Frequently asked questions

Does this estimate include labor costs?

No. NailIt estimates materials only. You are doing the installation work yourself. If you hire a contractor, labor costs will be additional.

What factors affect metal siding material costs?

Panel type (standing seam vs. corrugated), metal gauge, color finishes, home square footage, local material availability, and regional pricing variations all impact your total materials cost.

Do I need underlayment and sheathing repair?

Yes. Proper underlayment prevents moisture damage, and you may need to repair or replace damaged sheathing before installing new siding. Both are essential materials to budget for.
