PRICES AND COSTS OF VINYL SIDING
 Vinyl siding requires
skilled installers because the long planks of vinyl siding cannot be nailed
tight to the wall. Installing siding on your home requires a different
hammering technique than standard construction carpentry. Therefore, this
is a difficult project for a handy homeowner to do.
Typically, putting new insulated and
cold/wind resistant vinyl siding on your home will cost about 2 1/2 to 3 times
the cost of having a painting contractor prep an repaint your home. The
nice benefit is the vinyl siding carries a lifetime warranty, with some
limitations. Painting means you have to touch up your trim every 3-4 years
and repaint every 8 years or so. Typically, a 2,000 square foot home will
cost between $8,000 to $10,000.
When Bruce gives homeowners a bid
for doing a "makeover" of the exterior of their home, he expects to cover the
house from the roof to the foundation, including the facia, soffit, siding, trim
and accent accessories, and color coordinated seamless steel gutters. He
also covers the wood around your doors (jambs and lintels) including your garage
doors. Also, we can wrap your porch posts, etc. We want to cover
every paintable surface on the outside of your home so you can truly "never need
to paint again" or climb on a ladder to paint hard to reach and high wood
surfaces.
Bruce's work for his homeowner
clients greatly increases the "R" factor or resistance to heat or cold
penetration into the home by using thick foam backer board and rolled Du PontŪ
Tyvek sheeting to restrict the infiltration of outside temperatures into your
home.
We strongly recommend homeowners
take a camera and two rolls of film and spend a few hours driving around the
neighborhood or other neighborhoods and take photographs of homes similar in
shape to theirs that have vinyl siding. We recommend you take pictures of
color combinations you like, styles of trim or accents, and styles of the way
the siding is laid on the home. Also, think of what the color of your roof
is, when it will need a new roof and what color you will want the new roof to
coordinate with your new siding and trim colors.
