The median home in the city of Thibodaux was built in 1975, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Louisiana median of 1983. That is older than the Lafourche Parish median of 1982.1 Somewhat more of Thibodaux's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 61% against 50%, with 13% built since 2010. The largest single share, 31%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Lafourche Parish as a whole (47% built before 1980).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. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Thibodaux are of similar age: median build years 1977 and 1974.1

Housing in Thibodaux is mostly detached single-family: 67% of units, with 12% 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. 62% of occupied homes in Thibodaux are owner-occupied, below the Louisiana share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Thibodaux is valued at $232,500 (ACS), above the Louisiana median of $216,500. Within Lafourche Parish the median is $193,900, so Thibodaux sits above it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.

The Thibodaux 4 Se station averages 11 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 0 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. Annual precipitation is about 71 inches, with 22 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.

Cooling dominates the year: about 3,102 cooling degree days against 1,215 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. Thibodaux is about 35 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote.
