Census and NOAA figures for the community of Saks in Calhoun County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the community of Saks was built in 1974, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Alabama median of 1986. That is older than the Calhoun County median of 1979.1 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. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Saks are of similar age: median build years 1974 and 1971.1 Housing in Saks is mostly detached single-family: 83% of units, with 4% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 11% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units.
72% of occupied homes in Saks are owner-occupied, in line with the Alabama share of 70%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Saks is valued at $116,400 (ACS), below the Alabama median of $209,900. Within Calhoun County the median is $156,600, so Saks sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Anniston Metro Ap station averages 52 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 60 days a year at 90°F or more and 1 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 52 inches, with 15 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 2,634 heating and 1,971 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Saks sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Saks are normally issued by the county, as this is an unincorporated community.5,6 As an unincorporated community, permits and inspections run through the county.
