At Fairway Exteriors, we believe you deserve to know what your siding project will cost before you commit — not after. That’s why we publish real pricing information on our website, provide fully itemized quotes, and walk through every line item with you in person.
Most Kansas City homeowners looking at James Hardie fiber cement siding should expect to pay between $14–$20 per square foot, depending on the scope of the project. About 85% of our projects fall within this range.
But what drives that range? Let’s break it down.
Before diving into the details, watch our owner Scott Neidow explain exactly how we price siding projects — with real numbers, no sales pitch.
Not all demo is created equal. The type of siding currently on your home directly affects your project cost.
It’s extremely rare for us to find entire walls of wood rot. A good rule of thumb:
There’s no perfect way for a homeowner to calculate exact square footage before getting a professional measurement. But here’s a quick way to get directional pricing:
Example: If Zillow shows your home at 2,000 sq ft with an attached garage, you probably need around 2,500 square feet of siding. At that size, installing James Hardie lap siding with window and door trim (no stucco removal, no double-layer demo), you’re likely looking at $14–$17 per square foot.
The scope of your project has a major impact on pricing:
Your material and style selections can significantly change the final price:
Every home has features that affect pricing. Examples include:
At Fairway Exteriors, we itemize every one of these features so you can see exactly what each detail costs — and make informed decisions about what to include.
After the visit, you receive a detailed, line-by-line quote. Every material, every component, every option is listed separately. This means:
This is how pricing should work. No lump-sum mystery quotes. No surprises at the end.
Most contractors hand you a single number and hope you don’t ask questions. We do the opposite:
✅ Pricing published on our website — you can see real numbers before you ever call
✅ Itemized quotes — every line item broken out so you control the final cost
✅ 3D design renderings — see what your home will look like before committing
✅ No pressure, no games — our owner walks your home and gives you honest numbers
✅ 18 months no-interest financing — making premium siding accessible

THE SOCIAL PROOF
Our Clients Say It Best
December 2025
Fairway Exteriors is an excellent siding replacement contractor. The owner, Scott, is very knowledgeable and helped a lot with design decisions. Design assistance is rarely offered with other contractors. Nick was our project manager. He was fantastic in helping us get everything we wanted and assuring the workmanship met our expectations. We had Scott or Nick (many times both) on site several times a day. We are delighted with the results. Our house has never looked so good.

Very, very pleased with the craftsmanship of the team that did our re-siding! Its a tall house with places that are hard to reach. We get compliments every day! The crew was very very good at cleaning up, never missed a day and worked until sundown. Nicholas was excellent as a project manager, great communicator! Highly recommended!!

Fairway Exteriors was recommended to us for exterior siding by another satisfied customer. Their team came out and worked hard to totally change the look of our home. They were polite and cleaned up everything each day. Scott and Nicholas kept in touch with videos of the progress. We consider this an investment in our home that will last a lifetime. We couldn’t be happier!!

Fairway stood out with their attention to detail, timeliness and communication throughout the whole installation. If you’re in the market, I’d give them a call! This is the second time I’ve had siding work performed on my home and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

Scott, Nicholas and the Fairway Exteriors team did a great job installing James Hardie siding – replacing existing vinyl siding that overlaid stucco. The team performed quickly and Scott/Nicholas provided consistent progress throughout the project. As with all older houses the real work is repairing and accounting for the parts of the house that may not be true or suffering from other issues. The Fairway team addressed all issues and the final installation looked like we’ve had it all along. Would recommend.

Scott, Isaac and the crew at Fairway Exteriors do a great job! The windows installation, siding and paint have my house looking brand new! The project was completed quickly professionally and the communication throughout was appreciated. Glad we trusted our home update to Fairway exteriors.

From Scott’s initial visit to our home, we knew that Fairway Exteriors would get our business. Scott was very thorough in his estimating process which was huge for us since we are historically “do it yourself-ers” and hiring out was a big deal! His team communicated at every turn during the project so we knew exactly what they were up to and when. The job was done with excellence and the end result was more beautiful than we could have imagined! 10/10 for sure!

Superior performance in every respect from start to finish. Our 40+ yrs old bat and board wood siding had once again needed wood rot repair as well as a new paint job. We got the usual paint bids but also contacted Fairway (based on reviews) to consider replacing it with James Hardie siding. And we are glad we did. Fairway did a great job (including a new window) and in the end we ended up with more value for our dollars spent. We’ve never had a contractor more conscientious than Scott. His bid was entirely reasonable. His crew was careful and skilled. The project started and finished on time. Highly recommend.

We knew we were using James Hardie from the get go, but it took us almost two years to decide on a siding company. Fairway Exteriors was not the least expensive, but we felt confident from the start, the value for the money spent was worth it. We were so pleased with our experience with Scott, Nickolas, and the crew. Great communication about the process. Clean up every evening. They guys worked hard and they had an amazing attention to detail. Everyone, we felt, went above and beyond. We highly recommend Fairway Exteriors and, if ever needed, we would use them again!

I highly recommend this company. Scott and team provided a very professional group to replace our windows as well as siding. They were on-site daily for check-in and questions. The crews were very respectful of our property, cleaning up daily after work was completed for the day. A five star company going above and beyond!!! We have our dream home now!!!

We had a great experience with Fairway Exteriors! I appreciated the careful meticulous, hard work that each person brought to the project. Isaac and Scott, project leaders, were always quick to respond to questions along with frequently kept us updated on the project timelines. I was grateful to them for when we weren’t present at home then they were flexible to send video and pictures to ask for our feedback and any decisions they needed help with. We’ve received multiple compliments from our surrounding neighbors about the work. We love our finished product!

We worked with Fairway Exteriors and had a good experience. We did both siding and windows as well and have been pleased with the work for both. We chose Fairway based on reviews from others and their pricing was competitive. The onsite installers were professional and there was always a foreman on site we could communicate directly with. He also gave us daily updates on progress, questions or issues. We had issues with a leaky exterior faucet and a gas line that they discovered and we had a third party come out to fix. Those were our only additional costs.

10/10 Scott demo’d and installed new siding in a matter of 3 days to turn our old Leawood geek to modern chic

We had our siding replaced by Fairway Exteriors this week and are very very pleased with the result. Scott is very knowledgeable about siding and was happy to answer any questions we had on the initial consultation. The quote came in quickly and when we decided go move forward they were able to squeeze us in a lot faster than we assumed. When it came time to start Scott and Isaac were both very helpful and kept us informed of any hiccups and everything going on via group text and any questions we had they had answers. Of course a project of this magnitude isn’t cheap, but they are very competitive on pricing and have a top of the line product. We are very pleased with overall experience and would highly recommend. Before and after pictures are below.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Scott, Isaac, and the crew at Fairway Exterior. They were very thorough in communicating from beginning to the end. There were no questions left unanswered. The crew was respectful and so quick and efficient. The Hardie Board siding looks incredible and our home got a major upgrade, we are eager to show off the results. We are thrilled with this decision and will enjoy it for years to come. Thank you for all of your hard work!
