Choosing Siding for the Las Cruces Climate
Every region wears siding out in its own way. For Las Cruces, with summer highs near 90°F, the main factors are these:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); New Mexico sits in region 4.
Sun and heat. Strong sun is the main enemy of siding here. Vinyl softens on hot south and west walls and can wave if it was nailed tight, so crews must leave room at nail slots and joints; lighter colors stay flatter and fade less.
Monsoon storms. Summer storms bring sudden downpours after months of dry heat. Flashing and sealed joints have to handle both, and siding should sit well clear of splashing soil.
Embers. Wind-blown embers are the usual wildfire threat. Noncombustible siding, enclosed eaves and screened vents help a house resist a passing fire; check local building rules before choosing.
Crews can install siding almost all year in Las Cruces. Midsummer heat is the main scheduling problem, so expect early starts and short afternoons. About 190 miles south of Albuquerque, Las Cruces has its own labor market, and the siding prices on this page are worked out for Las Cruces rather than taken from the bigger city.
