  • Wall area = footprint perimeter × 19 ft grade-to-eave height; a 1.5:1 rectangle is assumed when only the perimeter is known.
  • 2 gable triangles estimated at a 6/12 pitch for the "gable" roof style.
  • Openings reduced at 75% of their area (trim and cuts eat part of the saving); waste factor 13%.
  • City permits are common; budget for sheathing repairs on older homes.

What drives siding cost in Ohio

Ohio is vinyl country — it took over the market decades ago and remains the default re-side, with labor below the national average keeping installed costs among the lowest of the big states. The freeze-thaw climate demands correct installation: panels nailed loose to float through temperature swings, and quality locking profiles that don't unzip in wind. Much of the housing stock is older, so budget for sheathing repair at tear-off. Fiber cement is the standard step-up for buyers planning to stay.
