11 a sq. for lower siding, I'm sorry the question has been asked so many time's here, and nobody answers it. I just feel like if any one wants to get the low ballers out of the equation, then bring them up to the same pricing standards. If someone giving a low ball knows I'm charging 11 cent a sq. foot to clean siding and he's charging 7 cents, he will bring his price up simply because he now knows he can make more. Then he will have to meet my standards of cleanliness. My husband and I have been in the roofing and siding biz for years. Pretty much the bids are close around here, because everyone knows about where to bid, yes there are low ballers, but they do half a job ask for half the money and never come back. Ran into it all the time. Any way the difference between companies lies in the expediency of the job done, the cleanliness of the ground after the job is done, and overall salemanship and insurance. Quality is the name of the game in every other contractors bids. I have no competition here that I can find in the phone book, by talking to people, or even find a contractor web sites, nothing. Being in siding and roofing though we have cleaned alot of it, and what I want to know is are we charging too much or too little. What are the averages. If there were someone in my area I would call him up and just have him come out to my house and give me a bid instead of asking those of you who have the knowledge, but there is no one. So I humbly submit this question, what is the average per sq. foot for siding, and is it different for soffits?
