Home Improvement Contractors in Spring, TX

The median home in the community of Spring was built in 1993, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Texas median of 1992. That is newer than the Harris County median of 1988.¹ Most of Spring's housing is recent: only 30% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 20% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 29%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it an older stock than Harris County as a whole (37% 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 and rented homes in Spring are of similar age: median build years 1996 and 1993.¹
