What moves the number
Karst limestone drainage, crawl-space construction common across the Bluegrass, and how much of the existing wall assembly needs replacing versus patching all shift labor time before a single panel goes up.
Materials, not just price
Wood, fiber-cement, and vinyl differ in installation labor and long-term maintenance, so ask what's covered, what's excluded, and how disposal and touch-up work are scoped.
Permits and Fayette County rules
Some work may trigger permitting, especially near the urban service boundary or on older parcels. Confirm current rules with Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government and your chosen provider.
