Factors in a siding quote

The area of the walls themselves.
Material cost, lowest for vinyl and highest for fiber cement, with engineered wood between.
The number of windows, doors and corners to trim.
Stories, ladders and staging.
Tear-off and disposal of the old siding.
Whether it is an insurance repair or a straight replacement.

Making quotes comparable

Have each contractor write down the product line, colour and warranty.
Ask each one about house wrap and flashing.
Compare like for like; a lower total sometimes leaves out trim or tear-off.

Common questions

How long does a siding job take?

Long enough that you should see a schedule in writing. House size, product and weather set it, and wet weather stops work.

Is a permit required in Waukesha?

Check with the city through the contractor. A re-side alone and a job that changes insulation, sheathing or window openings may be treated differently. The quote should say which applies.

Will insurance pay for hail or wind damage?

Often, after the deductible, but not always for damage that is cosmetic only, and every policy reads differently. A contractor used to insurance work can write the estimate the adjuster needs.

Which material lasts?

NAHB's study of home component lifespans rates vinyl, fiber cement and engineered wood alike: as long as the house. They differ on price (vinyl lowest, fiber cement highest), weight and whether they need paint. Get the manufacturer's warranty for each in writing.
