Owner-occupied and rented homes in Heartland are of similar age: median build years 2015 and 2012.1 Housing in Heartland is mostly detached single-family: 96% of units, with 0% 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.

Within Kaufman County the median is $320,900, so Heartland sits close to 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 103 days a year reach 90°F and 19 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 2,738 cooling degree days against 2,211 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.

Heartland sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Hot-Humid).4 Building permits in Heartland are normally issued by the county, as this is an unincorporated community.5,6 As an unincorporated community, permits and inspections run through the county.
