The median home in the city of DuPont was built in 2002, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Washington median of 1985. That is newer than the Pierce County median of 1986.1 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 DuPont are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2004 against 1998.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.

Housing in DuPont is mostly detached single-family: 70% of units, with 16% 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. 62% of occupied homes in DuPont are owner-occupied, in line with the Washington share of 64%.1 The median owner-occupied home in DuPont is valued at $583,600 (ACS), close to the Washington median of $564,600. Within Pierce County the median is $526,600, so DuPont sits above it.1

The Olympia Ap station averages 77 nights a year at or below 32°F and 7 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Hot days are uncommon: about 6 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 51 inches a year, 10 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 5,378 heating degree days against 113 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. DuPont is about 14 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.

DuPont sits in IECC climate zone 4C (Marine).6 Building permits in DuPont are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
