Census and NOAA figures for the city of Shreveport in Caddo Parish, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Shreveport was built in 1973, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Louisiana median of 1983.1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Somewhat more of Shreveport's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 65% against 50%, with 6% built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Shreveport are of similar age: median build years 1973 and 1975.1
Housing in Shreveport is mostly detached single-family: 67% of units, with 17% 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 Shreveport, with 53% of occupied homes owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Shreveport is valued at $178,900 (ACS), below the Louisiana median of $216,500.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Shreveport station averages 30 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Summers are hot: about 98 days a year reach 90°F and 11 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 51 inches a year, 17 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 0.9 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,676 cooling degree days against 2,068 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates. Shreveport sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Hot-humid).4
Building permits in Shreveport are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
