If you’re trying to cover up damaged vinyl siding with some other material, properly repairing the damage is likely just as easy. Avoid covering up damaged siding under most circumstances. Water and mold can easily get trapped behind it and cause more harm than the damage already there. 

If you need a fast, temporary repair until you have time to fix the damage properly, use a generous amount of caulk or spray foam insulation to fill the gap, knowing that you’ll need to remove the material later. 

On average, siding repair costs about $900, ranging from about $360 to $1,450. The largest cost factors of this project include the type of siding, location, the extent of the damage, and the time of year. Repairing different types of siding typically cost  as follows:
