Census and NOAA figures for the city of Muscle Shoals in Colbert County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Muscle Shoals was built in 1990, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Alabama median of 1986. That is newer than the Colbert County median of 1979.1 Most of Muscle Shoals's housing is recent: only 33% 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 an older stock than Colbert County as a whole (51% 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 Muscle Shoals are older than rentals: a median build year of 1986 against 2003.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in Muscle Shoals is mostly detached single-family: 75% 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. 67% of occupied homes in Muscle Shoals are owner-occupied, below the Alabama share of 70%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Muscle Shoals is valued at $199,700 (ACS), close to the Alabama median of $209,900. Within Colbert County the median is $171,000, so Muscle Shoals sits above it.1
The Muscle Shoals Rgnl Ap station averages 56 nights a year at or below 32°F and 7 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 69 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.
Annual precipitation is about 54 inches, with 16 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 and cooling loads are both real: about 2,822 heating and 2,096 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Muscle Shoals sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4
Building permits in Muscle Shoals are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
