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.
Each New York City estimate includes fiber cement siding, vinyl siding, metal wall panels, composite and ACM cladding, weather-resistive barriers, vapor and air barriers, exterior trim and soffits, flashing and sealants, continuous insulation, and rainscreen systems. Facades are quantified by system and elevation. Continuous insulation and air barriers are quantified.

New York City projects carry costs that don't exist elsewhere, including hoisting, sidewalk sheds, DOB filings, union labor rates, and Local Law 97 compliance, so national averages don't work for pricing here. Our exterior estimators work with siding and cladding contractors, stucco and EIFS subcontractors, and general contractors across New York City, pricing jobs tied to high-rise residential and office-to-residential conversions, Local Law 97 energy retrofits, and transit and airport modernization.
High-rise exterior work in New York City is priced by system and elevation, with access as a major factor, and our takeoffs reflect that. The area's energy code often requires continuous exterior insulation, which changes cladding attachment and trim depths.
Under the NYC Construction Codes, 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. Where the scope involves DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, or Local Law 97 compliance, those costs are flagged so they are not missed at bid time. Measurements are done in Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff and summarized in Excel for your New York City bid.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every New York City exterior finishes bid we touch. City-funded work in the five boroughs is priced at the NYC Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and much private work here is built with union crews. Your exterior finishes estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Request a quote today, and your first estimate comes with 10% off.
Our New York City exterior finishes estimators work across all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Citywide rules (the NYC Construction Codes, DOB NOW filings, Local Law 97, and union labor) apply everywhere, and each borough adds its own building stock, from Manhattan towers to Staten Island one- and two-family homes. For borough-specific detail, see our Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island pages.
