Census and NOAA figures for the city of Rome in Floyd County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Rome was built in 1974, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Georgia median of 1992.1 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. Somewhat more of Rome's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 59% against 50%, with 8% built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Rome are older than rentals: a median build year of 1970 against 1979.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in Rome is mostly detached single-family: 65% of units, with 19% 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. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Rome, with 49% of occupied homes owner-occupied (66% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Rome is valued at $234,300 (ACS), below the Georgia median of $303,300.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Rome R B Russell Ap station averages 64 nights a year at or below 32°F and 8 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 72 days a year at 90°F or more and 2 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, 13 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 2,974 heating and 1,838 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Rome sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4
Building permits in Rome are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
