Metal siding has become the go-to exterior upgrade for homeowners who want longevity, crisp modern lines, and low maintenance. The first question our residential clients ask during a live call with CountBricks estimators is simple: “What will it cost?” This article digs into every factor that affects cost metal siding and shows how CountBricks’ AI-driven estimates remove the guesswork.
• Steel panels: Rugged and affordable, typically 10-15% less than aluminum.
• Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion-proof near coastal zones, but carries a slight premium.
• Zinc and copper accents: Luxury pricing at 4-5x steel, used for design pops rather than full walls.
• Corrugated: Lowest material cost; fast installation reduces labor spend.
• Standing seam: Sleek lines and hidden fasteners raise both curb appeal and price by 20-30%.
• Custom powder coat colors: Add $1–$2 per square foot but extend fade resistance to 30+ years.
1. Tear-off of existing siding
