The phrase “cost to remove vinyl siding” gets thousands of searches every month, yet most homeowners still receive vague ballpark figures. CountBricks changes that. By combining real-time voice capture, live material databases, and AI-driven workflows, CountBricks delivers precise numbers in minutes—no more guessing games or hidden fees.
• Hail or wind damage compromising exterior protection
• Outdated colors hurting curb appeal or resale value
• Trapped moisture causing mold on sheathing
• Upgrading to fiber cement, engineered wood, or fresh vinyl styles
• Meeting HOA or insurance requirements after a claim
1. Square footage of wall surface
2. Height of the home—single vs. two-story affects labor time and equipment
3. Accessibility—tight lot lines, landscaping, and obstacles add setup hours
4. Disposal fees—local landfill charges per cubic yard of old siding
5. Underlayment repairs—damaged house wrap or sheathing replacement
Through thousands of projects logged in the CountBricks database, the typical cost to remove vinyl siding on a 2,000 sq ft, two-story residence runs between $1.45 and $2.10 per square foot. That translates to $2,900–$4,200. Prices trend 8-12 % higher for three-story homes and 15-20 % lower for ranch-style footprints.
• A contractor opens the CountBricks mobile app and begins a voice call with the homeowner.
• While walking the perimeter, the pro describes wall lengths, window counts, and ladder height.
• CountBricks’ AI transcribes the call, converts dimensions into surface areas, and pulls live disposal fees from local facilities.
• The platform adds labor productivity rates—calibrated to the San Antonio wage index—and returns a full removal estimate onscreen.
• The homeowner receives a branded PDF quote and can accept digitally, triggering the invoice workflow.
• Labor (tear-off & hauling): $2,350
• Roll-off dumpster & tipping fees: $480
• House wrap replacement: $260

When the Torres family inherited a 1940s bungalow in San Antonio’s Southtown district, the vinyl siding was cracked, faded, and trapping moisture behind the walls. They contacted a local contractor who uses CountBricks for every exterior job.
• 1,200 sq ft single-story home
• Alley access only on one side
• Two layers of vinyl installed over original wood lap
1. The contractor walked the lot while speaking measurements into the CountBricks app. In less than eight minutes, the homeowner saw a $2,150 removal quote with itemized labor, disposal, and underlayment repair allowances.
2. Blueprint takeoff flagged an area likely to have sheathing rot beneath a leaking gutter. The estimate pre-budgeted three OSB sheets, preventing mid-project delays.
3. A pay-over-time plan was selected within the homeowner portal, locking in pricing before peak season.
• Tear-off completed in one day instead of two, thanks to optimized crew sizing
