Why two Kansas 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.
How Kansas compares with nearby states
Kansas ranks 33 of 51 (the 50 states plus DC) for vinyl siding, where 1 is the most expensive. The costliest is Hawaii at $21,900 and the cheapest Arkansas at $14,500, both for 2,100 sq ft of wall at the midpoint. Kansas sits at $15,900. The five states closest by workforce center are listed below.

Kansas labor market for vinyl siding
Kansas'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 0.95 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $27.39 an hour, 6% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.99 and $32.08 an hour. About 5,210 work in the state. That is 36.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $21.56 an hour, which is 5% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.94 and $23.66 an hour. BLS counts 9,990 of them working in the state, 69.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 10% of the weighting: a median of $30.13 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $20.85 and $41.67 an hour. About 1,730 work in the state. That is 12.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($32.08 an hour) would add about $810 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.99) would take off about $760. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,437,520 jobs across Kansas (May 2025), which is 0.9% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $22.99 | $27.39 | $32.08 | $29.12 | 0.94 | state |
| Construction laborers (47-2061) | 30% | $17.94 | $21.56 | $23.66 | $22.66 | 0.95 | state |

Kansas seasons and vinyl siding
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Kansas 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.
Every Kansas metro on the list has 9 comfortable months, though rainfall ranges from 34 inches a year in Wichita to 37 in Topeka.
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.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wichita | 23 | 93 | 34 | 9: February through June and September through December |
| Topeka | 20 | 90 | 37 | 9: February through June and August through November |
Kansas metro-by-metro prices
0 of the 2 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $15,900, and the top-to-bottom gap is 3%. 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.
| Metro | Range (2,100 sq ft of wall) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Topeka, KS | $7,750 – $23,200 | $15,500 | −3% |
| Wichita, KS | $7,500 – $22,500 | $15,000 | −5% |
