The median home in the city of Gladewater was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Gregg County median of 1980.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Gladewater are of similar age: median build years 1977 and 1977.1 Housing in Gladewater is mostly detached single-family: 84% of units, with 1% 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.

The median owner-occupied home in Gladewater is valued at $174,000 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800. Within Gregg County the median is $203,400, so Gladewater 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 Longview E Tx Rgnl Ap station averages 35 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 100 days a year reach 90°F and 14 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.

Rainfall is substantial: about 45 inches a year, 14 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Cooling dominates the year: about 2,612 cooling degree days against 2,136 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.

Gladewater sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Hot-Humid).4 Building permits in Gladewater are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
