The median home in the city of Dodgeville was built in 1974, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Wisconsin median of 1975. That is in line with the Iowa County median of 1975.1 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. Somewhat more of Dodgeville's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 56% against 50%, with 8% built since 2010. The largest single share, 24%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it much the same age as Iowa County as a whole (56% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows.

Housing in Dodgeville is mostly detached single-family: 62% of units, with 13% 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. 63% of occupied homes in Dodgeville are owner-occupied, below the Wisconsin share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Dodgeville is valued at $242,600 (ACS), below the Wisconsin median of $266,500. Within Iowa County the median is $265,000, so Dodgeville 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 Lone Rock Tri Co Ap station averages 151 nights a year at or below 32°F and 76 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. Summer heat is moderate: about 12 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 34 inches, with 7 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3

Heating dominates the year: about 7,066 heating degree days against 647 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. Dodgeville sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).4 Building permits in Dodgeville are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
