The median home in the city of Folsom was built in 1997, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the California median of 1976.1 Most of Folsom's housing is recent: only 13% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 15% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Folsom are older than rentals: a median build year of 1996 against 2000.1 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 Folsom is mostly detached single-family: 73% of units, with 18% 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. 70% of occupied homes in Folsom are owner-occupied (56% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Folsom is valued at $755,200 (ACS), close to the California median of $734,700.1

Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Sacramento 5 Ese) averages 4 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Summers are hot: about 90 days a year reach 90°F and 23 reach 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 low, about 19 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,138 heating and 1,576 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 The coast is about 93 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5

Folsom sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).6 Building permits in Folsom are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
