The census counted 3,099 people in Murphy in 2000 and 17,708 in 2010. Nearly six times the population in ten years means most of the city's houses were built inside that one decade, and their first roofs are now between about fifteen and twenty-five years old.
| Year | Population |
|---|---|
| 1990 | 1,547 |
| 2000 | 3,099 |
| 2010 | 17,708 |
| 2020 | 21,013 |
U.S. decennial census counts.
In Plano, build years are spread across three decades, so roofs come due a few at a time. In a city built in ten years they come due together. Contractors get busy, schedules stretch, and the homeowner who starts asking in the same month as everyone else waits longest.
The way around that is to know early. An inspection on a roof at fifteen or eighteen years tells you whether you have five years or two, while there is still time to plan the replacement for a season of your choosing.
Walls follow the same clock. Trim and siding on a 2005 house are twenty years old, which is about when the first soft corners show. See siding repair and trim.
Plano's re-roof handout, its 25% threshold and its contractor registration are Plano's. Murphy has its own building department and its own rules, and this site does not quote them. The contractor confirms what Murphy requires for the address before work starts.
Give the build year. A first-roof inspection is a short visit.
