Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
Small defects are rarely only small. A sticking door is often a settling frame; a stain on a ceiling is a roof or a supply line. Fixing the symptom and ignoring the cause is how a cheap repair becomes an expensive one.
Exterior maintenance - caulk joints, failed glazing, clogged gutters, soft deck boards - is where deferred work compounds fastest, because every one of those lets water into something that costs more than the fix.
What the job includes
- Drywall patching and texture
- Door, window and trim repair
- Deck and fence repair
- Fixture and hardware replacement
- Gutter and exterior caulking
- Seasonal maintenance visits
Homes in Houston and handyman work
Public figures for the city of Houston in Harris County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
The median home in the city of Houston was built in 1982, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992.1 Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Houston Hobby Ap) averages 4.2 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 Without a freeze season, exterior maintenance is about sun and water: caulk, paint and drainage. Annual precipitation is about 56 inches, with 17 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rain finds every failed caulk joint and clogged gutter; exterior sealing is the most common repair request.
Heat is the governing season: about 100 days a year reach 90°F and 3 reach 100°F.2,3 Sun and heat age exterior caulk and finishes fastest; south- and west-facing sides go first. Houston has a mixed housing stock: 43% detached houses, 5% attached or townhouse units and 44% in buildings of five or more units.1 Houston is about 25 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Salt air corrodes exterior fasteners, hinges and railings; stainless replacements are the usual recommendation.
Cooling dominates the year: about 3,362 cooling degree days against 1,098 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.
