Census and NOAA figures for the city of Lake Mills in Jefferson County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Lake Mills was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Wisconsin median of 1975. That is newer than the Jefferson County median of 1973.1 About 54% of Lake Mills's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 10% since 2010. The largest single share, 25%, dates from before 1940. That makes it an older stock than Jefferson 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. Lake Mills has a mixed housing stock: 59% detached houses, 2% attached or townhouse units and 20% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 13% 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.
67% of occupied homes in Lake Mills are owner-occupied, in line with the Wisconsin share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Lake Mills is valued at $317,100 (ACS), above the Wisconsin median of $266,500. Within Jefferson County the median is $274,100, so Lake Mills 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. Winters are long: the Madison Dane Rgnl Ap station averages 147 nights a year at or below 32°F and 71 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 9 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 37 inches, with 8 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Snowfall averages about 52 inches a year.2,3 Real snowfall means ice-and-water membrane, attic ventilation and roof load are standard parts of a roofing scope.
Heating dominates the year: about 7,138 heating degree days against 627 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. Lake Mills sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).4 Building permits in Lake Mills are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
