Home Improvement Contractors in Medford, NJ

The median home in the township of Medford was built in 1981, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the New Jersey median of 1970. That is newer than the Burlington County median of 1977.¹ About 48% of Medford's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 9% since 2010. The largest single share, 35%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it an older stock than Burlington County as a whole (55% 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 Medford are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1982 against 1977.¹ With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.

Housing in Medford is mostly detached single-family: 80% 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. Home ownership is the norm in Medford: 88% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the New Jersey share of 64%.¹ The median owner-occupied home in Medford is valued at $514,800 (ACS), above the New Jersey median of $454,400. Within Burlington County the median is $354,000, so Medford 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.
