Most Baton Rouge homes have between 1,200 and 1,800 square feet of exterior wall surface that needs covering. Costs per square foot generally fall between $5.00 and $18.00 installed, depending on the material, though premium options like James Hardie fiber cement with custom color finishes can push past that ceiling. If your home requires old siding removal, structural repairs underneath, or extensive trim replacement, expect an additional $1,000 to $4,000 on top of the base estimate.
