If six inch clapboard siding is 72 cents per lineal ft and you need to cover 400 square ft so how do you figure the cost for the job?

In: Building and Carpentry [Edit categories]

Answer:

2x 6" (x1ft) lengths = 1sq ft, so 2x 400 = 800 lineal feet is required.
800ft x 72 cents = $572
+10% for offcuts etc
Hope this helps,
Andy
