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%.
Most towns require a permit; historic districts add review. Freeze-thaw favors fiber cement and engineered wood.

Installed-price bands and regional factors are planning inputs. The model includes a generic permit allowance but excludes hidden rot, replacement sheathing, structural repairs and hazardous-materials work. See data provenance and limitations and the calculation method.

Regional planning notes for New York

New York's freeze-thaw winters work siding hard — vinyl expands and contracts across a wide temperature swing, so seams and fastening technique (nailed loose, never tight) separate a good install from a wavy one. Upstate, vinyl is the value default; downstate and in historic districts, expect design review and higher-end materials. The blended labor rate runs about 30 percent above the national average, with the sharpest premiums near the city. Fiber cement and engineered wood are gaining as the durability upgrade.
