Texas seasons and vinyl siding
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Texas is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Texarkana has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Texas at 10 months (September through June); Laredo has the shortest at 7 (October through April). Rainfall runs from 9 inches a year in El Paso to 65 inches in Beaumont.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.

Vinyl siding cost by metro in Texas
4 of the 21 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $15,200, and the top-to-bottom gap is 18%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.

|---|---|---|---|
| Beaumont, TX | $7,900 – $23,700 | $15,800 | +4% |

Why two Texas quotes can differ
Style
Clapboard vinyl siding runs $4-$7 per sq ft installed; board-and-batten is $5-$9 (HomeGuide).
Old siding removal
Taking the old siding off costs $0.70-$2.00 per sq ft. Check that disposal is included.
Labor and season
Siding labor is $40-$80 an hour or $2-$6 per sq ft, and it is highest in warm months.
Wall area is not floor area
A 2,000 sq ft house usually has more wall area than floor area once you count gables and two stories. Measure the wall, not the floor.
Wages behind the Texas number
Texas's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 0.83 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $23.51 an hour, 19% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.48 and $27.78 an hour. About 33,540 work in the state. That is 23.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $19.53 an hour, which is 14% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.66 and $22.57 an hour. BLS counts 123,250 of them working in the state, 87.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 10% of the weighting: a median of $26.08 an hour, 12% below the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $21.61 and $30.51 an hour. About 9,540 work in the state. That is 6.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($27.78 an hour) would add about $740 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($21.48) would take off about $350. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 14,071,160 jobs across Texas (May 2025), which is 9.0% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $21.48 | $23.51 | $27.78 | $29.12 | 0.81 | state |
| Construction laborers (47-2061) | 30% | $17.66 | $19.53 | $22.57 | $22.66 | 0.86 | state |
| Sheet metal workers (47-2211) | 10% | $21.61 | $26.08 | $30.51 | $29.71 | 0.88 | state |
