Re-siding houses in Winslow, Maine, off China Road and Halifax Street, near Fort Halifax, and out in the subdivisions toward China.
Two eras, two jobs. The older streets near the fort carry the wall conditions you would expect from a century of Maine weather. The newer subdivisions toward China are usually a first re-side on original builder-grade vinyl that has simply worn out.
The second is the cheaper job by some distance, and it is worth knowing which you have. Vinyl runs $6.00 to $9.00 a square foot of wall, with a $12,000 floor on a full house because staging and the first crew week cost the same on a small house as a large one.
What a Full Winslow Re-Side Covers
Here is the whole scope, priced as separate lines rather than one number.
Everything gets stripped. Old siding, old trim, old flashing, and whatever somebody stapled up in 1978.
A weather-resistive barrier over the whole wall. House wrap, lapped shingle-style, taped at the seams. Most houses here have never had one.
Long uninterrupted runs. Fewer corners and fewer cuts means less labor per square foot, and the estimate should reflect that.
Flashing sequenced correctly. Water only knows gravity, and lapping the layers wrong sends it into the wall.
Split-level tie-ins. Where the two levels meet there is a horizontal transition that needs flashing, and it is the one detail these houses get wrong.
Damp lots near the confluence. Two rivers meet in this town, and the low ground holds moisture against the bottom of a wall.

What the Tear-Off Will Find
The wall under the old siding is the one thing no estimator can see, and it is the thing most likely to change the price.
We name it instead of hiding it. Each repair category carries a written unit price you approve before demolition starts.
Whatever allowance is not used comes off the final invoice. That is the point of writing it down.
On a Winslow ranch the sheathing is usually sound. What we find instead is a bottom course sitting too close to grade and a rotted band at the split-level transition.
Installation standards for vinyl, including the expansion allowance that stops buckling, are set by the vinyl siding institute.

Why the Contract Is the Product

Who Owns the Winslow Houses We Re-Side

Long straight runs, few corners, modest window counts. That combination puts most of this town at the bottom of every band on this page.
How Much a Siding Contractor Winslow, ME Charges
Walls, not floors. Take a 2,000 square foot two-story and you are looking at around 2,200 square feet of surface. Vinyl sits at the bottom of the ladder: $6.00 to $9.00 per square foot installed with the old material gone. LP SmartSide prices $8.00 to $11.00 per square foot of wall, which buys a real painted look without the weight. James Hardie and the fiber-cement family price at $10.00 to $15.00 per square foot of wall. Cedar shingle or clapboard, stained, is the top of the range at $14.00 to $20.00 per square foot. Openings drive labor more than square footage does. Every window and door is trim, flashing, and cut work, so a house with 24 windows costs more than the same wall area with 12. $12,000 is the bottom of a full re-side here. Below that you are pricing one elevation, not a house. These are averages across hundreds of estimates. A single house has its own particulars and they move the figure. Most Winslow houses price at the bottom of the vinyl band, because the walls are simple and the openings are few. Engineered wood is the common upgrade and it stays near $8.00.
