Homeowners like its brick siding like durability, style and improved coatings that reduce chalking. It is an eco-friendly alternative to vinyl siding as well, containing recycled material, and it can be recycled again when removed.<\/p>\n According to Remodeling Magazine\u2019s annual Cost to Value review, building material like aluminum siding has an ROI of about 76%. For example, if you spend $17,000 on aluminum siding, your home\u2019s market value will get a boost of about $12,900. Siding ROI is higher than most interior and exterior renovation projects.<\/p>\n This aluminum siding cost estimate<\/strong><\/em> details cost factors, retail cost for the materials and installation labor costs. The goal is to allow you to develop a clear idea of what your costs will be before you get aluminum siding price estimates from local contractors.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve gathered aluminum siding estimates from reliable sites for you to compare. And there\u2019s space below for homeowners to submit their siding costs. Feel free to return to Business Finance News to share your aluminum siding cost once siding is installed.<\/p>\n These factors determine whether your cost will be less than $6.00 or closer to $10.00 per square foot.<\/p>\n The only way to know how these factors will affect cost is to get written estimates from several local siding installers. While choosing the cheapest estimate might be attractive, it is important to be sure the installing crew is licensed, experienced and has a track record of quality installation.<\/p>\n You can get a ballpark estimate of how much siding you\u2019ll need by doing your own calculations.\u00a0The basic calculation is linear feet times the height of the walls plus gables.<\/p>\n Linear Feet:<\/strong> Measure the footprint of your home. The measurements are on the blueprint if you have it. A home 60\u00d732 has a footprint of 60+32+60+32 or 184 linear feet.<\/p>\n Wall Height:<\/strong> Take the linear feet and multiple it by exterior wall height. For a home with 9-foot walls, the calculation for our example is 184 x 9 = 1,656 square feet of siding. There\u2019s no need to try to subtract the area of windows and doors. That extra siding is needed to account for trimming and waste.<\/p>\n Gables:<\/strong> The area of a gable is Base x Height x .5, the area of a triangle.\u00a0 In our example, the equation might be 32 x 9 x .5 = 144 square feet for each gable end.<\/p>\n That would bring the total to 1,656 + 288 for two gable ends = 1,944 total square feet of siding.<\/p>\n Trim is calculated by measuring the linear feet required around windows, doors and the roof line plus the totals for all inside and outside corners. Note:<\/strong> Our cost estimates include siding, trim and all installation accessories.<\/p>\n Many siding manufacturers have siding calculators on their site, like this one from Mitten, that walk you through the same basic calculations and do the math for you.<\/p>\n On most jobs, materials account for 60% to 65% of the total cost with labor making up the rest.<\/p>\n Here are retail cost ranges for siding materials.<\/p>\n Like vinyl siding, aluminum siding is designed to mimic the look of wood siding. It can be smooth, like sanded wood, or textured to replicate natural wood grain.\u00a0Baked-on finishes and acrylic and PVC coatings have improved in the last decade for better resistance to chalking and fading. Unlike exterior house painting, once aluminum is on your home, you don\u2019t have to worry about paint for many years, if at all.<\/p>\n A handful of brands dominate aluminum siding sales. Cheap brands are sold at Menards and other retail building material stores.<\/p>\n Mid-grade and premium brands are typically sold wholesale directly to contractors. This makes it difficult or impossible for homeowners to purchase it without also setting up installation through a siding contractor.<\/p>\n Here are the leading brands:<\/p>\n Pro installation cost varies by who does the job. In short, this is what you can save by DIY, a topic discussed next.<\/p>\n The size of the crew, the size of your home and the complexity of the work will determine how long it takes to side a home.<\/p>\n Home size, levels and number of corners plus the size of the crew are the factors that will determine how long it takes to install aluminum siding.<\/p>\n A two-person crew can install 35-45 square feet per hour, or up to 450 square feet in a 10-hour day.<\/p>\n Your schedule for a 2-person crew will look something like this:<\/p>\n Installing aluminum siding is a moderately difficult project. We recommend pro installation to ensure the best-looking job.<\/p>\n For those that want to save on labor costs, it is a good idea to work with an experienced installer on a job or two before tackling your own house. Aluminum siding installation takes a variety of skills for the work to look professional.<\/p>\n The challenges include:<\/p>\n If you\u2019re inclined to install the siding, follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions carefully. You might want to start in a less-visible area and be prepared to make a few mistakes while getting the hang of it. Check and double-check your starter strip and first piece with your level before going further.<\/p>\n Protection for your eyes and ears if using a power saw to cut the metal and for your hands is essential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $7.45 Per Sqft Installed The average cost to have aluminum siding installed is $7.45 per square foot with quality siding are professional installation.
