That is newer than the Hays County median of 2007.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Dripping Springs are of similar age: median build years 2014 and 2013.1 Dripping Springs has a mixed housing stock: 54% detached houses, 4% attached or townhouse units and 29% in buildings of five or more units.1

Within Hays County the median is $399,800, so Dripping Springs 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.

Heat is the governing season: about 123 days a year reach 90°F and 29 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 36 inches, with 11 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Measurable snow is rare (about 0.2 inches a year).2,3

Cooling dominates the year: about 3,290 cooling degree days against 1,442 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. Dripping Springs sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).4 Building permits in Dripping Springs are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
