The median home in the city of Colona was built in 1965, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Illinois median of 1971. That is newer than the Henry County median of 1961.1 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. Owner-occupied homes in Colona are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1968 against 1956.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.

Housing in Colona is mostly detached single-family: 87% of units, with 0% 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. Home ownership is the norm in Colona: 78% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Illinois share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Colona is valued at $147,500 (ACS), below the Illinois median of $263,300. Within Henry County the median is $151,600, so Colona sits close to 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 Moline Quad City Intl Ap station averages 129 nights a year at or below 32°F and 57 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. Summer heat is moderate: about 22 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 38 inches, with 10 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3

Snowfall averages about 36 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 6,024 heating degree days against 1,040 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.

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