The median home in the town of Bernalillo was built in 1992, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the New Mexico median of 1985. That is older than the Sandoval County median of 1997.1 Most of Bernalillo's housing is recent: only 31% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 24% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 28%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Sandoval County as a whole (20% built before 1980).1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied homes in Bernalillo are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1995 against 1990.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.

Bernalillo has a mixed housing stock: 58% detached houses, 2% attached or townhouse units and 6% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 31% of units.1 Manufactured homes take different roofing, skirting, anchoring and addition details from site-built houses, so say which kind of home it is when you call. Home ownership is the norm in Bernalillo: 77% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the New Mexico share of 70%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Bernalillo is valued at $255,500 (ACS), close to the New Mexico median of $248,100. Within Sandoval County the median is $313,800, so Bernalillo sits below it.1

The Albuquerque Intl Ap station averages 93 nights a year at or below 32°F and 13 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 64 days a year at 90°F or more and 3 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.

The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 9 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Snowfall averages about 8 inches a year.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 3,996 heating degree days against 1,438 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.

Bernalillo sits in IECC climate zone 5 (Cold).4 Building permits in Bernalillo are normally issued by the town building department.5,6
