Census and NOAA figures for the city of Glenwood Springs in Garfield County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Glenwood Springs was built in 1982, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Colorado median of 1988. That is older than the Garfield County median of 1993.1 About 48% of Glenwood Springs's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 11% since 2010. The largest single share, 24%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Garfield County as a whole (28% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows. Owner-occupied homes in Glenwood Springs are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1988 against 1977.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Glenwood Springs has a mixed housing stock: 46% detached houses, 7% attached or townhouse units and 26% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Glenwood Springs, with 55% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Colorado share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Glenwood Springs is valued at $619,000 (ACS), above the Colorado median of $539,400. Within Garfield County the median is $527,800, so Glenwood Springs sits above it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
Winters are long: the Rifle Garfield Co Ap station averages 173 nights a year at or below 32°F and 74 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions. Summers run hot, with about 54 days a year at 90°F or more and 3 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.
The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 11 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Heating dominates the year: about 6,398 heating degree days against 631 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
Glenwood Springs sits in IECC climate zone 5B (Cold).4 Building permits in Glenwood Springs are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
