That is older than the Rockland County median of 1971.1 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 New Hempstead are of similar age: median build years 1966 and 1963.1 The median owner-occupied home in New Hempstead is valued at $816,600 (ACS), above the New York median of $423,800. Within Rockland County the median is $596,900, so New Hempstead 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 Westchester Co Ap station averages 105 nights a year at or below 32°F and 32 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 10 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 48 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 dominates the year: about 5,492 heating degree days against 787 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. New Hempstead is about 22 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.

New Hempstead sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).6 Building permits in New Hempstead are normally issued by the village building department.7,8
