Siding Replacement ROI in Boston (2025): Is It Worth It?

December 30, 20254 min read

If you’re a Boston homeowner thinking about replacing your siding, you’re probably asking:

“Is it worth it—and will I get my money back?”

In many cases, yes. National remodeling data continues to show that exterior upgrades (like siding) tend to hold value better than many interior projects—because curb appeal and first impressions matter.(Zonda)

At Peak Quality Roofing, we help homeowners choose the right siding for their home and budget—vinyl, fiber cement, clapboard, and cedar shingle/cedar shake by request—starting with a free siding inspection. (Peak Quality Roofing)

What siding ROI means (simple explanation)

ROI (return on investment) in remodeling usually means how much of the project cost you may recoup at resale.

ROI does not capture benefits like:

  • fewer maintenance headaches

  • better weather resistance (a big deal in New England)

  • improved comfort if drafts/moisture issues are corrected

So even if you’re not selling soon, siding can still be worth it—just for more than one reason.

2025 siding ROI: the latest national numbers

According to the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report (national averages), siding replacement performs strongly:

  • Siding replacement (fiber cement): ~114% cost recouped

  • Siding replacement (vinyl): ~97% cost recouped (Journal of Light Construction)

For homeowners considering a more dramatic exterior upgrade:

  • Manufactured stone veneer: ~208% cost recouped (Journal of Light Construction)

Boston note: These are national averages. Actual ROI depends on your neighborhood market, your home’s condition, and how much curb appeal improves.

When siding replacement is most “worth it” in Boston

In our area, siding replacement usually makes the most sense when:

  • Siding is warping, cracking, loose, or frequently needing repairs

  • Paint is failing fast (often a moisture warning on wood/clapboard)

  • You see soft spots/rot around trim, corners, windows, or near rooflines

  • You’re preparing to sell and want strong curb appeal

  • You want to reduce maintenance (especially on multi-story homes)

When repair or partial replacement may be the smarter move

Not every house needs a full re-side. Sometimes a targeted plan is better—especially if damage is isolated.

That’s why our first step is always a free inspection: we’ll tell you if you truly need a full replacement or if repairs are enough.
