Siding Installation in Amarillo, TX

Fiber cement and metal siding tend to perform well in Amarillo because they resist hail impact, high winds, and UV fading better than lighter materials. Vinyl is also a common choice when it is installed correctly with room for thermal expansion, since Amarillo sees wide temperature swings between seasons.

Vinyl siding is nailed in nearly all standard installations, not screwed. Nails are driven through the center of each nailing slot and left slightly loose so the panel can expand and contract with Amarillo's temperature changes without buckling or cracking.

Installing over existing siding is sometimes done, but it is not always the right call. If the material underneath is damaged, rotted, or holding moisture, removing it first gives the new installation a clean, stable surface and prevents hidden problems from getting worse.

Amarillo is one of the most hail-prone cities in the country and also averages the highest annual wind speed in Texas, so impact resistance and wind uplift ratings matter when selecting a siding material. Homes in Canyon, Bushland, and across the Panhandle face the same conditions, making material selection a practical decision, not just an aesthetic one.

Yes, siding installed over insulated house wrap or rigid foam board reduces the amount of heat that passes through your exterior walls. For Amarillo homeowners dealing with triple-digit summer temperatures, that added thermal resistance can make a noticeable difference in indoor comfort and energy use.

Siding installation starts at the bottom of the wall and works upward, with each panel overlapping the one below it. This method channels water away from the wall surface and is standard practice for all siding types we install in Amarillo and across the Panhandle.
