The median home in the city of Norcross was built in 1990, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Georgia median of 1992. That is older than the Gwinnett County median of 1996.1 Most of Norcross's housing is recent: only 18% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 11% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 50%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Gwinnett County as a whole (14% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Norcross are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1994 against 1987.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.

Norcross has a mixed housing stock: 47% detached houses, 19% attached or townhouse units and 26% in buildings of five or more units.1 60% of occupied homes in Norcross are owner-occupied, below the Georgia share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Norcross is valued at $403,400 (ACS), above the Georgia median of $303,300. Within Gwinnett County the median is $380,900, so Norcross 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 Atlanta Peachtree Ap station averages 49 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 run hot, with about 53 days a year at 90°F or more and 1 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.

Rainfall is substantial: about 51 inches a year, 15 days of it 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 2,980 heating and 1,728 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Norcross sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4
