We recieved some damage from a hail storm and needed only a little over 150 sq ft of siding replaced,a decorative gable vent and 8" of aluminum fascia. The insurace gave us $616.91 w/depr to cover the job. You can imagine how upset I was when the job was almost $1,000.00 over. I would love to know if anyone can tell me who took me to the cleaners my insurance or my contractor. |

Hey people listen up.
If you want cheap prices expect the following things to happen.
1. Cheap materials means you will replace them in the near future.
2. A company that goes out of business because they don't have a profit.
3. A project which isn't finished because the contractor runs out of money.
4. A poor looking job because the contractor can't afford the proper tools or sharp blades for old saws.
5. A project which takes a lot longer than it is supposed to because they can't figure out a problem or they are skipping from job to job to find money to survive.
6. Workers who smoke, leave cigarette butts in your yard, show their fat bellies, steal your beer, and leave oil stains on your driveway.
I have more of these examples, but I hope you now get the point.
DON'T BUY THE CHEAP BID IT WILL COST YOU MORE IN THE END.
QUALITY CONTRACTORS HAVE REAL EXPENSES, RESPECT THEM AND THEIR PRICE, IT IS THAT WAY FOR A REASON |

I have had several quotes for siding and all are different. $18,000, $25,000 and $28,000. I do not know the exact sq ft. of the exterior. I have a 2 story house with a finished 3rd floor/attic. The interior sq. ft is 3,000. Is this a good price? |

Do they sell siding in sq feet or yards. How much is it a square. I have had estimates for 15000-22000..Most recently had one for 9912 for siding and replacement of gutters...is this normal. I have one more person to come and give me a quote and then we'll see |

I just accepted a contract for $7500 for removal and cleanup of old siding. Added insulation on exterior, vinyl siding and all the extras need plus seamless gutters. I got two quotes similar and many $10,000 and up! Its worth it to get as many estimates as possible! |

when you say sq ft price ,do you mean floor sq footage or actual sq footage of the siding itself? |

I used to be a subcontractor in Metarie,LA 5 yrs ago , in my exp back then we charged $80- $120+ per sqaure just for labor , and $6- $10 labor per linear ft. of sophit and fascia , Now add overhead and cost of materials + recent inflation flucuations , and siding price difference per state and that would be about what you want your total cost to be , anything else being extra , hope this helps |

My secondary job is siding. In North Carolina, I typically charge about $350 for 100 sq ft. And I will use any material less than an .042 thickness. I do great work and make money. Hope this helps |

I recently received a quote for a 1 story 1500 sq ft home for vinyl siding no gutters or soffit @ $9,900. I know i can find cheaper but winter is here and budget turned tighter, so will have to wait. Good luck to all, and i hope my estimate helps you search for a better one for yourself. |

I looks like from other comments that this bid is not out of line but according you the websites estimation it is. This company claims it has a life time warranty. It just still seems like a lot of money. We trying to decide if we should just repaint our metal siding or bite the bullet and get the vinyl siding. |

That quote of 22,672 was for 24 sq of siding,soffit,fascia and gutters. It also included for those of you who just look at price fifteen replacement windows. If you break it down 15 windows @400.00 = 6000.00
22672.-6000.= 16672/24sq=695.per square for norandex siding if polar wall or generations series siding in a one step (laminated insulation) process its a fair price |

I rec'd a few estimates for vinyl siding. They seem to be all over the place...the low end at about $7500, the high end $18679. I have a ranch style home, but my entire house is not vinyl, I also have some parts brick. My quote was to remove the current vinyl, put up gutters, replace the soffits, facsia (sp*). It just seems like a very hig price. |

Some materials which look a lot like vinyl siding are no longer classified as vinyl. Prices can vary by a factor of five to one. A cheap Alcoa panel compared to a Crane or Nailite shingle pattern. Cranes portfolio cost three times what a Reynolds builder panel cost and is worth every penny of it. Check warranty before you buy any siding. Look at exclusions. Many exclude damage from sunlight and extremes of temperature. Installation cost vary by state. By brother pays his men in Ill. 45% less than we pay on West Coast. |

I haven�t sided a house myself in a while. But back in the 80's and through the beginning of the 90's a small contractor could figure $100 a square for materials and $100- 150 for profit. I have seen those numbers double due to the cost increases in material and labor but $940 per square does seem high - even with gutters. I look for numbers somewhere around $450 a square on the low side and $650 a square on the high side depending on the size and complexity of the job (more then one story � staging setup and moving around- trim detail)and overhead of the contractor. |
