SIDING ESTIMATING.

## Siding estimates in Phoenix move fast — your software should too Phoenix sits in one of the hottest home-building metros in the country. Maricopa County consistently ranks among the top counties nationally for new residential permits, which means siding contractors here are pricing everything from tract-home stucco remediation in Surprise to fiber cement installs on custom builds in Scottsdale. The backlog is real. Losing a bid because your estimate took two days while a competitor turned one in two hours is a problem you can fix. Estimate.Pro gets you from jobsite walkthrough to a sendable bid in a median of 8 minutes. --- ## What makes siding estimating different in Phoenix **Heat and UV degradation drive scope.** Phoenix averages over 300 days of sun per year. That UV load degrades vinyl and lower-grade composite faster than national averages assume. When you're scoping a re-side, you need to account for substrate damage hidden behind failed cladding — rotted OSB sheathing caused by condensation cycling in poorly ventilated walls is common even in the desert. Your estimate has to capture that contingency before you commit to a price. **Stucco is the baseline, not the exception.** A large percentage of Phoenix-area homes use three-coat stucco or EIFS systems. If you're bidding a conversion to fiber cement or engineered wood, your scope has to include stucco removal, WRB replacement, and furring — not just panel square footage. Generic estimating tools don't account for that transition labor. Estimate.Pro lets you build that into a saved material cost workspace you reuse job to job. **Wind-driven rain details matter even in the desert.** The North American Monsoon season (roughly July through September) brings driving rain events that expose any gap in flashing or house wrap installation. Phoenix Building Services requires proper water-resistive barrier detailing per the 2018 International Building Code as locally amended. Your scope-of-work needs to reference that or you're exposed on warranty callbacks. **New construction volume means repeat bid cycles.** Siding subs working tract builds in Buckeye, Queen Creek, or Goodyear are bidding the same plan types repeatedly. Estimate.Pro's saved workspaces let you clone a previous estimate for a similar plan, adjust square footage and any community-specific cost variables, and send. You don't start from zero every time. --- ## How Estimate.Pro works for siding contractors **1. AR-assisted measurement on-site.** On supported devices, the app uses ONNX-assisted live AR to measure wall elevations and opening subtractions in real time. Camera and photo measurements are marked as estimates so you know exactly where to verify. For a standard ranch home in Phoenix, most contractors complete field measurement in under 15 minutes. **2. AI scope-of-work generation.** After your walkthrough, the app drafts a scope covering substrate prep, WRB installation, panel type, trim details, and fastener pattern — specific to what you flagged in the field. You review and edit, not write from scratch. **3. Priced estimate with your cost data.** Your saved material cost workspace holds your supplier pricing — whether you're buying fiber cement from a Phoenix-area building supply house or pulling from a national account. Labor rates you set reflect what you actually pay crews in the Valley, not national averages that undercut your margin. **4. Send directly from the app.** The client gets a professional estimate document. On Pro+ plans, Stripe Connect invoicing is included with a 0% platform fee. On the Free tier, the platform fee is 3%. --- ## Pricing that fits the size of your operation - **Free forever** — no credit card, no time limit. Good for solo operators testing the workflow. - **Pro — $39/seat/month** — full AR measurement, AI scope drafts, saved cost workspaces. - **Elite — $79/seat/month** — adds Stripe Connect invoicing with 0% platform fee and invoice exports. - **Crew — $399/month flat** — unlimited seats, built for multi-crew siding operations running concurrent jobs across the Valley. --- ## Built for 25 trades, including siding Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades. That matters if you also hang gutters, do trim carpentry, or sub out paint. Your whole estimating workflow lives in one place, and your office staff isn't managing multiple tools. Phoenix siding contractors are pricing against other contractors who have already cut their estimate turnaround time. Eight minutes from walkthrough to sendable bid is not a marketing number — it is the median time logged by contractors using the app. Get your first estimate out today. No credit card required.
