The median home in the city of El Paso was built in 1984, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992.1 El Paso's housing is newer than the national mix: 44% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 16% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in El Paso are of similar age: median build years 1985 and 1984.1 Housing in El Paso is mostly detached single-family: 67% of units, with 19% 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.

61% of occupied homes in El Paso are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in El Paso is valued at $184,500 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The El Paso Intl Ap station averages 42 nights a year at or below 32°F and 2 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.

Heat is the governing season: about 117 days a year reach 90°F and 26 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. The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 9 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.

Cooling dominates the year: about 2,662 cooling degree days against 2,206 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. El Paso sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).4 Building permits in El Paso are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
