I've been getting quotes for contractors to install/paint (with 2 coats of super paint) beaded cedarmill hardiplank siding to our house. We currently have dutch lap siding which I've been told is quite hard to remove. There is about 2500 sf of siding that needs to be replaced and then also a portion of the house is brick that will need to be painted also to match the new siding color. I've also asked for 4 new pairs of shutters, new brick moulding around approx 20 windows, and 4 new vinyl windows (Gorell 5300 series-most likely at around $2000 for all 4).
My question is concerning the price.... The quotes I've been receiving are all over the place even though I am giving all these companies the same spec information. How can that be? They all are supposedly reputable companies (licensed/insured/references/some awards/etc). My quotes range from $16,000 - $28,000. Is it even possible for a company to do this job well at $16,000 and make a profit? Are there any guidelines I can go by to make a reasonable assessment of these quotes? BTW, our house is in the Atlanta area.
Thanks!
