The median home in the city of Graham was built in 1987, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the North Carolina median of 1991. That is in line with the Alamance County median of 1988.1 Graham's housing is newer than the national mix: 45% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 19% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 22%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Alamance County as a whole (42% built before 1980).1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Graham are of similar age: median build years 1987 and 1989.1

Housing in Graham is mostly detached single-family: 66% of units, with 18% 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. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Graham, with 53% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the North Carolina share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Graham is valued at $233,800 (ACS), below the North Carolina median of $288,900. Within Alamance County the median is $241,500, so Graham 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.

The Burlington Alamance Ap station averages 78 nights a year at or below 32°F and 13 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers bring about 48 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 43 inches a year, 11 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 and cooling loads are both real: about 3,268 heating and 1,737 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Graham sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Graham are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
