  • 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%.
  • County permits apply; historic districts add review in older towns.

What drives siding cost in Maryland

Maryland layers its markets: humid Chesapeake summers argue for rot-proof vinyl and fiber cement, waterfront exposure adds corrosion-resistant fastening, and historic districts — Annapolis and Frederick most visibly — control materials on older facades. Vinyl leads the volume market; fiber cement is the standard upgrade in the DC suburbs, where buyers spend more on curb appeal. Labor runs about 15 percent above the national average, driven by the Washington and Baltimore metros, with the Eastern Shore cheaper.
