Housing in New Braunfels is mostly detached single-family: 68% of units, with 20% 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. 65% of occupied homes in New Braunfels are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in New Braunfels is valued at $339,400 (ACS), above the Texas median of $283,800.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.

Annual precipitation is about 31 inches, with 8 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
