The median home in the city of Las Vegas was built in 1994, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Nevada median of 1996.1 Most of Las Vegas's housing is recent: only 23% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 12% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Las Vegas are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1996 against 1992.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.

Housing in Las Vegas is mostly detached single-family: 62% of units, with 23% 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. 57% of occupied homes in Las Vegas are owner-occupied (60% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Las Vegas is valued at $427,900 (ACS), close to the Nevada median of $435,400.1

Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Las Vegas Mccarran Ap) averages 9.8 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Heat is the governing season: about 137 days a year reach 90°F and 78 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.

The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 4 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Measurable snow is rare (about 0.2 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 3,720 cooling degree days against 1,836 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.

Las Vegas sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).4 Building permits in Las Vegas are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
