Census and NOAA figures for the borough of Pompton Lakes in Passaic County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the borough of Pompton Lakes was built in 1963, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the New Jersey median of 1970. That is newer than the Passaic County median of 1956.1 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. Owner-occupied homes in Pompton Lakes are older than rentals: a median build year of 1959 against 1975.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in Pompton Lakes is mostly detached single-family: 67% of units, with 20% 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 Pompton Lakes: 80% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the New Jersey share of 64%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Pompton Lakes is valued at $442,400 (ACS), close to the New Jersey median of $454,400. Within Passaic County the median is $459,500, so Pompton Lakes sits close to it.1
Winters are long: the Caldwell Essex Co Ap station averages 108 nights a year at or below 32°F and 32 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 21 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 45 inches a year, 11 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 5,272 heating degree days against 973 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. Pompton Lakes is about 28 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote.
Pompton Lakes sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).6 Building permits in Pompton Lakes are normally issued by the borough building department.7,8
