The median home in the city of Greenville was built in 1970, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Mississippi median of 1986.1 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. The stock is old by national standards: 74% of Greenville's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 2% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Greenville are older than rentals: a median build year of 1968 against 1973.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.

Housing in Greenville is mostly detached single-family: 74% 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 Greenville, with 54% of occupied homes owner-occupied (70% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Greenville is valued at $103,800 (ACS), below the Mississippi median of $169,800.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.

The Greenville Asos station averages 42 nights a year at or below 32°F and 3 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers are hot: about 86 days a year reach 90°F and 3 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, 15 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. Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,619 heating and 2,295 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Greenville sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4

Building permits in Greenville are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
