The median home in the city of Morristown was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Tennessee median of 1987.1 Somewhat more of Morristown's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 58% against 50%, with 10% built since 2010.1 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 homes in Morristown are older than rentals: a median build year of 1969 against 1984.1 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 Morristown is mostly detached single-family: 61% of units, with 15% 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.

Summers bring about 31 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 47 inches a year, 10 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.

Snowfall averages about 3 inches a year.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 3,672 heating degree days against 1,412 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
