What’s different about Houston
Houston is Texas's largest market, where Gulf-coast hurricane codes, high humidity, and busy contractor demand drive wind-rated materials and pricing.
- Impact-rated siding stands up to hail and severe wind.
- Impact- and wind-rated siding is often required near the coast.
- Fade- and heat-resistant finishes hold up better under strong sun.
How the cost is built
Siding cost is driven by wall area, material (vinyl is the budget option; engineered wood and fiber cement cost more), the number of stories, and trim around windows and doors. Tearing off old siding and repairing sheathing underneath adds to the total.
