  • Wall area = footprint perimeter × 19 ft grade-to-eave height; a 1.5:1 rectangle is assumed when only the perimeter is known.
  • 2 gable triangles estimated at a 6/12 pitch for the "gable" roof style.
  • Openings reduced at 75% of their area (trim and cuts eat part of the saving); waste factor 13%.
  • Wind-load rules are strict — fastening schedules are inspected; HOA approval is common.

What drives siding cost in Florida

Florida siding is engineered against wind: fastening schedules are code-specified, inspected, and stricter in high-velocity hurricane zones, which adds labor no other region requires. Humidity does the rest — untreated wood rots and invites termites, so fiber cement and vinyl own the market, often over concrete-block walls. Vinyl must be wind-rated; bargain panels are a liability here. Labor prices below the national average, but the inspection regime and HOA approvals stretch timelines.
