Siding Estimating Software

Siding takeoff is wall area off the elevations, then a trim count that decides the margin. You scale each elevation for net wall square footage, subtract the windows and doors, and add the waste a lap or shake exposure eats — then the real work starts. You measure the linear feet of starter, J-channel, soffit, and fascia, count every inside and outside corner post, and tally the trim around each opening before any of it prices out. The field panels are the cheap part; the accessories and corners are where a bid goes thin, because an under-counted corner post or a short run of J-channel shows up as a shortage on a two-story wall. P2P reads the elevations and floor plans, measures net wall area face by face, nets out openings, and applies your waste by exposure. It totals the trim linear footage, counts the corners and openings, and prices panels, accessories, and labor against your own rates — so you can bid a re-side or a new-construction package in minutes instead of an evening on a ladder of elevations.
