Notes

  • Where the number comes from. The national price for a siding replacement is $800 per square — installed siding pricing published for 2026, $4–$16 per ft² depending on material. Labor is about 55% of that. Carpenters near Bristol, CT average $65,970 a year against a U.S. mean of $65,630 — a factor of 1.005 — so the labor half is scaled by that and the material half is not.

  • Why the city matters, not just the state. Trade pay moves inside a state as much as it does between states. Crews do not commute across a state to bid a job, and materials ship at national prices either way — so a metro wage is the honest input here and a state average quietly rounds four different cities into one number.
  • What is in the price: tear-off of one layer, house wrap, the siding, J-channel and corner posts, fasteners, disposal and labor.
  • What is not: sheathing replacement found once the old siding is off, insulation added behind the new siding, window and door trim replacement, and permits. These are the lines that turn a $17,650 quote into a $22,063 invoice, so ask about each one before signing.
  • Use this as a bid check, not a quote. It prices an average job in average condition. Difficult access, the state of what is being replaced, the season, and a crew booked out three months all move the real number, and none of them are in a per-unit average.

a siding replacement in Bristol, CT

$17,650 is the typical number, and three bids on the same scope normally land between $8,825 and $35,300.

Why the city changes the number

About 55% of this job is labor — $9,708 of the $17,650 above. Labor is the only part that moves locally; a bundle of material costs what it costs wherever it is nailed down.

Carpenters near Bristol average $65,970 a year, against a U.S. mean of $65,630. That is a factor of 1.005, so the labor half is scaled by it and the material half is not.

What the quote should include

The lines that turn a quote into an invoice

Ask about each of them before you sign. On a job this size they are the difference between $17,650 and something a quarter higher.

Use it as a bid check, not a quote

This prices an average job in average condition. Access, the state of what is being replaced, the season, and a crew booked out three months all move the real number, and none of them are in a national average.

If a bid lands outside $8,825 – $35,300, that is not automatically wrong — but it is the question worth asking out loud.
