South of Plano, and a generation older

Older Roofs and Siding in Richardson, TX

Plano's median house dates from 1993. Richardson's dates from 1986, and the gap is wider than it sounds: about 24% of Richardson's housing units were built before 1970, against under 5% in Plano. The questions a Plano homeowner starts asking at 30 years, Richardson has been asking for a while.

Older by a generation

What the Older Stock Changes

More roofs on a third covering

A 1960s house has had time for three. Layer count and decking type matter more than on a 1990s house. Start with a roof inspection.

Original wood at the edges

Sixty-year-old fascia and soffit have been painted many times and are often soft behind the gutters. See fascia and soffit repair.

Walls that have been patched

Older siding has usually been repaired in pieces. A siding inspection sorts sound from soft before any money goes into paint.

A Different City Hall

Plano's re-roof handout, its 25% threshold and its contractor registration are Plano's. Richardson has its own building department and its own rules, and this site does not quote them. The contractor confirms what Richardson requires for the address before work starts.

An Older Richardson House?

Give the build year. On a house from the 1950s or 60s it changes what a contractor looks for.
