Vinyl siding is more than a building material, it is a building system that requires different parts including siding panels, soffit, fascia, trim, corners and mounting accessories. Vinyl siding typically costs between $3.00 to $7.00 per square foot, not including installation and other accessories. Vinyl siding prices also vary on where you purchase your vinyl siding from, such as buying directly from a distributor (rare, unless you are a contractor) or through a certified installer.
