Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between vinyl, wood, and fiber cement siding repair costs?

Vinyl panels and repair kits are cheapest ($80–$200). Wood siding costs more ($150–$350) due to lumber and stain/paint. Fiber cement is the priciest ($200–$400) but most durable. Material cost depends on panel size and damage severity.

Does NailIt's estimate include labor?

No. NailIt shows MATERIALS ONLY. Since you're doing the work yourself, we estimate the supplies and parts you'll buy. You save the contractor labor cost, which typically runs $2,000–$5,000+ for professional siding repair.

Can I repair small holes and cracks without replacing entire panels?

Yes. Small vinyl holes can be patched with repair kits ($15–$30). Wood or fiber cement cracks can be filled with caulk and painted ($20–$50 total). Our estimate adjusts based on damage size—use the calculator to input your specific situation.
