Pricing

The Denver Siding team is proud to be able to offer our clients a signature service of our company–the Price Match Guarantee. We want everyone that we work with to feel fully secure in the fact that they are paying a fair price for the work we do. In order to make this possible, we pledge to match any offer that you receive from another insured and licensed siding contractor for the same job.

We know that all of the construction lingo can be a bit difficult to comprehend if you aren’t in the industry, so in order to make things a bit easier on you, we’ve compiled a break down of the costs and metrics.

*The price of each material includes the cost of installation, ancillary materials, and clean up.

When you decide to renovate your home, or build a brand new one, one of the most daunting tasks is seeking out, vetting, and hiring a contractor. Most people hiring a contractor are relatively unfamiliar with the field and it can be difficult to know what questions to ask. In order to ease this burden, we’ve got a few queries to get you started.

Some questions that you might want to ask a potential contractor include:

• When did you first become a licensed contractor?
• Is your license current and valid in this region?
• Are there any circumstances under which I might end up paying significantly more than the quoted price?
• Does the quote leave any wiggle room for unforeseen circumstances or issues?
• Does it include site cleanup?
• What is your main area of business? Is it siding or something else?
• What siding materials do you generally work with? What materials are you confident handling?
• When do you anticipate beginning this project?
• What is the estimated duration of this project?

When you have conducted a few interviews, compare notes and decide which contractor is the best fit for you. Once you decide, the next step is to make a proposal and draw up a contract. It should be as detailed as possible, including a full list of the services required and a set and all-encompassing cost.

SIDING MATERIAL COST COMPARISON

No matter what your budget is looking like, there is a siding solution for you. From vinyl to cedar, fiber cement to aluminum, the options never seem to end. Do your best to take stock of the cost benefit analysis–the higher quality and more durable materials do tend to be more expensive, so go in with a list of desires and see where it is that you want to direct your funds.

A few of the things to keep in mind when looking for a new siding material:

Does the material require any work post-installation? (This includes items such as painting and staining, and protecting against rot and termites.)
What is the warranty offered by the producer? How does this reflect on the product itself?
How will this particular material fare in the weather that it will be undergoing? Try to consider all seasons, not just the one that you are in when making this decision.
Do you like the way that it looks? Aesthetics are, after all, quite important

SIDING INSTALLATION COST

The cost of siding materials and installation tends to vary from region to region. Supply and demand play a huge role in this fluctuation, as does the company-by-company metrics of experience and popularity. On average, the installation of new siding runs up a tab of somewhere between six and twelve dollars per square foot.

Vinyl, arguably the most workable material and certainly the most affordable in terms of the material cost straight from the factory, falls toward the lower end of this spectrum. Cedar siding, a high-cost, high-value option falls on the other end. Fiber cement, one of the most popular and durable materials on the market, tends to all somewhere in the middle.

Sticker shock is a common experience when looking into the more expensive siding options, and it can be very tempting to try installing your new siding by yourself in order to save on the cost of labor. While this option is certainly cheaper in the short term, it tends to cost you down the road. Poorly installed materials are prone to leakage, impact damage, and rapid deterioration. If you want to see your home well protected, it is best to call in an experienced professional for the job. If you would like a free quote for such services, give Denver Siding a call.
