Census and NOAA figures for the city of DeSoto in Dallas County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of DeSoto was built in 1993, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Texas median of 1992.1 Most of DeSoto's housing is recent: only 21% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 14% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in DeSoto are of similar age: median build years 1994 and 1993.1 Housing in DeSoto is mostly detached single-family: 74% 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.
70% of occupied homes in DeSoto are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in DeSoto is valued at $319,400 (ACS), above the Texas median of $283,800.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have. The Dallas Redbird Ap station averages 27 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3
Heat is the governing season: about 104 days a year reach 90°F and 22 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 38 inches, with 11 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,835 cooling degree days against 2,093 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.
DeSoto sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).4 Building permits in DeSoto are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
