The median home in the city of Kaufman was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Kaufman County median of 2005.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Kaufman are of similar age: median build years 1975 and 1977.1 Housing in Kaufman is mostly detached single-family: 72% of units, with 13% 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.

Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Kaufman, with 47% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Kaufman is valued at $221,800 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800. Within Kaufman County the median is $320,900, so Kaufman sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Terrell Muni Ap station averages 35 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3

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.

Kaufman sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Hot-Humid).4 Building permits in Kaufman are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
