Hey everyone! We're looking to replace the siding on our two-story, 2030 sq ft home in the Pacific Northwest, specifically using Hardie Board. We received a quote from a certified installer for $65,000, which includes the Hardie Plank color, installation of drain shield, trimming all windows and corner boards, caulking, flashing, blocking, and venting. Considering we live on an island, is this pricing typical or a bit ridiculous? Thanks for any insights!

I think you're in line with the market. When I was looking for siding on my 1200 sq ft home in West Seattle, I got quotes that ranged from $35,000 to $45,000 for pre-painted Hardie, including various other features. It's also a good idea to get multiple quotes to ensure you're getting a competitive price. Businesses seem eager to match or beat each other lately.
From what I gather, that price isn't too bad if everything's done properly. Just make sure to go with a reputable installer because Hardie has strict requirements for the warranty. Have you checked out any of the installer's previous work in nearby areas? It can be helpful for peace of mind.
Honestly, your quote seems pretty reasonable compared to what I encountered in coastal California. We got similar quotes that were way higher—our cheapest one was $85,000, and that didn't even include the fascia or trim. You're in a better boat here!
