Prior to calling a siding expert, homeowners should first consider planning a replacement budget, so they can get a rough estimate of how much they should save up first.
To plan your budget efficiently, DryTech Roofing shares some of the factors that are usually included in a siding budget:
-
The Cost of Materials
Not all siding materials are the same. Some of the most popular ones include vinyl siding and fiber cement which provide both energy-efficient benefits and a stylish finish that gives your home an artistic touch. If you are unsure of which material to choose, weigh in the pros and cons of each option.
Fiber Cement Siding
-
Mimics the look of traditional wood siding
-
Made from sustainable materials
-
Easier to repair in case of weather damage
Vinyl Siding
-
Durable, affordable and quick to install
-
Considered the most popular home exterior in the United States
-
More durable than fiber cement
-
Requires less maintenance than cement
If you need more information, you can also ask your chosen siding expert which material works best for your home.
-
Labor Costs
Homeowners should verify the payment terms with the contractor since not every company charges by the project. Remember to ask whether services such as inspection and estimates are included, so you can have a general idea of how much it’s going to cost.
-
Other Additional Costs
Certain additional work like removing and disposing old siding materials may be seperate from installing and repairing fees. Houses that require repairs on the insulation systems may be subjected to additional charge, depending on the company’s range of services offered.
