Census and NOAA figures for the city of Longview in Cowlitz County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Longview was built in 1967, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Washington median of 1985.1 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. The stock is old by national standards: 74% of Longview's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 2% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Longview are older than rentals: a median build year of 1963 against 1968.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in Longview is mostly detached single-family: 60% of units, with 25% 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. 55% of occupied homes in Longview are owner-occupied (64% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Longview is valued at $361,600 (ACS), below the Washington median of $564,600.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Longview station averages 41 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. Hot days are uncommon: about 10 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 48 inches a year, 6 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.
Measurable snow is rare (about 2.3 inches a year).2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 4,545 heating degree days against 243 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. Longview is about 29 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.
Longview sits in IECC climate zone 4C (Marine).6 Building permits in Longview are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
