Census and NOAA figures for the community of West Haven-Sylvan in Washington County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the community of West Haven-Sylvan was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Oregon median of 1981. That is older than the Washington County median of 1990.1 West Haven-Sylvan's housing is newer than the national mix: 40% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 21% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 29%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Washington County as a whole (36% 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 homes in West Haven-Sylvan are older than rentals: a median build year of 1978 against 1989.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
West Haven-Sylvan has a mixed housing stock: 46% detached houses, 5% attached or townhouse units and 40% in buildings of five or more units.1 60% of occupied homes in West Haven-Sylvan are owner-occupied, below the Oregon share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in West Haven-Sylvan is valued at $782,400 (ACS), above the Oregon median of $477,600. Within Washington County the median is $588,000, so West Haven-Sylvan 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.
The Vancouver Pearson Ap station averages 45 nights a year at or below 32°F and 2 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.

The coast is about 57 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 West Haven-Sylvan sits in IECC climate zone 4C (Marine).6
