SIDING ESTIMATING.

## Siding Estimates in Atlanta Move Fast — Your Bid Process Should Too Atlanta's housing stock is a mixed bag. You've got 1960s brick ranch conversions in Decatur where owners want fiber cement over original wood. You've got vinyl-clad flip projects stacking up in East Point and College Park. You've got high-end James Hardie jobs in Buckhead where the HOA demands color approval before you pull a permit. Every job type prices differently, and if you're still building estimates in a spreadsheet, you're leaving time and margin on the table. Estimate.Pro is built for siding contractors who run real volume. The median time from walkthrough to sendable bid is 8 minutes. That's not a marketing number — it's the median across users in the platform. --- ## What Makes Atlanta Siding Work Different **Humidity and substrate risk.** Atlanta sits in a mixed-humid climate (ASHRAE Climate Zone 3A). Moisture management is not optional. When you're bidding fiber cement or engineered wood over existing sheathing, your scope needs to account for housewrap upgrades, flashing at windows and penetrations, and WRB continuity. Estimate.Pro's AI scope builder pulls these line items automatically based on the material type you select. You don't have to remember every item — the system flags the ones that belong. **Permit requirements inside Atlanta city limits.** The City of Atlanta requires a building permit for full siding replacements on structures over a certain square footage. Fulton County has its own permit desk for unincorporated areas, and DeKalb County applies separate fee schedules. These aren't the same office. If you bid without accounting for the correct jurisdiction's permit cost, your margin takes the hit. Estimate.Pro lets you store permit fee data by jurisdiction in your saved material cost workspace so the number drops into every estimate automatically. **Labor rate variance across the metro.** Siding labor in the Atlanta metro runs higher than state averages because of sustained residential construction demand across the northern suburbs — Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Woodstock — and ongoing infill development intown. Your crew costs in Midtown are not the same as a job in Newnan. You can store separate labor rate presets in Estimate.Pro and apply them by project location. --- ## How the Estimate Comes Together Walk the job with the app open. On supported devices, ONNX-assisted live AR measurement captures wall dimensions as you move. Camera and photo measurements are flagged as estimates so you know what's field-verified and what's approximate before you send the bid. The AI scope-of-work generator takes the surfaces you measured and the material you selected — vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, or aluminum — and builds a line-item scope that includes removal, disposal, sheathing inspection, housewrap, starter strips, trim, caulking, and fasteners. You review it, adjust anything specific to this job, and send. No subscription required to get started. The free tier is free forever, no credit card. When your volume justifies it, Pro is $39 per seat per month and drops the Stripe Connect platform fee from 3% to 0%. --- ## Built for the Jobs Atlanta Siding Contractors Actually Run - **Fiber cement on older wood-frame homes** — scope builder includes WRB and flashing line items for ASHRAE Zone 3A moisture conditions - **Vinyl replacement on investor flips** — fast material cost lookup from your saved workspace keeps your commodity pricing current - **HOA-governed neighborhoods** — client-facing bid documents are clean and detailed, which speeds HOA approval - **Multi-unit and mixed-use** — Crew plan at $399 flat per month covers your whole crew without per-seat math getting complicated --- ## Get Your First Estimate Out Today Create a free account.
