Choosing a Material for a Board and Batten Exterior
Board and batten is a profile, not a single material — you can execute it in vinyl at the budget end, engineered wood in the middle, or composite for the most durable option. Pricing follows whichever material you choose: $14,500 – $26,000 for a full vinyl reside, up to $34,000 – $60,000 for composite. Full-exterior board and batten is common on newer construction and renovations going for a modern farmhouse look; gable and accent-wall board and batten is common as a detail on an otherwise traditional lap-sided colonial.
