Siding on a North Texas house works harder than in almost any other part of the country. It has to survive hailstorms that can dent steel and shatter vinyl, straight-line winds that gust past 60 mph during spring storm season, summer surfaces that hit 140°F in direct sun, and a foundation underneath that shifts with the region's expansive clay soil every time it rains and then dries out again. Alpine Exteriors installs and repairs siding across the Dallas-Fort Worth metro with those specific stresses in mind, not a generic national spec sheet.
We handle full tear-off and replacement, partial re-siding after storm or impact damage, new-construction and addition siding, and targeted repairs — cracked panels, buckled sections from heat expansion, hail-dented trim, and rot or pest damage around older wood siding. We also inspect and repair the flashing, house wrap, and trim details around windows and doors, since most siding failures in this region start at a poorly sealed joint rather than the field of the siding itself. If you're filing an insurance claim after a hailstorm, we document damage with photos and measurements that adjusters can actually use, and we'll walk you through what's typically covered versus what's cosmetic.
We install several siding systems and will tell you honestly which fits your budget, your home's exposure, and how much maintenance you're willing to do.
We start with an on-site inspection and measurement, including a look at the sheathing and house wrap underneath if any of the existing siding is coming off, since hidden water damage or rot changes the scope. From there we provide a written estimate that breaks out material, labor, and any substrate repair separately, so you can see where the money is going.
On tear-off jobs, we remove old siding down to the sheathing, repair or replace damaged wood, and install a weather-resistant barrier before any new siding goes up — this layer is what actually keeps wind-driven rain out, and skipping it is a corner some lower-bid contractors cut. We then install the new siding using fastening patterns and clearances rated for our wind exposure, with particular attention to corners, gable ends, and eave lines where straight-line wind and gusts put the most uplift pressure. Trim, flashing, and caulking go in last, followed by a final walkthrough where we point out where routine caulk maintenance will be needed down the road. Most single-family re-siding projects take one to two weeks depending on square footage, weather delays, and whether we're also repairing substrate damage.
A few local realities shape almost every siding decision we make here:
Alpine Exteriors installs and repairs siding throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Arlington, Irving, McKinney, and Denton, along with the surrounding communities in between. If you're outside this list but nearby, ask — we may still be able to help.
It depends heavily on material choice, home size, trim complexity, and whether substrate repair is needed underneath. Vinyl is the least expensive option per square foot; fiber cement and impact-rated products cost more upfront but generally hold up better against hail and heat cycling. We provide itemized written estimates so you can see exactly what's driving the cost on your specific project.
Impact ratings reduce the likelihood of cracking or puncture under typical hail sizes, but no siding material is guaranteed hail-proof against the largest stones our storms occasionally produce. What impact-rated products reliably do is outperform standard-grade materials in most events and sometimes qualify for an insurance premium discount — check with your carrier for specifics.
Hail damage tends to show as scattered dents, chips, or punctures across exposed surfaces, often worse on the side of the house that faced the storm. Foundation-related cracking usually appears as diagonal or vertical cracks concentrated near corners, window and door openings, or where an addition meets the original structure, and it tends to reappear after repair if the underlying movement isn't addressed. We flag which pattern we're seeing during an inspection so you're not paying to fix a cosmetic symptom of a structural issue.
Most single-family homes take one to two weeks from tear-off to final trim and cleanup, depending on square footage, material lead times, and weather. Storm season can extend scheduling across the industry generally, since demand for siding repair spikes right after major hail events.
If your siding is showing hail dents, heat-warped panels, or cracking that lines up with foundation movement, it's worth an honest inspection before you decide between repair and replacement.
