What we do
Pick the board first. The rest of the questions follow from it.
Vinyl and fiber cement are not two prices for one job, they are two jobs. One hangs loose on a nail hem so it can move; the other is blind-nailed tight, cut with a dust saw and placed by two people. So they are two separate forms on this page, each with its own rate, rather than one form with an upgrade fee that would mean nothing on a wall we have not measured.
Priced on this pageVinyl and insulated vinyl siding
The volume job around here, and what most of these subdivisions want back. Standard lap, premium lap, shake or board-and-batten on the gables, or foam-backed insulated — all off one rate of $4.40 a square foot of wall.
Priced on this pageFiber cement, engineered wood and cedar
Heavier board, longer life, a different crew day, and its own base rate of $8.60 a square foot. Engineered wood, fiber cement primed or factory-finished, shingle panel, or cedar stained on site.
In every numberTrim wrap, soffit and fascia
Every window and door wrapped in bent coil, vented soffit, wrapped fascia and the frieze where the wall meets the roof. Asked about explicitly on both forms, because a per-square-foot headline never includes them.
In every numberTear-off and the dumpster
One layer or two, vinyl, aluminium or nailed clapboard. The dumpster goes on the driveway, the tip fee is ours, and a magnet goes over the grass before we leave.
Shown, never assumedSheathing and rot
Nobody can see behind your siding, including us. We only price the damage you already know about; anything we find gets photographed, priced by the sheet and agreed by you before it is covered.
Site visitStucco, stone, storm damage and asbestos shingle
Stucco and EIFS, stone veneer, a storm claim, and the hard grey shingle on pre-1980 houses that is usually asbestos cement. We come and look at those rather than quote them off a form.
