Our Story
Exterior Finishes Takeoff & Estimating Built for Freeport Contractors
Freeport is South Shore canal country, where home elevations, bulkheads, and flood-resistant renovation have been major work since Superstorm Sandy. For siding and cladding contractors, stucco and EIFS subcontractors, and general contractors, that makes accurate exterior finishes quantities on waterfront home elevations and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Near the water in Freeport, siding and trim need to resist salt and wind, and our takeoffs list compliant materials. The area's energy code often requires continuous exterior insulation, which changes cladding attachment and trim depths.
Code requirements change quantities, so our exterior estimators review every Freeport drawing set against the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, paying attention to weather-resistive barriers, continuous insulation, and fire-rated exterior wall requirements. The takeoff is built in Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Contractors in Freeport use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in nearby Merrick and Rockville Centre. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and exterior finishes numbers you can defend at bid review. Labor assumptions for the exterior finishes scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. On public work in New York, rates come from the State Department of Labor's prevailing wage schedules, and some privately built projects with significant public funding now fall under them too.
