Second stories. 94% of homes in 77019 have two or more stories, one of the higher shares in the Houston area (the area-wide share is about 40%). Two-story walls need taller ladders or a lift, more setup and slower work on the high sections, which is why the top of the range here climbs fast.
Size varies a lot. The middle half of homes here runs from 2,180 to 4,080 sq ft. A home near 2,180 sq ft typically prices below this page's range; one near 4,080 sq ft above it.

Wood rot repair, a color change from dark to light, and paint itself are on top. That's a planning number, not a quote; a painter will confirm after seeing the house.
