Who this is for
- Small siding contractors (one crew) who price replacement jobs in spreadsheets or on paper today
- Estimators who want material, labor and disposal totals, markup and deposit from one file
- Shop owners who want a per-job profit log — contract price vs. actual costs — alongside the quote
Who this is not for
- Anyone who needs Google Sheets — this release is Microsoft Excel desktop only (see FAQ)
- Anyone expecting live supplier pricing — every price in the workbook is an editable sample figure
- Multi-section or non-rectangular houses in a single takeoff — the workbook prices one rectangular four-wall section at a time
What's inside
- Six-tab Excel workbook: Cover, Price Book, Takeoff, Estimate, Quote and a 25-job Ledger
- Price Book: 4 siding materials (vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, wood) with per-material prices, waste factors and install labor rates — every figure editable
- Takeoff: wall and gable measurements, openings, corners, J-channel, starter, soffit, fascia, gutters, downspouts and sheathing allowance
- 17 built-in self-checks plus a final review-key approval: the customer Quote shows em dashes instead of money until every check passes and you confirm the final inputs
- Estimate: materials, labor and disposal build-up with your markup % and deposit %, price per square and per sq ft
- Customer-facing quote with scope of work, total, deposit and balance — no internal costs or markup shown
- Worked example (this exact sample): 2,422 sq ft net, vinyl, total $31,661.70 — audit every number in the included NUMBERS guide before you trust it with a real job
- Start-here guide, full instructions and a buyer license (PDF-free, plain text files you can open anywhere)

Questions
Does it work in Google Sheets?
No. This release is built and checked for Microsoft Excel 2019, 2021 or Microsoft 365 on desktop, and uses current Excel functions (including the review-key check) that Google Sheets does not support reliably. Google Sheets is not a supported platform for this workbook.
Why does the Quote show dashes instead of the price?
That is the safety gate working. The quote only prints money after all 17 self-checks pass AND you paste the final review key as a value — any later edit to any input locks it again, so an out-of-date or broken number cannot slip into a quote you send.
What do I need to replace before using it for a real customer?
Every Price Book figure is a sample: replace material prices, waste factors and labor rates with your own supplier and crew rates, and enter your company details on the Quote sheet.
Does it include taxes or permit fees?
No — no sales tax, permit or jurisdiction-specific charges are added automatically. The Quote lists standard exclusions; apply your local taxes and required charges before issuing a binding proposal.
