What drives deck building demand in Houston: the local numbers

Houston's share of homes built before 1980 is 47%, a smaller driver of deck building demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is below most of the markets we cover (41st percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 55%. Across the 39 other Texas markets we cover the average is 32%, so Houston sits above the state pattern. Operators here usually lean on other drivers instead, which is why the factors above matter more.
Houston's median home value is $277,800, a smaller driver of deck building demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is below most of the markets we cover (34th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at $369,200. Across the 39 other Texas markets we cover the average is $303,903, so Houston sits below the state pattern. Operators here usually lean on other drivers instead, which is why the factors above matter more.
Houston's single-family detached share is 43%, a smaller driver of deck building demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is below most of the markets we cover (28th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%. Across the 39 other Texas markets we cover the average is 62%, so Houston sits below the state pattern. Operators here usually lean on other drivers instead, which is why the factors above matter more.
Houston's owner-occupied share is 42%, a smaller driver of deck building demand than in many of the markets we cover.

deck building seasonality in Houston: a month-by-month calendar
deck building demand in Houston runs through the year rather than in one season; temperatures peak in August (average high 94°F) and bottom out in January (average low 46°F), so weather affects scheduling more than demand. The figures below are NOAA 1991-2020 monthly normals for HOUSTON HOBBY AP, about 10 miles from Houston; read them with the Houston market page, the deck building industry page, smart scheduling and the AI receptionist in mind.
Demand for deck building in Houston is spread across the year, so weather affects scheduling and routing more than it affects whether the work exists.
Across the whole year, Houston's average high peaks at 94°F in August and its average low bottoms out at 46°F in January; precipitation is highest in June (6.1 inches) and lowest in February (2.9 inches).

See pricing, smart scheduling, recurring scheduling, the deck building industry page and the Houston market page.
