The Siding Calculator Tool is Invaluable in Estimating Costs of a Home Remodel

Any homeowner looking to replace their home’s siding is fortunate to have the invaluable Siding Calculator Tool available at SidingMagazine.com. This tool will step through the necessary calculations to provide them with a sound estimate of the cost of a siding replacement project. This tool will also give valuable tips on saving money on the remodel. Equally important, the calculator provides the total cost of the job so the homeowner will have a ballpark figure of what the siding remodel total cost will be.

The instructions on calculating the price of siding are clear and concise. The home remodeler will be able to use the information to make a decision on the materials necessary to get the attractive appearance desired for the home. As an added bonus, the increased value of the home will cover most of the cost of the siding remodel.

The calculation process is simple and entails the following steps to complete:

Step One

The first step of the calculation tool displays images of typical home architectural styles. The homeowner selects the image most closely resembling the architecture of the home. This gives the calculator an indication of the size of the home, thus the quantity of siding the project will require.

Once the style is selected, a map of the United States appears. Clicking on the region of the home’s location informs the calculator of the type of siding that best suits the region’s climate.

Step Two

The calculator will then ask the homeowner to select the style of siding to be used—perhaps clapboard or shingle, among others. The siding style is one of the cost variables in the price of siding.

Step Three

This step calls for the selection of the siding material desired and will offer the materials best suited to the climate of the home’s location.

Step Four

The last step asks if shutters are involved in the siding project.

Calculate

Clicking the calculate button will result in the estimated cost of the new siding project based on the factors entered in steps one through four. The magic of the Siding Calculator Tool does not end here though. By moving the bar from one end of the scale to the other, alternative siding products are displayed, either raising or lowering the estimated costs of the siding project. Therefore, if the original selections for materials and styles of siding are beyond the scope of the budget, the cost estimate can be made to fit the budget constraints by moving through the many siding styles to arrive at an affordable and attractive siding solution.

This estimate is valuable information for the homeowner to have when contacting a contractor. Not only are they much more aware of what the project will cost as well as their own preferences as to style, material and siding types; they are armed with enough cost information to know if the contractor is giving them a fair price or an inflated one.

SidingMagazine.com includes a page where the homeowner can look up a local contractor who will provide a free estimate for their siding remodel project. This site is a must for the homeowner who wants to add value to his home by enhancing its curb appeal with new and attractive siding.
