The median home in the city of Plano was built in 1993, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Texas median of 1992.1 Most of Plano's housing is recent: only 18% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 14% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Plano are older than rentals: a median build year of 1991 against 1997.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.

Plano has a mixed housing stock: 60% detached houses, 4% attached or townhouse units and 32% in buildings of five or more units.1 57% of occupied homes in Plano are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Plano is valued at $465,900 (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 Mckinney Muni Ap station averages 48 nights a year at or below 32°F and 5 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers are hot: about 97 days a year reach 90°F and 17 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 12 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Measurable snow is rare (about 2.6 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,531 cooling degree days against 2,498 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.
