SIDING ESTIMATING.

## Siding Estimates in Miami Move Fast — Your Bidding Has To Match Miami-Dade County runs one of the most demanding siding inspection regimes in the country. Every exterior cladding job touches the Florida Building Code 2023, Miami-Dade Product Approval requirements, and in many cases the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) provisions that apply to the entire county. A bid that doesn't reflect those realities gets thrown out before the homeowner even reads the price. Estimate.Pro is built for that reality. You walk the job, measure the walls, and have a priced, sendable estimate in 8 minutes. No spreadsheet, no guesswork on waste factors. --- ## What Makes Miami Siding Estimating Different **HVHZ compliance adds cost — and scope.** In Miami-Dade, fiber cement and impact-rated vinyl products must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). Your estimate has to account for NOA-listed fastener schedules, furring requirements, and the fact that standard housewrap details often need upgraded to meet FBC Section 1404. Estimate.Pro lets you build those line items into a saved workspace so they appear on every HVHZ job automatically. **Salt air and moisture exposure change your material spec.** Coastal exposure in Miami means galvanized or stainless fasteners, closed-cell backer rod at penetrations, and more frequent substrate inspection before re-cladding. Those aren't optional add-ons — they're job-site realities. Your estimate should reflect them before you ever shake hands on a price. **Labor costs here are not national averages.** Miami siding labor runs higher than the national median, driven by year-round demand, tight crew availability, and the skill premium for HVHZ-compliant installation. Plugging in a national cost database number will lose you money. Estimate.Pro lets you save your actual material and labor costs in a private workspace — your numbers, not someone else's averages. **Permitting in Miami-Dade is a line item.** Pulling a building permit for exterior cladding replacement in unincorporated Miami-Dade or in cities like Hialeah, Coral Gables, or Doral requires product approval documentation at submission. That's time. Bill it. --- ## How the App Works for Siding Contractors **AR Measurement.** On supported devices, Estimate.Pro uses ONNX-assisted live AR measurement to capture wall dimensions, gable areas, and window/door deductions in the field. Camera and photo measurements are marked as estimates so you know what needs a tape verify before you sign off. **Scope of Work Generation.** After the walkthrough, the AI drafts your scope — wall prep, substrate repairs, housewrap, cladding, trim, caulking, and cleanup. You edit it. You own it. **Priced Estimate.** Line items pull from your saved material cost workspace. Adjust quantities, swap products, apply your overhead and margin. The estimate formats cleanly for a client — no PDF hacking required. **Send and Get Paid.** On Pro+ tiers, Estimate.Pro connects to Stripe with zero platform fee on invoices. Free tier runs at 3% — still faster than chasing checks. --- ## Pricing That Fits a Single Crew or a Full Shop - **Free tier** — no credit card, no expiration. Good for testing the workflow on your next bid. - **Pro** — $39/seat/month. Full estimating, saved cost workspaces, AR measurement. - **Elite** — $79/seat/month. Adds Stripe Connect with 0% platform fee and invoice exports. - **Crew** — $399/month flat. Unlimited seats for larger operations. There is no upsell to run the core estimating workflow. You use it, you send the bid, you win or you don't. --- ## Built for 25 Trades, Including the Work That Touches Siding Miami re-cladding jobs rarely stop at siding. Stucco remediation, window replacements, waterproofing, and carpentry repairs often run on the same permit. Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades, so a siding contractor who also scopes trim carpentry or moisture barrier work doesn't need a second tool. --- ## Start With Your Next Miami Job Create a free account, walk your next job, and see what an 8-minute bid looks like in practice.
