Siding Price Factors
Siding prices are calculated based on a few different metrics: ` Size of your home/condominium – more square footage means more siding which means the more it will cost.
` Type of siding – choosing a lower cost vinyl siding will cost significantly less than having a mason come and brick the exterior of the building.
` The architectural details – a plain, rectangular building will cost less than a building with gables, multiple corners, and other interesting (but expensive) features.
` The cost of local labor – it can be much higher in metropolitan areas.
` Removal/disposal of old siding. Disposal fees can be high.
Cladding is the best line of defense between you and the outside world.
Protect Your Investment
As with many building materials, those with higher initial costs, such as stucco and fiber-cement, have the greatest durability. Per year of expected life, the costs of wood and vinyl are roughly equivalent (excluding maintenance costs). Fiber-cement board’s cost per year of expected life tends to be significantly less than other options.
Leaks are most likely to manifest at critical junctures in the building assembly: at corners, or penetrations (windows, vents, etc.), or where two dissimilar materials meet. These are not always the easiest locations for homeowners to monitor.
Water damage can be a slow and insidious process, often underway long before a resident becomes aware of the issue.
