What drives the price

Home size & stories — more square footage and height mean more material and staging.
Material & brand — fiber cement > engineered wood > insulated vinyl > vinyl.
Old siding removal — tear-off and disposal of existing siding adds labor.
Sheathing & rot repair — damaged sheathing or hidden rot found during tear-off is replaced at extra cost.
Insulation & house-wrap — adding insulated backing or new weather-resistive barrier raises cost and cuts energy bills.
Trim, soffit & fascia — wrapping windows, corners and eaves in matching trim adds to the total.
Flashing — re-flashing around windows, doors and the roofline prevents leaks and is worth doing right.

For maximum durability, curb appeal and resale, fiber cement (James Hardie) is the premium pick: fire- and rot-resistant, impact-resistant, and it holds paint for 15+ years. Many Bergen County homeowners pair new siding with a new roof for a complete exterior refresh.
