How much does labor cost for siding and windows?

Friday, July 30th, 2010
nailpounder asked:


The materials have already been purchased, and I was wondering, how much I can expect to pay to have the work done? Is the labor billed by the hour, or per square and per window? It is ten windows, one of which is 9X5, the rest are considerably smaller, and 13 sq. of siding. Also 150 ft. of soffit and facia. The home is a single story ranch all straight cuts (except the gables of course) and no inside corners. there is nothing difficult about this one - should be easy.

How can I get a rust stain off of white aluminum siding?

Thursday, July 29th, 2010
uktine101 asked:


I just bought a house with white aluminum siding. The previous owners had a flag on a pole which was screwed to the side of the house with a normal fastener/bracket. Unfortunately, the pole created a cascading rust line from the rain. I tried using CLR, but that started to take off the white color of the siding, which then turned the siding a nasty gray-ish color. HELP! That rust is ugly! And is it possible to fix my CLR mis-hap?

Cost to replace damaged asbestos-containing siding on a house?

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Jennifer L asked:


Hi, I’m looking into purchasing an 1800 sq ft home (2 stories). The house has damaged siding (the paint appears to be bubbling off) and it turns out that the siding contains asbestos. Approximately how much would it cost to replace this siding ($3,000, $30,000?? any range would be helpful)? Also, what type of siding would you suggest I replace it with?

Thanks in advance!
