Board and batten siding costs $7,500 to $21,300 for most homeowners, with Angi publishing a $12,800 national average for a 2,000-square-foot home.1 HomeAdvisor separately publishes a $10,600 average within an $8,500 to $27,300 normal range,2 and Fixr publishes a $14,000 national average within a $7,500 to $23,000 range.3 Prices below are national averages*.
