Census and NOAA figures for the city of Madison in Madison County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Madison was built in 2001, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Alabama median of 1986.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Madison's housing is recent: only 11% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 26% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Madison are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2002 against 1996.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Madison is mostly detached single-family: 75% of units, with 16% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 74% of occupied homes in Madison are owner-occupied (70% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Madison is valued at $398,800 (ACS), above the Alabama median of $209,900.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
The Huntsville Intl Ap station averages 56 nights a year at or below 32°F and 8 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers run hot, with about 62 days a year at 90°F or more and 2 at 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.
Annual precipitation is about 54 inches, with 16 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,831 heating and 2,107 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Madison sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4
Building permits in Madison are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
