The median home in the community of Savannah was built in 2008, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Texas median of 1992. That is newer than the Denton County median of 2003.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Savannah's housing is recent: only 0% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 39% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 56%, dates from 2000-2009. That makes it an older stock than Denton County as a whole (12% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 2000s, the common first-time jobs are the first roof replacement, original water heater and HVAC, and warranty paperwork on anything still covered.

Owner-occupied and rented homes in Savannah are of similar age: median build years 2009 and 2007.1 Housing in Savannah is mostly detached single-family: 94% of units, with 6% 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. 72% of occupied homes in Savannah are owner-occupied, above the Texas share of 63%.1

The median owner-occupied home in Savannah is valued at $400,000 (ACS), above the Texas median of $283,800. Within Denton County the median is $437,200, so Savannah sits below 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. The Denton Muni Ap station averages 52 nights a year at or below 32°F and 6 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.

Heat is the governing season: about 104 days a year reach 90°F and 22 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 36 inches, with 11 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Measurable snow is rare (about 2.6 inches a year).2,3

Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,637 heating and 2,475 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Savannah sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Hot-Humid).4 Building permits in Savannah 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.
