The median home in the city of Boaz was built in 1981, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Alabama median of 1986. That is older than the Marshall County median of 1986.1 About 48% of Boaz's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 9% since 2010. The largest single share, 32%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Marshall County as a whole (41% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Boaz are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1987 against 1977.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.

Housing in Boaz is mostly detached single-family: 72% of units, with 11% 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. 67% of occupied homes in Boaz are owner-occupied, below the Alabama share of 70%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Boaz is valued at $199,200 (ACS), close to the Alabama median of $209,900. Within Marshall County the median is $201,500, so Boaz sits close to it.1

The Gadsden 19 N station averages 67 nights a year at or below 32°F and 11 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers bring about 26 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 58 inches, with 17 days a year of 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 3,446 heating degree days against 1,290 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. Boaz sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Boaz are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
