From Willow Glen Craftsman cottages to modern hillside estates, fresh siding is one of the fastest ways to transform a Bay Area home. CountBricks brings a data-driven, craftsmanship-obsessed approach to san jose siding, helping homeowners and builders choose the right profile, material, and schedule—then backing every decision with AI-powered numbers you can trust.
San Jose’s daytime heat, cool nights, and periodic coastal moisture create unique pressure on exterior cladding. Poorly selected or installed siding can cup, crack, or harbor mold. CountBricks specifies products that stand up to:
• Rapid temperature swings between 55 °F nights and 85 °F afternoons
• Seasonal coastal fog that drives moisture into lap joints
• Intense summer UV that fades cheaper finishes in a single season
1. Up to 30 % energy savings when paired with upgraded sheathing
2. Average resale ROI of 78 % on fiber-cement re-clads in Santa Clara County
3. Near-zero maintenance options that free weekends for the things you love
CountBricks installers work with every major siding family, but three options dominate San Jose residential projects:
Cedar Siding
• Naturally rot resistant and ideal for Mid-century or Craftsman styles
• Requires re-staining every 3–5 years to keep that warm glow
Fiber-Cement
• Combines Portland cement and cellulose for extreme durability
• Factory-baked colors resist UV for 15+ years
Engineered Wood
• Real-wood fibers sealed with resins for a lighter board
• Pre-finished textures mimic cedar at a lower cost

Material is only half the story. CountBricks uses live pricing feeds to predict total investment with 95 % accuracy.
• Labor rates: Competitive tech-sector wages raise crew costs compared to state averages
• Permit fees: City of San Jose charges per square foot for exterior remodels—our AI includes the exact fee in every quote
• Access challenges: Tight Evergreen lots or hillside driveways may require material staging plans
• Waste disposal: Green waste diversion mandates influence dumpster sizing and haul-off pricing
1. Cedar tongue-and-groove: $10–$14 / sq ft installed
2. Premium fiber-cement lap: $11–$16 / sq ft installed
3. Engineered wood panel: $9–$12 / sq ft installed
