How to use this calculator?

Think of it as describing your house to the tool. Start by selecting units (feet or meters) and the siding material — that sets the price default and the coverage per panel. Add each wall — enter width, height and how many identical walls you have. One row per wall face is enough. Add gable sections — for each triangular end under the roof, enter the base width and the rise to the peak.

How much siding do I need?

The short version: add up the area of every wall, take out the windows and doors, then pad the total for waste. The catch is that a real house is never one clean rectangle — you've got gable ends, a garage that sticks out, maybe a bump-out for the kitchen. Miss one of those and you're back at the store mid-project.

What to check before you order?

One figure rarely tells the whole story. Confirm these points and your siding estimate becomes an order you can actually place with confidence.Confirm coverage: the default coverage is a planning figure.
