Housing in Elk Grove is mostly detached single-family: 86% of units, with 9% 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 Elk Grove are owner-occupied (56% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Elk Grove is valued at $630,100 (ACS), below the California median of $734,700.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
