Vinyl Siding Installation in New Orleans
A low-maintenance exterior that never needs painting, installed to tested industry protocols across the New Orleans metro.
Why New Orleans Homeowners Choose Vinyl
Vinyl is the most straightforward siding decision most homeowners make. It does not need painting, it is inexpensive relative to most alternatives, and it asks very little of you once it is up.
The materials we use are tested against the range of weather and wear a Gulf Coast exterior actually sees — heat, strong winds, heavy rain and hail. The surface is slick enough that dust and debris slide off with a spray from a garden hose.
Where it earns its keep is the maintenance you stop doing. There is no repaint cycle, no scraping and no sealing — which is a meaningful difference over a decade in this climate.
What’s Included
Every vinyl siding job we quote covers the whole wall assembly, not just the surface you can see.
Removal of existing siding
Old siding is unlocked with a zip tool, the nails pulled, and the material hauled away.
Surface preparation
The wall is prepared and checked before anything new is fastened to it.
Moisture barrier
Building paper and window flashing go on before the siding does.
Window and door detailing
Flashing under and over windows, and J-channel run around openings.
Cut and fit
Vinyl is cut to your home's dimensions and matched to its design.
Installation bottom-up
Strips are installed from the bottom upward so each course laps correctly.
Signs It May Be Time to Call
These are the reasons homeowners most often get in touch about vinyl siding.
Panels are cracked, loose or have blown off after a storm.
Colour has faded badly or the surface has gone chalky.
Panels are warped or buckled from heat or poor original fastening.
Moisture or mildew is showing up behind or beneath the siding.
Rising energy bills with no other clear explanation.
You want a different look without committing to a repaint cycle.
A note on all of the above: these are common reasons to have an exterior looked at, not a diagnosis. Whether the right answer is a repair, a partial replacement or a full replacement depends on what an on-site inspection finds behind the surface. We will tell you which one your home needs, including when the answer is that it can wait.

The standard profile, and the most common choice on New Orleans homes.
Dutch lap
A deeper shadow line for a more traditional look.
Vertical panel
Board-and-batten style for gables and accent walls.
Shake and scallop
Textured profiles for dormers, gables and detail areas.
Insulated vinyl
Vinyl with a foam backing — see our insulated siding page.
What Vinyl Siding Costs
There is no honest flat price for siding. What a project costs depends on the material you choose, the size and shape of the walls, and what we find once the old siding comes off. Here is the published range, and the things that move a quote within it.
Expected service life: typically 20 to 40 years.
Estimates are free and in writing. Financing is available — see our financing options.
$160 – $250
Per square metre for a quality vinyl product installed over rigid insulation
What moves the price
- The grade and thickness of the vinyl product
- Whether rigid insulation goes in behind it
- The size and shape of the area being covered
- How much trim, flashing and detailing the openings need
- The condition of the wall once the old siding is off
Costs vary by project, scope and current material prices — treat this as a starting range, not a quote.

View All Service AreasVinyl Siding Questions
The questions we are asked most often about vinyl siding in New Orleans.
How long does vinyl siding last?
Vinyl siding can last between 20 and 40 years. How long yours lasts depends on the grade of product, the quality of the installation and how exposed the elevation is.
Does vinyl siding need painting?
No. The colour is part of the material rather than a coating on top of it, so there is no repaint cycle. That is one of the main reasons homeowners choose it.
How much does vinyl siding cost?
Our published figure is $160 to $250 per square metre for a quality vinyl product installed over rigid insulation. Note that this is quoted per square metre rather than per square foot. Your actual cost depends on the product grade, the area, and what the walls need once the old siding comes off — we give free written estimates.
How do you clean vinyl siding?
For most homes a spray from a garden hose is enough — the surface is slick, so dust and debris slide off. Stubborn areas usually respond to mild soap and a soft brush.
Is vinyl siding a good choice in a hurricane zone?
Vinyl is made to withstand strong winds, heavy rain and hail, but wind performance varies by product grade and, critically, by how it is fastened. Correct installation matters as much as the panel itself — ask us what rating the specific product carries.
Is there a warranty?
Big Easy Siding states that its vinyl work is insured with lifelong warranties. Warranty coverage depends on the manufacturer’s terms and on your contract, so ask for the written warranty and read what it covers — labour, materials, or both — before you sign.
