Census and NOAA figures for the town of Herndon in Fairfax County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the town of Herndon was built in 1983, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Virginia median of 1984.1 Herndon's housing is newer than the national mix: 43% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 6% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied homes in Herndon are older than rentals: a median build year of 1981 against 1987.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Herndon has a mixed housing stock: 44% detached houses, 27% attached or townhouse units and 27% in buildings of five or more units.1 62% of occupied homes in Herndon are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Herndon is valued at $599,100 (ACS), above the Virginia median of $383,700.1 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 Washington Dc Dulles Ap station averages 102 nights a year at or below 32°F and 25 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. Summers bring about 33 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.
Snowfall averages about 21 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 4,604 heating degree days against 1,233 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.
