The median home in the city of Delta was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Colorado median of 1988. That is older than the Delta County median of 1979.1 Somewhat more of Delta's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 57% against 50%, with 9% built since 2010. The largest single share, 24%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Delta County as a whole (51% built before 1980).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 Delta are of similar age: median build years 1976 and 1978.1

Housing in Delta is mostly detached single-family: 69% of units, with 11% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 12% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 66% of occupied homes in Delta are owner-occupied, in line with the Colorado share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Delta is valued at $283,300 (ACS), below the Colorado median of $539,400. Within Delta County the median is $343,200, so Delta 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.

Winters are long: the Montrose Rgnl Ap station averages 156 nights a year at or below 32°F and 65 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. Summers bring about 44 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 8 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.

Heating dominates the year: about 6,017 heating degree days against 700 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. Delta sits in IECC climate zone 5B (Cold).4 Building permits in Delta are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
