Siding changes the materials cost
Smooth lap siding and fiber cement are the fastest surfaces and sit at the bottom of the range above. Stucco and masonry soak up considerably more paint per square foot, which raises the materials line more than the labour. Rough sawn wood, shingles and shakes are the slowest and thirstiest surfaces, and sit at the top of the range or above it. This holds in Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario the same way it holds everywhere: siding type is a materials and labour-hours question, not a local-market question.
