The largest single share, 33%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Henderson County as a whole (34% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Gun Barrel City are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1990 against 1982.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.

Housing in Gun Barrel City is mostly detached single-family: 72% of units, with 4% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 21% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. Home ownership is the norm in Gun Barrel City: 91% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Gun Barrel City is valued at $237,300 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800. Within Henderson County the median is $211,300, so Gun Barrel City sits above it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.

The Corsicana Campbell Fld station averages 26 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 107 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. Annual precipitation is about 39 inches, with 12 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3

Cooling dominates the year: about 2,772 cooling degree days against 2,021 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.
