Census and NOAA figures for the town of Guttenberg in Hudson County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the town of Guttenberg was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the New Jersey median of 1970. That is newer than the Hudson County median of 1966.1 Somewhat more of Guttenberg's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 62% against 50%, with 11% built since 2010. The largest single share, 38%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it much the same age as Hudson County as a whole (62% built before 1980).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 and rented homes in Guttenberg are of similar age: median build years 1975 and 1975.1
Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Guttenberg, with 40% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the New Jersey share of 64%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Guttenberg is valued at $379,000 (ACS), below the New Jersey median of $454,400. Within Hudson County the median is $539,700, so Guttenberg sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.

Summer heat is moderate: about 17 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 50 inches a year, 14 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. Snowfall averages about 30 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 4,553 heating degree days against 1,222 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.
