Every siding project in Hudson, WI comes down to scope, materials, and existing conditions. The ranges below show what homeowners in the area typically pay, the factors that move the number, and exactly how we run the work from start to finish.

Hudson sits on the Wisconsin side of the St. Croix River directly across from the Minnesota line, and a large share of the housing is tied to people who work in the Twin Cities and live over the border. That mix gives the town both an older river town core and a steady band of newer subdivisions around it, so two Hudson addresses can call for very different work. Being on the Wisconsin side also means the permits and inspections run under Wisconsin rules even though the commute points west, which is a detail homeowners here are used to and out of town crews sometimes miss. Hudson's roughly 6,700 housing units make it one of the smaller markets we serve, and Census data puts ownership at about 66 percent and the median home at right around 1997, a decade or so newer than Stillwater just across the river. NOAA counts 88 hail events near Hudson over five years against only 22 damaging wind events, a hail heavy storm profile compared to the wind heavy counts we see in some Minnesota markets, which is part of why we check for bruised shingles and dented gutters here even on roofs that look untouched from the ground. The 2023 American Community Survey shows Hudson split into two eras more sharply than almost anywhere else we work. 16.6 percent of its housing units predate 1940, the old river town core, while 44.3 percent were built in 2000 or later, and the decades in between are thin. About one unit in five is a single family attached home. On the storm side, NOAA's peak months near Hudson are May, July and September, and 2022 alone produced 62 of the 88 hail events in the five year record, with stones up to 3 inches and a strongest thunderstorm gust of 74 knots, about 85 miles per hour. Those two facts point the same way: an older Hudson roof is carrying decades of wear and at least one serious hail season, and a newer one may never have been inspected since it was installed. Permits depend on which Hudson you live in. The City of Hudson's own hail damage guide says five separate municipalities share a Hudson address and zip code, the City of Hudson, the Village of North Hudson, and the towns of Hudson, Troy and St. Joseph, and each handles permits its own way. Inside the city, municipal code 106 6 D means no building permit is issued and no inspection is done for replacing roofing, siding, gutters, windows or doors, and the city suggests keeping a record of the install date and the make and model of what went on. The work still has to meet the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code, SPS 321.28 for roofs and SPS 321.24 for exterior walls. It is worth confirming the municipality from the St. Croix County land records before the work starts, so nobody finds out about a permit halfway through the job.
Per American Community Survey data the median home in Hudson was built around 1997, which makes the typical house about 29 years old. The market covers about 6,696 homes, and the median value sits near $355,000. That makes Hudson largely late century construction, typically engineered sheathing with venting close to current practice. These homes are now reaching the end of their first or second round of exterior work, which is the normal time for it rather than a sign that anything was done wrong. Original vinyl and hardboard from this period is often at the end of its service life while the framing behind it is perfectly fine. A large share of occupied homes here are rented, so scheduling and approvals often run through an owner or a property manager rather than the person who answers the door. We are used to that, and we keep both parties on the same email so nothing stalls. Permits and inspections here run under Wisconsin rules and the local building department, and we pull what the job needs rather than leaving that to you. Those numbers are the starting point for how we plan siding projects in Hudson. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.

Siding in Hudson, WI faces freeze and thaw cycles, wind driven rain, and snow that test every seam. Cracked, faded, or warped panels and siding that pulls away from the house let moisture and cold air in, which drives up heating bills and can lead to hidden damage. New siding seals the envelope, improves curb appeal, and is best installed spring through fall. We inspect for moisture behind the existing siding before we quote.
Freedom Exteriors works across the Hudson area, including:
Repair makes sense for isolated damage on siding that is otherwise sound and not too old.
