| Project | Size | Range | vs. US |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roof replacement | 2,000 sq ft of roof | $5,500 – $11,500 | −9% |

When Florida weather lets you install
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Florida is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Miami has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Florida at 12 months; Punta Gorda has the shortest at 7 (October through April). Rainfall runs from 46 inches a year in Lakeland to 68 inches in Pensacola.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.

Basic, standard or premium: Florida prices
Bands overlap on purpose, since a good standard job can cost as much as a light premium one. Below are the three bands for the default size, then a grid from small house (1,200 sq ft of wall) to large house (3,000 sq ft of wall).
Basic
$7,700 to $13,900
Basic clapboard siding, simple house
Standard
$12,300 to $18,500
Mid-grade panels, standard trim and corners
Premium
$17,000 to $23,100
Premium or board-and-batten, many corners and gables
| Size | Basic | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| small house (1,200 sq ft of wall) | $4,400 – $7,950 | $7,050 – $10,600 | $9,700 – $13,200 |
| average house (2,100 sq ft of wall) | $7,700 – $13,900 | $12,300 – $18,500 | $17,000 – $23,100 |
| large house (3,000 sq ft of wall) | $11,000 – $19,800 | $17,600 – $26,400 | $24,200 – $33,000 |
Why two Florida quotes can differ
Style
Clapboard vinyl siding runs $4-$7 per sq ft installed; board-and-batten is $5-$9 (HomeGuide).
Old siding removal
Taking the old siding off costs $0.70-$2.00 per sq ft. Check that disposal is included.
Labor and season
Siding labor is $40-$80 an hour or $2-$6 per sq ft, and it is highest in warm months.
Wall area is not floor area
A 2,000 sq ft house usually has more wall area than floor area once you count gables and two stories. Measure the wall, not the floor.
Which Florida city is cheapest for vinyl siding?
2 of the 19 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $15,400, and the top-to-bottom gap is 10%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.

|---|---|---|---|
| Miami, FL | $8,050 – $24,200 | $16,100 | +5% |

Florida labor market for vinyl siding
Florida's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 0.85 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $23.98 an hour, 18% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.41 and $28.79 an hour. About 39,300 work in the state. That is 39.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $21.17 an hour, which is 7% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.83 and $23.06 an hour. BLS counts 87,040 of them working in the state, 87.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 10% of the weighting: a median of $23.87 an hour, 20% below the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $19.61 and $28.87 an hour. About 8,040 work in the state. That is 8.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($28.79 an hour) would add about $830 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($21.41) would take off about $440. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 9,929,860 jobs across Florida (May 2025), which is 6.4% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $21.41 | $23.98 | $28.79 | $29.12 | 0.82 | state |
| Construction laborers (47-2061) | 30% | $17.83 | $21.17 | $23.06 | $22.66 | 0.93 | state |
