The median home in the city of Texarkana was built in 1979, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Arkansas median of 1987.1 About 52% of Texarkana's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 10% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Texarkana are of similar age: median build years 1979 and 1980.1 Housing in Texarkana is mostly detached single-family: 69% of units, with 13% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units.

Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Texarkana, with 55% of occupied homes owner-occupied (66% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Texarkana is valued at $170,200 (ACS), below the Arkansas median of $188,000.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Texarkana Webb Fld station averages 36 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3

Summers are hot: about 83 days a year reach 90°F and 10 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. Rainfall is substantial: about 49 inches a year, 16 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.

Measurable snow is rare (about 2.1 inches a year).2,3 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,578 heating and 2,249 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Texarkana sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Hot-Humid).4 Building permits in Texarkana are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
