This type of siding is generally less than the real wood siding commonly found in lumber yards or at home improvement stores such as Home Depot and Lowes.
Engineered wood siding is generally about 20% to 50% less than natural wood siding. So it is actually a bargain when compared to the benefits over real wood siding.

Shake siding costs a little more and comes in around $2.35 to $3.25 per sq ft.
