The median home in the city of Moody was built in 2002, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Alabama median of 1986. That is newer than the St. Clair County median of 1998.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Moody's housing is recent: only 22% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 18% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 39%, dates from 2000-2009. That makes it much the same age as St. Clair County as a whole (23% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 2000s, the common first-time jobs are the first roof replacement, original water heater and HVAC, and warranty paperwork on anything still covered.

Owner-occupied and rented homes in Moody are of similar age: median build years 2001 and 2004.1 Housing in Moody is mostly detached single-family: 79% of units, with 8% 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. 74% of occupied homes in Moody are owner-occupied, above the Alabama share of 70%.1

The median owner-occupied home in Moody is valued at $237,500 (ACS), above the Alabama median of $209,900. Within St. Clair County the median is $226,300, so Moody sits close to 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. The Birmingham Ap station averages 47 nights a year at or below 32°F and 6 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 65 days a year at 90°F or more and 2 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. Annual precipitation is about 57 inches, with 18 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.

Measurable snow is rare (about 1.4 inches a year).2,3 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,533 heating and 2,177 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Moody sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Moody are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
