Copperfield’s land was bought in 1977 and its first houses were sold in 1979. It is the oldest community covered here, and its houses have outlived their first roofs and, often, their first siding.
Copperfield’s mailing addresses use the 77095 ZIP code with “Houston” as the postal city, though the community sits outside the city in the Cypress area. For a roofing or siding job that means no city inspector; the association, the warranty and the contractor’s documentation are the checks.
Houses built from 1979 into the 1990s were commonly finished with hardboard lap siding on the upper story, gables and rear walls, as was typical of the period. Forty-odd years on, where it has not been replaced, it often shows swollen bottom edges and soft butt joints. Hardboard siding replacement

Expect the contractor to find some sheets that need replacing, and make sure the quote prices them per sheet. Full re-roof · Three-tab vs. laminated
Copperfield’s tall pines and hardwoods shade roofs and fill gutters. Fascia rot behind overflowing gutters is common, as is soffit damage from squirrels and birds. Trim and fascia
