Frequently asked
How much does siding installation cost in DFW?
Installed siding in DFW: vinyl $6–$10 per sq ft, LP SmartSide engineered wood $9–$14 per sq ft, James Hardie fiber cement $11–$17 per sq ft. A typical 2,500 sq ft house with 2,000 sq ft of exterior wall area lands $12,000–$34,000+ depending on product and trim detail.
Which siding material holds up best in North Texas?
James Hardie fiber cement handles DFW heat, hail, and humidity better than vinyl and at a higher resale tier than LP SmartSide. Hardie's ColorPlus factory finish carries a 15-year color warranty. LP SmartSide is a strong mid-tier option with better impact resistance than fiber cement on hail. Vinyl is the budget tier and works fine when properly installed but ages faster in Texas sun.
Do you tear off old siding or install over it?
We tear off existing siding on every job. Installing new siding over old hides moisture damage, prevents proper flashing, and voids manufacturer warranties on James Hardie and LP SmartSide. The tear-off lets us inspect sheathing, install a fresh weather-resistive barrier, and flash openings properly.
How long does a full siding job take?
A 2,000 sq ft exterior wall siding job runs 7–14 working days depending on detail level, trim complexity, and weather. We sequence weather-barrier and flashing first so the house is dried in before any siding goes on.
Is the work warrantied?
Three-year workmanship warranty on every install. James Hardie ColorPlus carries a 15-year finish warranty and 30-year substrate warranty. LP SmartSide carries a 5/50 finish and substrate warranty. We register the manufacturer warranty in your name at handoff.
Why TrueForm for DFW siding
Siding is a long-cycle finish that only pays off when the details under it are right.
