Census and NOAA figures for the city of Brenham in Washington County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Brenham was built in 1983, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Washington County median of 1989.1 About 47% of Brenham's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 18% since 2010. The largest single share, 24%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Washington County as a whole (37% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Brenham are of similar age: median build years 1983 and 1983.1
Housing in Brenham is mostly detached single-family: 61% 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 Brenham, with 51% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Brenham is valued at $241,100 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800. Within Washington County the median is $288,100, so Brenham sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The College Stn station averages 16 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 117 days a year reach 90°F and 18 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 42 inches a year, 12 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.
Cooling dominates the year: about 3,169 cooling degree days against 1,545 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. The coast is about 90 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Brenham sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6
Building permits in Brenham are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
