19, 2026 | Author: Tripp Atkinson, Founder, ContractingPRO

A full siding replacement on a typical Memphis-area home averages around $25,000, with a realistic range of $15,000 to $45,000. The single biggest driver is the material you choose.

Vinyl is the budget-friendly option. James Hardie fiber cement is the premium choice. It costs meaningfully more, but it lasts decades longer in the Mid-South's heat and humidity and carries a 30-year non-prorated warranty on the product.

We publish this range because hiding it serves no one. You should know whether a siding project fits your budget before you sit through a consultation. We can give you an honest range by phone. The exact number takes an on-site look, because home size, the wood underneath, and the finish you want all move the price. Here is what drives the cost, and how to choose between vinyl and Hardie for a Memphis home.

What Drives the Cost of New Siding

Material. This is the big one. Vinyl sits at the lower end of the range. James Hardie fiber cement sits at the upper end, and the gap is real. You are paying for a product engineered to handle moisture, heat, and pests, with a much longer service life.

Home size and siding square footage. The difference between a 1,500 square foot ranch and a 3,000 square foot two-story is substantial. More wall area means more material and more labor.

Trim, soffit, and fascia. A real siding job is rarely just the siding. The wood trim and fascia around your home have usually aged alongside it. Replacing or repairing that surrounding wood is often part of doing the job right, and it affects the price.

Color and finish. James Hardie offers ColorPlus, a baked-on factory finish, at a premium over field-painted vinyl. It holds color longer and saves you repainting down the road.

Vinyl vs. James Hardie Fiber Cement in Memphis

The Mid-South climate is hard on siding. Long humid summers, heavy spring storms, and temperature swings test any exterior. Here is the honest comparison.

Homeowners prioritizing budget on a durable, low-maintenance exterior

Homeowners who want the longest service life and strongest warranty

Neither is the wrong answer. Vinyl is a smart, budget-conscious choice that still gives you a durable, low-maintenance exterior. Hardie is the call when you want the longest life and the strongest warranty, and it is what we most often recommend for homes where the owner plans to stay. We do not promise zero maintenance for any siding product. That claim is not true, and we will not make it.

Who a Siding Replacement Is (and Isn't) For

A full replacement is for the homeowner with aging, damaged, faded, or storm-worn siding who wants a durable exterior upgrade. It is the right call when the siding has reached the end of its life, when moisture is getting behind it, or when you are refreshing the look of the whole home.

It is not automatically the answer for a small damaged section. If a targeted repair to the siding or the wood behind it will solve the problem, we will recommend the repair. We have walked homeowners away from full replacements when a focused fix protected the house. We would rather earn the smaller job and your trust than sell you something you do not need.

How ContractingPRO Approaches Siding

We are a James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor, the top certification tier with the manufacturer. That status is earned through documented installation standards, not bought, and it lets us back your Hardie siding with the full 30-year non-prorated product warranty.

The results speak through our customers. One homeowner told us his vinyl siding project came in more than $10,000 below a competing bid and was a higher-quality proposal, and that we exceeded every expectation. Another, after a full siding replacement, called the result stunning and praised every person from the sales rep to the install crew. A third had a home with holes in it before we came along, finished the project, and now will not trust anyone else with his exterior work.

Your project moves through our specialized handoff team, with a clear owner at every stage and a final walkthrough confirmed by you before we send the invoice. You always know who to call, and the handoffs happen on our end.

We are not the cheapest siding contractor in Memphis. We are also not the most expensive. We are the one whose price reflects exactly what is included, backed by a warranty from a company operating under the same name since 2012.

FAQ

Should I choose vinyl or James Hardie? It depends on your budget and how long you plan to stay. Vinyl is the budget-friendly, low-maintenance option. Hardie costs more upfront, lasts decades longer in our climate, and carries a 30-year non-prorated warranty. We will show you both and give you our honest recommendation for your home.

How long does new siding last? Vinyl gives you a long, dependable service life. James Hardie fiber cement lasts decades and is engineered for humid climates like the Mid-South. We will not promise either product is maintenance-free, because no siding is.

Can you repair my siding instead of replacing all of it? Sometimes, yes. If a targeted repair solves the problem, we will recommend it over a full replacement. We do not push a replacement when a repair will do the job.

Does the price include the trim and wood underneath? A full siding job often includes replacing or repairing the trim, soffit, and fascia that aged alongside the siding. We assess that during the consultation and include it in your quote, so there are no surprises mid-project.

Do you offer financing? Yes. We offer 12-month zero-interest or zero-payment financing through Upgrade, subject to qualification. Many of our siding customers pay out of pocket. Financing is there if you want it.
