Choosing Siding for the Texas Climate
With summers around 96°F and winter nights down near 35°F, the Texas climate puts its own demands on a wall. What matters most here:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Texas sits in region 5.
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.
Impact resistance. Where hail is common, compare toughness, not just price. A thicker vinyl panel helps; fiber cement helps more.
Booking around storms. After a major storm, siding crews are booked for months. Replacing before the season, and keeping photos of the finished job for your insurer, saves trouble later.
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.

How to Compare Siding Bids in Texas
Before you pick a siding bid in Texas, make every contractor cover the same three points:
- Crew. Ask if the seller installs with its own staff or a subcontractor.
- Corners and trim. Matching corner posts and starter strip should be in the price, not an extra.
- Old layer. Taking off old vinyl or aluminum adds about $1,810 here; get it listed as its own line.

Siding Questions
Is fiber cement worth the extra cost over vinyl?
Fiber cement costs $18,110 to $26,160 for this house against $10,430 to $15,070 for vinyl. It resists fire, impact and fading and can be repainted; vinyl wins on upfront cost and needs almost no upkeep.
How do contractors price siding in Texas?
Siding is priced by the square (100 sq. ft. of wall). In Texas, vinyl runs about $618.79 per square and fiber cement about $1,109.95, materials and labor, before trim and tear-off.
Do I have to remove old siding first?
Often, yes, if the old siding is flat, dry and sound. Tear-off adds about $1,810 for old vinyl or aluminum here, but it lets the crew fix rot and add a proper weather barrier.
