Maintenance is power washed on regular basis. Cost does include 10% for hardware $205,740.

Includes 10% for fixtures - $355,385.70. Colors would come very close to match existing, like a blue grey. Cedar siding, not including trim. Would need repainting every 5 to 8 years. Life expectancy could be between 20 and 40 years. Probably white cedar and will come in pre finished. Will need painter as well. No warranty except if find defects in the bundles. Including hardware and Tyvek wrap, $839,252.80 – non of these prices include tax. Kevin Matthews, which does BHA like? Lorri Finton, the Board has not rendered an opinion yet. Probably not go with cedar siding – this will take alot of years to get the funds. Hardie Board is more time consuming to install, not just a nail gun. Need special screws and tools to install it.
