The median home in the city of Stephenville was built in 1984, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Erath County median of 1991.1 Stephenville's housing is newer than the national mix: 45% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 21% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 26%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Erath County as a whole (36% built before 1980).1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied homes in Stephenville are older than rentals: a median build year of 1978 against 1991.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.

Stephenville has a mixed housing stock: 57% detached houses, 4% attached or townhouse units and 23% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Stephenville, with 44% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Stephenville is valued at $241,300 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800. Within Erath County the median is $269,100, so Stephenville 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 Stephenville station averages 54 nights a year at or below 32°F and 7 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 98 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 34 inches, with 10 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,502 cooling degree days against 2,484 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. Stephenville sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Hot-Humid).4

Building permits in Stephenville are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
