How much should it cost to put vinyl siding on a 1500 sq ft cape?

Carbon steel asked:


I am considering putting vinyl siding on myself but would hire someone if the markup was not much more. How much do you think it will cost me to put an average grade vinyl siding on my house in materials if i did it myself, and how much would i expect to pay if i hired someone to do it?

Is it worth it to replace vinyl siding with hardy board?

TRfella asked:


We are buying a great house in a great neighborhood, but don’t like the look of the vinyl siding. Is it possible to replace this with hardy board? Would it cost a small fortune? Would it significantly raise our home’s value?
