Have you decided on CertainTeed vinyl siding for your Indiana home? And are you trying to figure out whether the extra $3,000 to $5,000 for Monogram’s thicker panels is worth it, or if MainStreet gives you everything you need at a lower price?
Siding is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your home, often costing $7,000 to $35,000+. Choosing between MainStreet and Monogram means weighing upfront cost against long-term performance, curb appeal, and durability.
At Hoel Roofing, we’ve installed hundreds of CertainTeed siding projects across Indiana over the past 9 years. We’re CertainTeed 5-Star Certified Contractors, which means we’ve completed specialized training and met strict quality standards. We’ve seen firsthand how MainStreet and Monogram perform in Indiana’s brutal winters, humid summers, and severe storms, and we know exactly what both options cost to install in 2026.
In this article, we discuss the real costs of CertainTeed MainStreet and Monogram siding in Indiana, including material and labor pricing, factors that affect your total project cost, when each option makes the most sense, and how to budget for your siding replacement.
By the end, you’ll know exactly what MainStreet and Monogram cost for your home size, which factors increase (or decrease) your total investment, and whether upgrading to Monogram is worth the extra money for your specific situation.
CertainTeed MainStreet Siding costs around $3.50 – $5.50 per square foot installed, which comes up to $8,000 – $11,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home.
On the other hand, CertainTeed Monogram Siding costs around $5.00 – $7.50 per square foot installed, which comes up to $10,000 – $15,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home.
Here’s what you can expect to pay for a complete siding replacement in Indiana by home size:
| Home Size | MainStreet (Installed) | Monogram (Installed) | Price Difference |
| 1,500 sq ft (Small ranch or cape) | $5,250–$8,250 | $7,500–$11,250 | $2,250–$3,000 |
| 2,000 sq ft (Average home) | $8,000–$11,000 | $10,000–$15,000 | $2,000–$4,000 |
| 2,500 sq ft (Larger two-story) | $8,750–$13,750 | $12,500–$18,750 | $3,750–$5,000 |
| 3,000 sq ft (Large home) | $10,500–$16,500 | $15,000–$22,500 | $4,500–$6,000 |
| 3,500+ sq ft (Very large home) | $12,250–$19,250 | $17,500–$26,250 | $5,250–$7,000 |
Important note: These prices typically include:

Your final price depends on more than just MainStreet vs. Monogram. Here are the factors that increase (or decrease) your total investment:
Siding is priced per square foot, so larger homes cost more. Simple math: a 3,000 sq ft home costs double what a 1,500 sq ft home costs.
If you’re building an addition, consider whether you want to re-side the entire home for a uniform look or just the addition.
Complex homes with multiple stories, dormers, gables, bay windows, or intricate trim require more labor, more cuts, and more waste. For example, a simple ranch home may cost $6–$8 per sq ft (MainStreet), while a two-story home with dormers and complex rooflines may cost $8–$10+ per sq ft (MainStreet)
This is why quotes vary widely between homes of similar size.
Both MainStreet and Monogram offer:
Premium colors cost more because richer pigments, superior fade resistance, and lower production volumes drive up material costs. Popular premium colors include deep reds, blues, and greens, blend colors (multi-tone effects), and ultra-white and designer neutrals
If your budget is tight, choose standard colors. Premium colors may add $1,000 to $3,000+ to total project cost.
Removing old siding adds $1.00 to $2.00 per square foot to your project. At Hoel Roofing, we NEVER install siding over existing siding (called a “layover”) because:
Proper installation requires a tear-off. But this cost is already included in our pricing above. Some contractors still recommend layovers because it’s convenient for them not to do tear-offs. So, once a contractor quickly recommends an overlay without thoroughly inspecting your roof deck, they’re prioritizing their convenience over your home’s long-term protection.
Once old siding is removed, hidden damage may be discovered:
Old siding may have hidden leaks, moisture intrusion, or pest damage that’s invisible until tear-off.
Get a pre-inspection to estimate repair likelihood. Homes over 30 years old or with visible exterior damage are at higher risk. Set aside 10–15% of your siding budget for potential repairs.
Most homeowners don’t have $15,000 to $30,000 sitting in savings, and that’s okay. Financing makes premium siding accessible without draining your emergency fund.

No, and neither should any reputable contractor. Layovers void manufacturer warranties, trap moisture, hide rot, and create uneven surfaces.
How long does CertainTeed siding last in Indiana?
MainStreet: 25–30 years with proper maintenance. Monogram: 30-40+ years with proper maintenance. Both come with limited lifetime warranties when installed by certified contractors.
No. Vinyl siding never needs painting. Both MainStreet and Monogram come with PermaColor™ fade protection, meaning the color lasts for decades without repainting.
Darker colors (reds, blues, dark greens) fade slightly faster than light colors, but CertainTeed’s PermaColor™ technology minimizes fading. Monogram’s premium colors have even better fade resistance.
Yes, but it’s uncommon. Some homeowners use Monogram on highly visible areas (front of home) and MainStreet on less visible areas (sides/back) to save money. However, color matching can be tricky.
