Siding Contractors Houston: Comparing Bids
Two bids for the same house in Houston, Texas can be thousands apart because they don't cover the same work. Line them up item by item:
- Tear-off and disposal of the old siding
- A price per sheet for rotted sheathing found after tear-off
- House wrap and window flashing
- Material, profile and color
- Trim, soffit and fascia
- Caulk and paint, and how many coats
- Permit, if one is needed
- Cleanup and nail pickup
The lowest number often leaves out sheathing or paint.
Permits, Deed Restrictions and HOAs
Siding work often needs a permit, depending on where the house is and the scope. The Houston Permitting Center handles permits inside city limits, and the contractor can check what applies to your address.
Deed restrictions and HOA rules can limit colors or materials, and homes in a city historic district need approval before the siding changes. Check those before you pick a product.
