How Often Does Home Siding Need to be Replaced in Texas?

If you are considering home siding replacement in Texas, you need to do your research. First, you need to determine if it’s time for new siding or a siding repair job on your Texas home. If it’s time for a replacement, you must select the right siding product for your situation. Finally, you must find the best siding installation contractor to complete the project. Let’s examine each of these concerns. 

How often should I replace the siding on my Texas home?

What kind of siding do you have on your home, and when was it installed? Here’s a handy guide to help you determine how long different types of siding last.

The lifespans of different siding materials:

• Vinyl Siding: 30 to 40 years with minimal maintenance
• Aluminum Siding: 30 to 50 years with moderate maintenance
• Wood Siding: 15 to 30 years with high maintenance
• Fiber Cement Siding: 25 to 30 years with moderate maintenance

Unfortunately, Texas weather can be brutal on your home’s siding. Extreme weather conditions such as high temperatures, harmful UV rays, and excessive moisture (on the coast) can affect the performance of your siding.

Signs that your existing siding may not last as long as expected:

• Your siding surface is blistered or bubbling.
• The surface has cracks, dents, or chips.
• The color of your siding has faded.
• Your siding has been damaged by wildlife.
• The exterior of your home is covered with mold or mildew or has water damage.
• The siding is loose.
• You have a difficult time maintaining a comfortable indoor climate.

What is the best new siding material for Texas homes?

If you need new siding because your old product is deteriorating or you are putting your house on the market, how do you select the right product for your Texas home?

While there are pros and cons for each type of siding, vinyl siding has many benefits:

• Vinyl siding will immediately improve the curb appeal of your home. And your house will look amazing for years to come because vinyl siding offers excellent durability. 
• Vinyl siding is affordable. If cost is of concern (and when isn’t it?), vinyl siding is much less expensive than wood or fiber cement siding. 
• Vinyl siding is an eco-friendly choice. Not only is vinyl material recyclable, but the siding will insulate your home. A vinyl siding project can improve the energy efficiency of your home.
