Census and NOAA figures for the city of Red Wing in Goodhue County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Red Wing was built in 1971, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Minnesota median of 1979. That is in line with the Goodhue County median of 1973.1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Somewhat more of Red Wing's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 63% against 50%, with 5% built since 2010. The largest single share, 26%, dates from before 1940. That makes it much the same age as Goodhue County as a whole (59% built before 1980).1 Pre-1940 houses often have unlined chimneys, plaster walls and balloon framing, which change the scope of almost every trade.
Owner-occupied and rented homes in Red Wing are of similar age: median build years 1972 and 1971.1 Housing in Red Wing is mostly detached single-family: 60% of units, with 15% 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. 72% of occupied homes in Red Wing are owner-occupied, in line with the Minnesota share of 72%.1
The median owner-occupied home in Red Wing is valued at $237,300 (ACS), below the Minnesota median of $329,300. Within Goodhue County the median is $285,100, so Red Wing sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. Winters are long: the Red Wing Dam 3 station averages 154 nights a year at or below 32°F and 86 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.
Summer heat is moderate: about 10 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 32 inches, with 7 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 7,735 heating degree days against 665 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.
Red Wing sits in IECC climate zone 6A (Cold).4 Building permits in Red Wing are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
