The median home in the city of O'Fallon was built in 1997, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Illinois median of 1971.1 Most of O'Fallon's housing is recent: only 26% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 20% were built since 2010.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied and rented homes in O'Fallon are of similar age: median build years 1997 and 1997.1

Housing in O'Fallon is mostly detached single-family: 67% 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. 70% of occupied homes in O'Fallon are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in O'Fallon is valued at $295,700 (ACS), above the Illinois median of $263,300.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.

The Belleville Siu Rsch station averages 93 nights a year at or below 32°F and 27 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 53 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.

Rainfall is substantial: about 43 inches a year, 13 days of it 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 dominates the year: about 4,209 heating degree days against 1,579 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.

O'Fallon sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in O'Fallon are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
