What to Include in a Siding Estimate
Siding projects are highly visible — the entire exterior of the house changes — so homeowners are especially price-sensitive and comparison-shop aggressively. A detailed estimate wins jobs.
- Specify the siding product by name, style, and color (e.g., "James Hardie HardiePlank, Arctic White, 8.25" exposure"). Homeowners research products online and want to know exactly what they're getting.
- Price siding by the square foot or per square (100 sq ft). Include trim, J-channel, corner posts, and starter strip as separate lines — these add up to 15-20% of the material cost.
- Always quote soffit and fascia separately. Many homeowners assume it's included; calling it out prevents scope disputes later.
- If you're removing old siding, show tear-off labor and disposal as its own line. Layering new siding over old is cheaper but has trade-offs — note which approach you're pricing.
- Include scaffolding or lift rental for two-story homes. This is a real cost that shouldn't come out of your margin.
- Add a warranty section noting both the manufacturer's product warranty and your labor warranty. Siding warranties can last 30-50 years, which is a selling point.

Common Questions
How do I estimate siding costs?+
Measure the exterior wall area in square feet, subtract windows and doors, then add 10% for waste and cuts. Price siding material per square foot, add trim pieces (J-channel, corners, starter strip), and calculate labor based on your crew's production rate. Include tear-off, disposal, and scaffolding costs. Most vinyl siding installs run $3-7/sq ft installed; fiber cement runs $6-13/sq ft.
What markup should I charge for siding work?+
Siding contractors typically mark up 30-45% over direct costs. The markup covers overhead, insurance, warranty service, and profit. Fiber cement and engineered wood projects command higher margins than vinyl because they require more skill and specialized tools.
What should a siding estimate include?+
A professional siding estimate should include the siding product (brand, style, color), house wrap, all trim pieces (J-channel, corners, starter), soffit and fascia if included, tear-off and disposal, scaffolding, labor, permits, and warranty terms. Show each as its own line item.
How do I write a professional siding estimate?+
Organize by material and labor sections. Specify the exact product you'll install. List every trim and accessory piece — homeowners hate surprises. Include photos of the product if possible. Add warranty details and a project timeline. Use DocJoist to generate a clean PDF that looks as professional as the work you do.
