What a Strong Proposal Should Include

Itemized estimate: A clear siding installation estimate lists siding, trim, soffit, labor, and removal separately. Our siding planning guide shows what to compare.
Certification check: Confirm you are hiring a James Hardie certified contractor, since proper installation protects your warranty. Ask for current proof of that certification.
Warranty terms: Request the product warranty in writing before you compare prices. All Hardie fiber cement carries a transferable 30-year non-prorated substrate warranty.
Price anchor: Use a market benchmark when weighing bids. Fiber cement siding averages about $21,500 across New England, per Cost vs. Value data.
Review record: Read verified homeowner reviews before you choose a contractor. Coastal holds a 4.8-star Google rating built on 950-plus verified reviews.

Choosing the Right Proposal

Top Recommendation: Compare itemized James Hardie quotes side by side, then verify certification and warranty. Request a free estimate from Coastal Windows & Exteriors.
Great for value: Weigh each bid against the New England fiber cement average before deciding.
Smart for peace of mind: Prioritize a certified installer with verified reviews and clear warranty terms.
