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 Hobbs, NM average $57,430 a year against a U.S. mean of $65,630 — a factor of 0.875 — so the labor half is scaled by that and the material half is not. Source: BLS does not publish a metro figure for carpenters near Hobbs, NM, so this is the New Mexico state average, SOC 47-2031.
  • This one falls back to a wider average. BLS did not publish a metro-level wage for this trade near Hobbs, NM, so the figure above is a state average. It is still the right order of magnitude, but a local bid carries more weight here than it would in a large metro where the survey has more responses.
  • 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 $10,430 quote into a $13,038 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.

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 $10,430 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 $5,215 – $20,861, that is not automatically wrong — but it is the question worth asking out loud.
