In Jacksonville, a permit and inspection are required for this work, which most jurisdictions restrict to licensed contractors. Treat the contractor's labor line item as a fixed cost rather than a place to look for savings.
Resale value consideration
A siding replacement in Jacksonville recoups roughly 68% of its cost at resale on average, according to typical remodeling ROI benchmarks — meaning the project narrows, but doesn't eliminate, its own cost if you sell soon after completing it.
