Typical full-home siding in Connecticut
Start with what is behind it
New siding over tired wrap and open sills is a new skin on a wet wall. We check flashing, band boards, and rot before we talk colors. Full-home jobs in Connecticut typically run $12,000–$40,000 depending on vinyl versus fiber cement, how many walls, and whether trim is wrapped or replaced.
If the roof is due in the same window, do them together. Scaffolding twice is how the yard stays torn up and the bill grows.
