SidingLedger is a **free matching service**. We help homeowners plan siding projects and connect with licensed, insured, and bonded siding contractors near them. We are **not** a siding contractor, general contractor, or licensed construction professional.
SidingLedger is not a contractor
SidingLedger provides general information and a free way to connect with local siding professionals through get matched. We do not perform siding installation, siding repair, inspections, engineering, code enforcement, permit pulling, insurance claim adjusting, or project supervision.
Information on this site is for general educational purposes only. It is not construction advice, structural advice, legal advice, financial advice, or tax advice. Every home is different. Local building rules, climate, material choice, and site conditions can change what a project needs.
If you hire a contractor, your agreement is between you and that contractor, not with SidingLedger. Please read all contractor paperwork carefully before signing.
Cost figures are estimates, not quotes
Any pricing on this site is a typical per-square-foot range or general estimate. It is not a quote, bid, contract price, or guarantee.
Your real project price depends on factors such as:
- home size and wall area
- one-story vs. two-story height
- material type and trim details
- removal and disposal of old siding
- repair needs under the siding
- windows, doors, corners, and other layout details
- local labor rates, permits, and site access
For that reason, you should always get written estimates directly from contractors. Review the scope, materials, timeline, cleanup, warranty terms, and payment schedule before you pay a deposit. You can also review our terms and privacy policy for more information about how this service works.
Safety, permits, and code compliance
Siding work can involve ladders, heights, cutting tools, dust, and hidden moisture damage. Safety planning on the job site is the responsibility of the contractor performing the work.
Permit requirements and code rules vary by city, county, and state. In many areas, the homeowner and the contractor are responsible for following local permit and building code requirements. SidingLedger does not promise that a permit is or is not required for your project, and we do not pull permits.
Before work starts, ask the contractor who will handle permits, inspections, debris removal, and protection for landscaping, windows, and walkways. Get the answer in writing.
Verify every contractor yourself
Even if a contractor is introduced through a matching service, you should still do your own checks. Always verify that the siding contractor is licensed, insured, and bonded if required in your area. Ask for the legal business name and confirm the license status with the appropriate state or local agency.
Also ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and verify that the policies are current. Make sure the contract clearly lists the project scope, materials, estimated start timing, payment terms, and warranty details.
Be careful with storm-chasers or anyone who pressures you to sign the same day, pay a large deposit in cash, or rely on verbal promises only. Slow down, compare written estimates, and never sign a blank or incomplete contract.
Important: SidingLedger is not the company doing the siding work. We are a free service that helps you find contractors. Prices on this site are only estimates. Your final cost may be higher or lower. You must check the contractor's license, insurance, and bond yourself, and make sure permits and code rules are followed.
