Census and NOAA figures for the city of Gretna in Sarpy County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Gretna was built in 2002, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Nebraska median of 1975. That is newer than the Sarpy County median of 1996.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Gretna's housing is recent: only 22% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 22% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 35%, dates from 2000-2009. That makes it an older stock than Sarpy County as a whole (29% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 2000s, the common first-time jobs are the first roof replacement, original water heater and HVAC, and warranty paperwork on anything still covered.
Owner-occupied homes in Gretna are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2003 against 1992.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components. Housing in Gretna is mostly detached single-family: 79% of units, with 15% 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 Gretna: 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Nebraska share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Gretna is valued at $341,600 (ACS), above the Nebraska median of $238,600. Within Sarpy County the median is $314,100, so Gretna sits above 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. Winters are long: the Ashland #2 station averages 144 nights a year at or below 32°F and 69 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.
Summers bring about 37 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 32 inches, with 8 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 6,221 heating degree days against 1,102 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.
Gretna sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).4 Building permits in Gretna are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
