Home Improvement Contractors in Evans, CO

The median home in the city of Evans was built in 2003, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Colorado median of 1988. That is in line with the Weld County median of 2001.¹ A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Evans's housing is recent: only 18% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 18% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 46%, dates from 2000-2009. That makes it an older stock than Weld County as a whole (30% built before 1980).¹ On houses from the 2000s, the common first-time jobs are the first roof replacement, original water heater and HVAC, and warranty paperwork on anything still covered.

Owner-occupied and rented homes in Evans are of similar age: median build years 2003 and 2003.¹ Housing in Evans is mostly detached single-family: 62% of units, with 14% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 10% of units.¹ A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 68% of occupied homes in Evans are owner-occupied, in line with the Colorado share of 66%.¹

The median owner-occupied home in Evans is valued at $351,000 (ACS), below the Colorado median of $539,400. Within Weld County the median is $471,700, so Evans 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 Loveland 2N station averages 174 nights a year at or below 32°F and 83 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 38 days a year at or above 90°F.^2,3 Annual precipitation is low, about 16 inches.^2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Snowfall averages about 47 inches a year.^2,3 Real snowfall means ice-and-water membrane, attic ventilation and roof load are standard parts of a roofing scope.

Heating dominates the year: about 6,456 heating degree days against 530 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. Evans sits in IECC climate zone 5B (Cold).⁴ Building permits in Evans are normally issued by the city building department.^5,6
