For General Contractors, Exterior Finish Contractors & Cladding Specialists
From Downtown Buffalo to Cheektowaga, exterior finishes bids in Buffalo are won on accurate quantities. Our exterior finishes estimating services in Buffalo give siding and cladding contractors, stucco and EIFS subcontractors, and general contractors a complete, itemized takeoff and estimate built from your plans and specifications, so you can bid with confidence and protect your margin.
Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year to estimation errors, missed scope items, and wasted time. Here's exactly what we fix.
Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
Exterior finish systems require detailed measurement of wall areas, openings, transitions, corners, trims, and specialty components. Our Exterior Finishes Takeoff Estimator team carefully reviews architectural drawings, elevations, specifications, and façade details to produce accurate takeoffs.
Detailed, itemized takeoff reports with quantities, costs and clear breakdown of flowing materials. Here's a preview of that.
Every report includes color-coded marked plans, itemized quantity sheets, and a full cost summary — delivered in Excel and PDF formats, ready to attach directly to your bid submission.
Here is what we measure on a typical Buffalo exterior finishes job: flashing and sealants, continuous insulation, rainscreen systems, stucco, EIFS systems, fiber cement siding, vinyl siding, metal wall panels, composite and ACM cladding, and weather-resistive barriers. Continuous insulation and air barriers are quantified. Removal, substrate repair, and new cladding are separated. Each exterior finishes line carries its unit of measure and sheet reference, so pricing and verification are straightforward.

Buffalo's lake-effect snow loads and its supply of century-old industrial buildings make structural capacity and existing-conditions pricing central to most bids. We prepare exterior finishes estimates for that full range of work, from historic adaptive reuse to smaller jobs in Downtown Buffalo and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
Buffalo's energy code often requires continuous exterior insulation, which changes cladding attachment and trim depths. We quantify continuous insulation and furring. Local facade renovations include removal, substrate repair, and new cladding, each of which we take off.
Under the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, small details add up: weather-resistive barriers, continuous insulation, and fire-rated exterior wall requirements. We catch them during the exterior finishes takeoff instead of after the award. Measurements are done in Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff and summarized in Excel for your Buffalo bid.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Buffalo exterior finishes bid we touch. New York's prevailing wage schedules apply to public work statewide, and certain privately built projects with significant public funding now follow them as well. Your exterior finishes estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Share your plans and scope, and we'll send a fixed quote within an hour.
