Home Size Impacts the Cost of New Siding Installation
The size of your home is the most important factor when determining the cost of new siding installation in Chicago. You can determine a rough estimate by calculating it yourself. In order to figure out a rough estimate, measure the height and width of each side of your home. Multiply the height times the width to get the square footage. Measure the other areas not included in the sides, such as gables and dormers. Add these all together to have your answer of square footage for the home. Divide this number by 100 to get the squares of siding needed.
