Census and NOAA figures for the city of Beaver Dam in Dodge County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Beaver Dam was built in 1963, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Wisconsin median of 1975. That is older than the Dodge County median of 1970.1 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: 66% of Beaver Dam's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 12% since 2010. The largest single share, 28%, dates from before 1940. That makes it much the same age as Dodge County as a whole (62% built before 1980).1 Pre-1940 houses often have unlined chimneys, plaster walls and balloon framing, which change the scope of almost every trade.
Owner-occupied homes in Beaver Dam are older than rentals: a median build year of 1955 against 1980.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap. Beaver Dam has a mixed housing stock: 59% detached houses, 4% attached or townhouse units and 26% in buildings of five or more units.1 55% of occupied homes in Beaver Dam are owner-occupied, below the Wisconsin share of 68%.1
The median owner-occupied home in Beaver Dam is valued at $201,900 (ACS), below the Wisconsin median of $266,500. Within Dodge County the median is $231,900, so Beaver Dam sits below it.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 Fond Du Lac Co Ap station averages 143 nights a year at or below 32°F and 72 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 7 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is moderate, about 28 inches.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 7,275 heating degree days against 583 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.
Beaver Dam sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).4 Building permits in Beaver Dam are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
