Most full-home siding replacement projects we complete in Rhode Island average about $17,800. Your price depends on the size of your home, the siding material, trim details, and what we find on the wall once the old siding comes off.
What Affects Siding Cost
- Size and height of the home: total wall area, number of stories, and how many gables and corners it has
- Siding material: vinyl, fiber cement, and cedar shingles are priced differently
- Removal of old siding, including multiple layers on some older homes
- Sheathing repair where the wall underneath is rotted or damaged
- House wrap and flashing: a new water-resistive barrier and flashing at every window and door
- Trim, soffit, and fascia replacement or capping
- Access around decks, additions, and tight lot lines
What Is Included in a GCR Siding Project
- Removal and disposal of the old siding
- Inspection of the sheathing once the wall is open
- A new water-resistive barrier, lapped and sealed correctly
- Flashing integrated around windows, doors, and penetrations
- New siding and trim installed to manufacturer specifications
- Final walkthrough and job-site cleanup
Siding Is Your Home's Rain Screen
Siding sheds most of the rain, but some water always gets behind it. What protects your home is the layer underneath: the water-resistive barrier and the flashing around every opening. When those details are wrong, water gets trapped in the wall, and the result is rot, mold, and peeling paint inside, often years before anyone notices.
Every GCR siding project is built from the wall out. We repair damaged sheathing, install the barrier correctly, and integrate it with your windows and doors before a single piece of siding goes on. Read more in our guide to choosing the right water-resistive barrier for Rhode Island homes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does new siding cost in Rhode Island?
Most full-home siding replacement projects we complete in Rhode Island average about $17,800. Your price depends on the size of the home, the siding material, how much trim is involved, and the condition of the wall underneath.
Why does the condition of the wall matter?
When old siding comes off, we often find damaged sheathing, missing house wrap, or poor flashing around windows and doors. Fixing those problems before new siding goes on is what keeps water out of the wall. Repairs are priced after we see the wall.
Do you install house wrap under new siding?
Yes. A properly installed water-resistive barrier, lapped correctly and integrated with window and door flashing, is the most important part of a siding job. It is what protects the wall when water gets behind the siding.
Can new siding go over my old siding?
In some cases it can, but we usually recommend removing it. Removal lets us inspect and repair the wall, install a proper water-resistive barrier, and avoid trapping moisture behind the new siding.
Do you offer financing for siding?
Yes. We offer financing through Wisetack so you can spread the cost of your project over time. Ask about it during your free estimate.
