Big EZ Renovations installs and replaces siding for residential and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans. Siding protects your home from moisture, wind, insects, and UV damage while defining its exterior appearance. In Louisiana’s climate, choosing the right siding material and ensuring proper installation are critical for long-term performance.

The most affordable siding option at $3 to $8 per square foot installed. Vinyl resists moisture and insects, never needs painting, and comes in a wide range of colors. However, it can warp in extreme heat and crack in cold. Best for budget-conscious projects. Cost for a typical home: $5,000 to $12,000.
Fiber cement is the top choice for Louisiana. It resists rot, termites, fire, and moisture. It holds paint well and comes in styles that mimic wood lap siding, shingles, and board-and-batten. Cost: $6 to $13 per square foot installed, or $9,000 to $20,000 for a typical home. Lasts 30-50 years.
Wood offers classic aesthetics but requires regular maintenance (painting or staining every 3-5 years) in New Orleans humidity. Cedar and cypress are the most rot-resistant wood options for Louisiana. Cost: $7 to $15 per square foot installed.
| Material | Cost Per Sq Ft | Average Home | Lifespan | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | $3 – $8 | $5,000 – $12,000 | 20-30 years | Low (wash only) |
| Fiber Cement | $6 – $13 | $9,000 – $20,000 | 30-50 years | Repaint every 10-15 years |
| Wood (Cedar) | $7 – $15 | $10,500 – $22,500 | 20-40 years | Paint/stain every 3-5 years |
Fiber cement (James Hardie) is the best overall choice. It resists moisture, termites, rot, and fire, and lasts 30-50 years with minimal maintenance. It is the standard for new construction in Southeast Louisiana.
$5,000 to $22,500 depending on material and home size. Vinyl is cheapest, fiber cement is mid-range, wood is most expensive.
Most residential siding projects take 1 to 2 weeks. Larger homes or projects involving structural repair behind the siding take longer.
