Census and NOAA figures for the town of Carbondale in Garfield County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the town of Carbondale was built in 1994, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Colorado median of 1988. That is in line with the Garfield County median of 1993.1 Most of Carbondale's housing is recent: only 24% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 19% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 38%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Garfield County as a whole (28% 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 Carbondale are older than rentals: a median build year of 1992 against 2001.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Carbondale has a mixed housing stock: 46% detached houses, 18% attached or townhouse units and 12% in buildings of five or more units.1 64% of occupied homes in Carbondale are owner-occupied, in line with the Colorado share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Carbondale is valued at $900,600 (ACS), above the Colorado median of $539,400. Within Garfield County the median is $527,800, so Carbondale sits above it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
Winters are long: the Aspen Pitkin Co Ap station averages 212 nights a year at or below 32°F and 115 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions. Hot days are uncommon: about 2 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is low, about 15 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.
Heating dominates the year: about 8,142 heating degree days against 90 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope. Carbondale sits in IECC climate zone 5B (Cold).4 Building permits in Carbondale are normally issued by the town building department.5,6
