For instance, a lot of plastics can be cut to measure in most hardware stores whilst shingles are usually sold in packs and mainly used on roofs. An asphalt bundle, often used to protect house corners, can be sold in bundles fairly cheaply but once again can be cut to size.
The best piece of advice that can be given is to shop around, have a look at the houses around you and the materials used and then ask for advice at the hardware stores near you. They should be able to guide you on the right materials for your area and give you a price and rough estimate with regards to measurements.
