Housing in Grand Junction is mostly detached single-family: 64% of units, with 17% 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. 64% of occupied homes in Grand Junction are owner-occupied (66% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Grand Junction is valued at $389,800 (ACS), below the Colorado median of $539,400.1 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 Grand Junction Walker Fld station averages 137 nights a year at or below 32°F and 50 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 run hot, with about 68 days a year at 90°F or more and 8 at 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.

The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 9 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Snowfall averages about 18 inches a year.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 5,497 heating degree days against 1,233 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.

Grand Junction sits in IECC climate zone 5B (Cold).4 Building permits in Grand Junction are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
