Siding Guide

Siding in Texas (2026)

City-by-city 2026 guides with real local housing and rainfall data — know the warning signs and how inspections work before you hire.

Last updated: October 2026

Texas siding bakes in intense sun and heat, takes hail across the north, and faces wind-driven hurricane rain on the coast — UV finish breakdown is the statewide pattern. Across the 43 Texas cities we track, an average of 21.5% of homes were built before 1980 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024) with average annual rainfall of 39.8 in/yr (NOAA 1991–2020 normals).

City-by-city guides

How to use these guides

Each city page pairs siding how-it-works guidance — warning signs, the inspection process, materials, repair vs. replace — with that city's real housing-age and rainfall data, so you can see which pattern dominates locally. When you talk to contractors, ask how their plan accounts for the local weather, and whether they probed for rot before quoting a scope.
