Questions homeowners ask
Why are my siding bids so far apart?
Usually material grade and hidden scope. Vinyl versus fiber cement can nearly double the number, and one bid may include the wrap, flashing, and rot allowance the other leaves out. Our review lines the estimates up side by side.
What should a siding estimate include?
Removal and disposal, the weather barrier, flashing at every opening, trim and accessories by name, a per-unit rot repair price, the exact product line, and both labor and material warranties.
