Census and NOAA figures for the city of Shelbyville in Shelby County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Shelbyville was built in 1995, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Kentucky median of 1982. That is in line with the Shelby County median of 1993.1 Most of Shelbyville's housing is recent: only 34% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 17% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 25%, dates from 2000-2009. That makes it much the same age as Shelby County as a whole (36% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 2000s, the common first-time jobs are the first roof replacement, original water heater and HVAC, and warranty paperwork on anything still covered. Owner-occupied homes in Shelbyville are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2001 against 1990.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Shelbyville is mostly detached single-family: 65% of units, with 18% 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. 56% of occupied homes in Shelbyville are owner-occupied, below the Kentucky share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Shelbyville is valued at $257,100 (ACS), above the Kentucky median of $205,600. Within Shelby County the median is $304,800, so Shelbyville sits below 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.
The Frankfort Capital City Ap station averages 98 nights a year at or below 32°F and 29 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers bring about 28 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 47 inches a year, 12 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 4,386 heating degree days against 1,332 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. Shelbyville sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Shelbyville are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
