FIRST THINGS FIRST

By Clicking Here , you will find measuring instructions that will help you measure your home. It is IMPERATIVE that you know exactly how many square feet of siding you will need to cover your home!

If you can't measure your home by yourself, get someone to help you-- it is that important!!

If your salesperson mis-measures your home by accident (or on purpose), it can be a disaster that costs you money! If you don't know exactly how big your home is, you will never know how much you paid per square foot for the product or if you paid for product you didn't need.

If your home needs 1500 square feet of siding to do the job and your salesperson says your home is 1700 square feet and their selling price is $500.00 per 100 square feet, then you have just spent $1,000.00 without realizing it!

The very first question you should ask the salesperson is how much siding it will take to do the job. If you already know the answer and the salesperson confirms the correct amount, you are headed in the right direction.

If his answer is not correct you need to find out why. The tape measure does not lie. Believe it or not, some sales people have been known to walk off the distance and not even use a tape measure.

REMEMBER: If the house is over-measured the company will make more money and YOU lose!!! Very rarely is a house under- measured.

AND, Siding is sold by the square foot, NOT lineal foot; NOT by the box and NOT by the wall. Square foot only!
