Learn more about the true costs of common decking and siding materials.
When you look at siding and decking costs, there's more to consider than meets the eye. Some key pricing considerations go beyond the basics.
PROFESSIONAL TIPS TO ACCURATELY PRICE DECKING & SIDING PROJECTS
-
Be careful not to look only at the price of the decking and siding materials alone. Find out the total costs for all the accessories it will take to complete your entire decking or siding project.
-
Consider all the labor costs (and also any hidden labor costs)
-
Is there going to be a lot of waste material? If so, plan your purchasing quantities accordingly, or your final cost is likely to be higher than planned.
-
Learn about the quality of the decking or siding materials you are considering. If something looks "cheap", it often is cheap...and not necessarily inexpensive. Doing some research is a great way to learn more about your siding or decking options.
-
If you want to choose high quality building materials that will last a long time and still look and perform well for many years, you may want to look beyond just the initial cost to buy the decking or siding materials. Life Cycle costs analysis often reveals the true long term costs and hidden expenses of decking and siding materials.
-
Have you ever bought an "inexpensive" item and later regretted your decision because the item broke or didn't last very long? Would you have been better off buying a higher quality item that looked "more expensive" at the time.
