Vinyl siding is more than a building material, it is a building system that requires different parts including siding panels, soffit, fascia, trim, corners and mounting accessories. Vinyl siding typically costs between $3.00 to $7.00 per square foot, not including installation and other accessories. Vinyl siding prices also vary on where you purchase your vinyl siding from, such as buying directly from a distributor (rare, unless you are a contractor) or through a certified installer.
On average, the cost of cypress lumber can be around $2 to $11 per board foot. Siding can range from $2 to $4 per square foot for the materials alone. Woodworkerssource.com charges around $6 to $9 per foot.
Mulch in 2-cubic-foot bags is easy to place, split open and spread. Husband Ken and I are in mulching mode. We prefer to purchase our cypress mulch in easy-to-handle 2-cubic-foot bags. We watch the sale flyers from Home Depot and Lowe's, planning to get it on sale, down from the $2.35 per bag price this year. Luckily, we got it for $1.17 at Lowe's, which matched the sale price we saw in a competitor's ad.
