The median home in the city of Franklin was built in 2002, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Tennessee median of 1987.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Franklin's housing is recent: only 13% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 32% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Franklin are of similar age: median build years 2001 and 2003.1

Summers run hot, with about 54 days a year at 90°F or more and 1 at 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.
