Census and NOAA figures for the city of Bath in Sagadahoc County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Bath was built in 1938, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Maine median of 1977. That is older than the Sagadahoc County median of 1977.1 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. The stock is old by national standards: 79% of Bath's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 7% since 2010. The largest single share, 58%, dates from before 1940. That makes it a newer stock than Sagadahoc County as a whole (54% built before 1980).1 Pre-1940 houses often have unlined chimneys, plaster walls and balloon framing, which change the scope of almost every trade.
Owner-occupied homes in Bath are older than rentals: a median build year of 1938 against 1944.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap. Bath has a mixed housing stock: 60% detached houses, 4% attached or townhouse units and 21% in buildings of five or more units.1 64% of occupied homes in Bath are owner-occupied, below the Maine share of 74%.1
The median owner-occupied home in Bath is valued at $310,900 (ACS), close to the Maine median of $296,600. Within Sagadahoc County the median is $333,300, so Bath sits below it.1 Winters are long: the Brunswick Nas station averages 151 nights a year at or below 32°F and 72 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. Hot days are uncommon: about 4 days a year reach 90°F.2,3
Rainfall is substantial: about 50 inches a year, 12 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 dominates the year: about 7,340 heating degree days against 352 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.
Bath is about 10 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote. Bath sits in IECC climate zone 6A (Cold).6 Building permits in Bath are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
