Home Improvement Contractors in Monroeville, AL

The median home in the city of Monroeville was built in 1981, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Alabama median of 1986. That is older than the Monroe County median of 1984.¹ About 47% of Monroeville's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 7% since 2010. The largest single share, 41%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Monroe County as a whole (42% built before 1980).¹ On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Monroeville are of similar age: median build years 1981 and 1981.¹

Housing in Monroeville is mostly detached single-family: 61% of units, with 10% 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. 57% of occupied homes in Monroeville are owner-occupied, below the Alabama share of 70%.¹ The median owner-occupied home in Monroeville is valued at $122,900 (ACS), below the Alabama median of $209,900. Within Monroe County the median is $120,600, so Monroeville sits close to it.¹ With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
