Texas siding estimate

Siding Cost in Texas (2026)

Re-siding a house in Texas runs roughly 5% below the national average on installed labor, which we apply to the per-square-foot rate for every material. Last updated July 6, 2026.

A typical two-story vinyl re-side in Texas

45 × 30 ft footprint (150 ft perimeter), 19 ft walls, gable roof, 12 windows, 2 doors, 1 garage door, no tear-off — a clean baseline before you customize.

  • Wall area = footprint perimeter × 19 ft grade-to-eave height; a 1.5:1 rectangle is assumed when only the perimeter is known.
  • 2 gable triangles estimated at a 6/12 pitch for the "gable" roof style.
  • Openings reduced at 75% of their area (trim and cuts eat part of the saving); waste factor 13%.
  • Permits vary by city; HOAs often control material and color. Hail-prone areas favor fiber cement over vinyl.

What drives siding cost in Texas

Hail sets the agenda in Texas — the DFW corridor is one of the most hail-prone metros in the country, and insurance claims drive a steady re-siding market. That pushes buyers toward fiber cement and away from vinyl, which cracks under impact and fades under the Texas sun. Brick veneer dominates new construction, so siding work often means gables, second stories, and accent walls rather than whole houses. Labor runs below the national average, and HOAs commonly control color and material.
