SIDING ESTIMATING.

## Siding Estimates in Orlando Move Fast — Your Bids Should Too Orlando's construction market doesn't slow down. New residential builds in the 32801-to-34787 ZIP corridor, aging vinyl replacement jobs in Ocoee and Apopka, fiber cement upgrades in the Dr. Phillips corridor — the pipeline stays full. What stalls contractors isn't the work. It's the paperwork between the walkthrough and the signed contract. Estimate.Pro gets you from job-site photos to a sendable bid in 8 minutes. That's the median across the platform, not a marketing target. --- ## What Makes Siding Estimating Different in Central Florida **Hurricane exposure is a cost driver.** Orlando sits in Florida Wind Zone II. Siding specs on new construction and re-siding jobs over a certain square footage threshold have to comply with Florida Building Code (FBC) 2023, Section 1504 for wall cladding attachment. That means your material selections — whether LP SmartSide, HardiePlank, or vinyl rated for 150 mph or better — affect both labor and material costs. Estimate.Pro lets you save those material specs directly in your workspace so you're not re-entering them job after job. **Moisture and vapor management add scope.** Central Florida's humidity regularly pushes above 80 percent from June through September. House wrap selection, flashing tape, and drainage mat details aren't optional line items — they're code-required and they show up on failed inspections when they're skipped. Your estimate needs to reflect the full scope, not just the panels and trim. **Stucco-to-fiber-cement conversions are common.** Older Orlando homes — especially in neighborhoods built before 1995 — frequently carry original stucco over frame. Conversion jobs carry demo costs, moisture barrier replacement, and extended labor. The scope differs substantially from a straight vinyl replacement. Estimate.Pro's AI scope-of-work engine generates line items based on what you describe during your walkthrough, so you're not manually building a conversion estimate from scratch every time. --- ## How the Estimate Gets Built Walk the job. Use the Estimate.Pro app to capture measurements — AR-assisted on supported devices, photo-based on others (those are flagged as estimates so you know what to verify). Describe what you're seeing: substrate condition, window count, existing trim, soffit and fascia state. The AI drafts a scope-of-work with line items. You review, adjust quantities, and apply your saved Orlando-market labor rates and material costs. The platform pulls no punches: you see margin, not just total. Send the bid directly from the app. If you're on Pro+ or Elite, Stripe Connect is built in — $0 platform fee on payments, invoice exports included. --- ## Pricing That Doesn't Cut Into Your Margin - **Free forever** — no credit card, no time limit.

Siding is one of them — not an afterthought, not a generic construction template. The scope logic understands the difference between a 1,200 sq ft vinyl replacement and a full fiber cement install with trim and soffit work. It knows to ask about substrate. It accounts for waste factors. If you also do windows, gutters, or exterior painting, those trades are covered in the same platform. One walkthrough can produce a multi-trade bid. --- ## Start Without Risk The free tier is permanent.
