Siding, Seasons and the New Mexico Climate
Siding in New Mexico has to cope with winter lows near 22°F and summer highs near 90°F. These are the local conditions that decide which material lasts:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); New Mexico sits in region 4.
Summer heat. Hot summers push siding to its limits. If you want a dark vinyl color, ask for a line made for it, and make sure panels hang loose enough on their nails to move as they warm.
Dry heat, then rain. Sun cracks the caulk, then summer storms find the cracks. Plan to inspect and reseal joints every few years.
Fire codes. Some parts of New Mexico limit what can go on an exterior wall because of wildfire risk. Ask whether your address is covered - fiber cement passes almost everywhere.
Warm weather lasts most of the year, which keeps the calendar flexible. The cooler months are the most pleasant for crews and often the easiest time to book.

Low bids often leave work out. Hold each quote to these terms:
- Product line. Compare panel thickness and series, not just "vinyl" or "fiber cement".
- Weather barrier. House wrap, flashing and sealed seams belong in the scope.
- Height. A second story adds about $10,750 on this footprint for ladders, staging and slower work.

Siding Questions
Should the old siding come off?
It depends on what is under it. Sound, flat walls can take a new layer; soft spots, stains or bulges mean the old siding should come off, at about $1,980 to $3,950 here.
Is HARDIE board worth the higher price?
That depends on your plans. For a long stay or a higher-value home, fiber cement at $19,860 to $28,690 makes sense; for the lowest cost, vinyl at $11,440 to $16,520 is hard to beat.
How much does siding cost per square in New Mexico?
Per square installed: about $678.54 for vinyl and $1,217.13 for HARDIE fiber cement in New Mexico. Multiply by the wall area, then add trim wraps and any tear-off.
