How many quotes should I get for a siding job in Minneapolis?

At least three. In the permit record the middle half of Minneapolis siding firms usually file between $10,000 and $19,229 a job, so two ordinary firms can sit 1.9 times apart and both be normal for Minneapolis. A third quote shows which one is the outlier. Filed values are what contractors wrote on permits, not quotes, so use them to judge the spread, not to price your own job.

What range is normal for siding jobs in Minneapolis?

Half of permits were filed between $7,700 and $20,700; 8 in 10 between $4,200 and $30,500. These are approximate, pooled from each firm's own spread.

How much do siding contractors charge in Minneapolis?

The usual siding job is filed at $13,500; the middle half of firms usually file between $10,000 and $19,229. The 10 firms with the most permits in the last 12 months usually file $14,000, about the same as the usual. See every firm's usual job

Why is this different from the per-square-foot prices I see online?

Online prices are quoted per square foot. A filed value is one number for the whole job on one permit, often many square feet plus the work around them, and the Minneapolis file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $13,500 into a price per square foot.

Do bigger houses get bigger bills?

Not in the file: firms working on the upper third of homes by value usually file $13,000, the lower third $15,000.
