Example figures for a typical siding repair and match job. Not a quote. Every line on the estimate came from the notes above. Nothing was added.

What to spell out on a siding repair and match bid

  • The area and where it is, so the whole wall is not expected.
  • That the profile is matched as close as available, and discontinued profiles may differ.
  • Paint match as best effort against weathered siding.
  • What is behind it, and the rate if the sheathing is rotten too.

Rotten sheathing is the surprise. Put a per-sheet price on the bid and say photos are sent before it is replaced.

Questions siding contractors ask about this bid

Paint the whole wall?

Offer it as an option. A patch painted alone on a sun-faded wall will show.

Deposit?

Half covers the material, which is bought for this repair.

Is this a real quote?

No. The numbers are example figures for a typical job so you can see how a complete estimate reads. Your price is yours.

Can my customer sign this on their phone?

Yes. An estimate sent from BidWriter Pro opens as a link. The customer reads it, types their name, signs with a finger, and pays the deposit by card. You get an alert when they open it and when they sign.
