Climate in Texarkana: timing your vinyl siding job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Texarkana (in the city). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
September through June is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Texarkana (10 of 12 months). July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Texarkana gets about 52 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 2 inches of snow. The wettest months are April, May and December (5.3 inches in May). Inside the workable window, January and September are the driest, at 4.3 and 3.9 inches. The station averages about 82 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.

Texarkana labor market for vinyl siding
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Texarkana is 0.73 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $20.51 an hour, which is 30% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $17.41 and $23.92 an hour. BLS counts 90 of them working in the area, 15.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $17.48 an hour, 23% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $15.37 and $19.11 an hour. About 450 work in the metro. That is 78.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 10%) the local median is $23.60 an hour, which is 21% below the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $18.32 and $28.95 an hour. BLS counts 50 of them working in the area, 8.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is about average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($23.92 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $590. At the 25th percentile ($17.41) it shrinks by about $540. The total moves by 4.2% or 3.8%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 57,580 jobs in the Texarkana area. That makes it the 296th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
