Cost to Reside a House in Portland
Residing a house in Portland costs about 6 to 15 dollars per square foot of wall installed, so a typical 1,500 square foot home runs roughly 10,000 to 24,000 dollars depending on material.

What older homes add
On Portland's older homes, removing the original siding can reveal sheathing that needs repair or original trim details worth preserving, both of which affect the cost. Fiber cement in a matching profile is a popular choice because it keeps the home's character while ending the repaint cycle that comes with old wood siding in the wet climate.
