Frequently asked questions

Does NailIt's estimate include labor costs?

No. NailIt calculates materials only. Since you're doing the work yourself, all costs are for the supplies you purchase—wood, fasteners, paint, and sealant.

What factors affect wood siding material costs?

Square footage of your home, wood type (cedar costs more than pine), paint/stain quality, regional material availability, and whether you need underlayment or flashing all impact your total materials budget.

Can I use NailIt to compare siding materials?

Yes. Adjust your material selections (cedar vs. pine, pre-primed vs. raw) to see how different wood types and finishes change your materials cost, helping you find the best DIY option for your budget.
