Dallas grows fast and sits on soil that never sits still. Between new-build suburbs and the region''s expansive clay, foundation and exterior work stay near the top of the local list all year.
What is different about Dallas
- Shifting soil: the clay expands and contracts with the seasons, so foundation repair, slab leaks, and cracked drywall are common.
- Storm season: spring brings hail and high winds · roofing and exterior repair spike afterward.
- Heat: long, hot summers make AC service a near-emergency trade from June on.
- New builds: rapid suburban growth means a lot of newer homes needing finish-out, fencing, and landscaping.
