Census and NOAA figures for the city of Buford in Gwinnett County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Buford was built in 1996, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Georgia median of 1992. That is in line with the Gwinnett County median of 1996.1 Most of Buford's housing is recent: only 25% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 29% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 30%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Gwinnett County as a whole (14% 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 Buford are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2000 against 1987.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Buford is mostly detached single-family: 67% of units, with 13% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 8% 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 Buford are owner-occupied, in line with the Georgia share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Buford is valued at $368,700 (ACS), above the Georgia median of $303,300. Within Gwinnett County the median is $380,900, so Buford sits close to 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.
The Gainesville Gilmer Ap station averages 42 nights a year at or below 32°F and 4 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers bring about 35 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 52 inches, with 15 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.
Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 3,002 heating and 1,632 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Buford sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Buford are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
