Census and NOAA figures for the city of Katy in Harris County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Katy was built in 2003, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Texas median of 1992.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Katy's housing is recent: only 20% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 40% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Katy are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2008 against 1988.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Katy is mostly detached single-family: 85% of units, with 5% 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. Home ownership is the norm in Katy: 81% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Katy is valued at $401,700 (ACS), above the Texas median of $283,800.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
The Houston Sugarland Mem station averages 10 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 112 days a year reach 90°F and 6 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. Rainfall is substantial: about 50 inches a year, 14 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.
Cooling dominates the year: about 3,385 cooling degree days against 1,148 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. The coast is about 51 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Katy sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6
Building permits in Katy are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
