Fiber cement Siding Costs

The costs of fiber cement will vary from region to region but not so much that we cannot give you a good estimate of the cost for that region. When having a reside done and trying to get a quote you should note that they are including three main things into the estimate.

1) Tear Off - what siding material is currently on the house and how long will it take to tear off.

2) The cost of the siding itself. Most installers are paying between %.50 and $6.50 per board of primed fiber cement siding. They will measure your house to determine the number of squares of siding and then determine the number of pieces and make sure to including a waste factor of about 8% to 13% of the total size of the house. If you are measuring yourself also remember that the siding has an overlap of around 1 and 1/4 inches that goes under the next board up. This is important to remember since 1 and 1/4 inches is a substantial part of a board that is 8 and 1/4 in total height. You must factor in this into how many boards you will need as well.

3) The third cost is the cost to install the actuall matieral. This cost is the one that fluctuates the most from company to company. Many companies will charge enough to have contact installers that work for them to do it. This means that they make sure that they hire contactors and pay them with the labor quote for the siding install. Don't think of this as a bad thing as many times the installers will do it for much cheaper for these comapnies since they give such high amounts of work. A good company will have an insurance cost as well to make sure that they are covered in the event of a miustake to the house that could cost a substantial amount of money.
