Basic, standard or premium: Missouri 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
$8,500 to $15,300
Basic clapboard siding, simple house
Standard
$13,600 to $20,500
Mid-grade panels, standard trim and corners
Premium
$18,800 to $25,600
Premium or board-and-batten, many corners and gables

|---|---|---|---|
| small house (1,200 sq ft of wall) | $4,850 – $8,750 | $7,800 – $11,700 | $10,700 – $14,600 |
| average house (2,100 sq ft of wall) | $8,500 – $15,300 | $13,600 – $20,500 | $18,800 – $25,600 |
| large house (3,000 sq ft of wall) | $12,200 – $21,900 | $19,500 – $29,200 | $26,800 – $36,500 |
Why two Missouri 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.
Missouri versus the states around it
Missouri ranks 16 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. Missouri sits at $17,000. The five states closest by workforce center are listed below.
| State | Distance | Range | Midpoint | vs. here |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iowa | 220 miles away | $8,100 – $24,300 | $16,200 | −5% |
| Arkansas | 230 miles away | $7,250 – $21,700 | $14,500 | −15% |
| Kansas | 250 miles away | $7,950 – $23,800 | $15,900 | −7% |
| Nebraska | 270 miles away | $7,750 – $23,200 | $15,500 | −9% |
| Illinois | 310 miles away | $9,850 – $29,600 | $19,700 | +16% |
Other Missouri jobs that often go with vinyl siding
Each project weights the trades differently, so Missouri's wage level does not push every price by the same amount. Compared with the US midpoint, attic insulation is +3% and roof replacement −6%.
| Project | Size | Range | vs. US |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roof replacement | 2,000 sq ft of roof | $5,700 – $11,700 | −6% |
| Gutters | 160 linear ft | $1,300 – $4,150 | −1% |
| Window replacement | 10 windows | $4,300 – $14,400 | −4% |
| Attic insulation | 1,000 sq ft | $1,050 – $4,100 | +3% |
| Metal roof | 2,000 sq ft of roof | $9,600 – $30,900 | −5% |
Missouri metro-by-metro prices
1 of the 6 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $17,000, and the top-to-bottom gap is 23%. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| St. Louis, MO | $9,350 – $28,000 | $18,700 | +9% |
| Kansas City, MO | $8,450 – $25,300 | $16,900 | −1% |
| Jefferson City, MO | $8,450 – $25,300 | $16,900 | −1% |
| Columbia, MO | $8,200 – $24,500 | $16,400 | −4% |
| Springfield, MO | $7,750 – $23,200 | $15,500 | −9% |
| Joplin, MO | $7,600 – $22,800 | $15,200 | −11% |
Wages behind the Missouri number
Missouri'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 1.07 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $29.25 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.85 and $38.74 an hour. About 14,410 work in the state. That is 49.1 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 $27.28 an hour, which is 20% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.93 and $37.30 an hour. BLS counts 17,050 of them working in the state, 58.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 10% of the weighting: a median of $30.56 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $22.84 and $47.16 an hour. About 2,640 work in the state. That is 9.0 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 ($38.74 an hour) would add about $1,650 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.85) would take off about $1,100. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 2,936,050 jobs across Missouri (May 2025), which is 1.9% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $22.85 | $29.25 | $38.74 | $29.12 | 1.00 | state |
| Construction laborers (47-2061) | 30% | $21.93 | $27.28 | $37.30 | $22.66 | 1.20 | state |
| Sheet metal workers (47-2211) | 10% | $22.84 | $30.56 | $47.16 | $29.71 | 1.03 | state |

When Missouri weather lets you install
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Missouri 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.
Springfield has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Missouri at 11 months (February through December); Kansas City has the shortest at 9 (February through June and August through November). Rainfall runs from 38 inches a year in Kansas City to 47 inches in Springfield.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| St. Louis | 25 | 90 | 44 | 10: February through June and August through December |
| Kansas City | 22 | 90 | 38 | 9: February through June and August through November |
| Springfield | 23 | 88 | 47 | 11: February through December |
| Columbia | 23 | 89 | 45 | 10: February through November |
| Joplin | 25 | 90 | 46 | 10: September through June |
| Jefferson City | 23 | 89 | 40 | 11: February through December |
