How these numbers are made

Source: City of Saint Paul building and trade permits (the City's old approved-permits file up to June 2025, and the City's PAULIE permit system since September 2025), with the contractor named on each permit. The window is October 2023 through September 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.

Usual is the middle permit: half were filed for less, half for more. Only permits with a filed value count; a value of $0 or none is left out.

The spread is approximate: we keep seven points of each firm's own range of filed values, not every permit, and pool them.

Common questions

  • How many quotes should I get for a siding job in Saint Paul?At least three. In the permit record the middle half of Saint Paul siding firms usually file between $11,000 and $24,500 a job, so two ordinary firms can sit 2.2 times apart and both be normal for Saint Paul. A third quote shows which one is the outlier. Filed values are what contractors wrote on permits, not quotes, so use them to judge the spread, not to price your own job.
  • What range is normal for siding jobs in Saint Paul?Half of permits were filed between $8,800 and $24,000; 8 in 10 between $5,200 and $34,100. These are approximate, pooled from each firm's own spread.
  • How much do siding contractors charge in Saint Paul?The usual siding job is filed at $15,000; the middle half of firms usually file between $11,000 and $24,500. The 10 firms with the most permits in the last 12 months usually file $16,373, more than the usual. See every firm's usual job →
  • Why is this different from the per-square-foot prices I see online?Online prices are quoted per square foot. A filed value is one number for the whole job on one permit, often many square feet plus the work around them, and the Saint Paul file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $15,000 into a price per square foot.
  • Do bigger houses get bigger bills?In the file, yes for the firms: those working on the upper third of homes by value usually file $15,000, the lower third $14,000. That is firms, not single jobs.
  • Where does this data come from?City of Saint Paul building and trade permits (the City's old approved-permits file up to June 2025, and the City's PAULIE permit system since September 2025), with the contractor named on each permit, read October 2026. How the records work in Saint Paul →
