The median home in the village of Harrison was built in 1962, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the New York median of 1959.1 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. The stock is old by national standards: 68% of Harrison's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 10% since 2010.1 Pre-1940 houses often have unlined chimneys, plaster walls and balloon framing, which change the scope of almost every trade.

Owner-occupied homes in Harrison are older than rentals: a median build year of 1960 against 1966.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap. Harrison has a mixed housing stock: 48% detached houses, 9% attached or townhouse units and 14% in buildings of five or more units.1 60% of occupied homes in Harrison are owner-occupied (54% statewide).1

The median owner-occupied home in Harrison is valued at $1,010,700 (ACS), above the New York median of $423,800.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have. Winters are long: the Westchester Co Ap station averages 105 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.

Hot days are uncommon: about 10 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 48 inches a year, 13 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 5,492 heating degree days against 787 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.

Harrison is about 4 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. Harrison sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).6 Building permits in Harrison are normally issued by the village building department.7,8
