Housing in Livermore is mostly detached single-family: 69% of units, with 14% 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. 72% of occupied homes in Livermore are owner-occupied (56% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Livermore is valued at $1,105,600 (ACS), above the California median of $734,700.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
