Vinyl & fiber cement install. Real market pricing, not a generic AI guess.
$4-13 per sq ft installed — vinyl cheapest, fiber cement priciest (more labor-intensive)
What actually moves the price
- •Material — vinyl vs. fiber cement, which needs field-painting/caulking labor vinyl doesn't
- •Number of corners and windows — trim linear footage scales with these, not just wall area
- •Whether existing siding needs to be removed and disposed of first
- •Number of stories — multi-story needs scaffolding/lift cost, not just ladder access
Where siding bids lose money
- •No wall-condition contingency — rotten sheathing is commonly found after tear-off
- •Undercharging trim labor on complex facades with many corners and windows
