Census and NOAA figures for the city of St. Albans in Franklin County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The stock is old by national standards: 80% of St. Albans's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 5% since 2010.1 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 homes in St. Albans are older than rentals: a median build year of 1938 against 1961.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
St. Albans has a mixed housing stock: 44% detached houses, 5% attached or townhouse units and 20% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in St. Albans, with 49% of occupied homes owner-occupied (73% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in St. Albans is valued at $263,400 (ACS), below the Vermont median of $316,600.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
Winters are long: the Plattsburgh Intl Ap station averages 154 nights a year at or below 32°F and 77 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 6 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 31 inches, with 5 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Heating dominates the year: about 7,546 heating degree days against 392 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. St. Albans sits in IECC climate zone 6A (Cold).4 Building permits in St. Albans are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
