The median home in the city of Green Bay was built in 1971, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Wisconsin 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. The stock is old by national standards: 65% of Green Bay's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 4% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Green Bay are older than rentals: a median build year of 1965 against 1977.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.

Green Bay has a mixed housing stock: 58% detached houses, 6% attached or townhouse units and 22% in buildings of five or more units.1 58% of occupied homes in Green Bay are owner-occupied (68% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Green Bay is valued at $207,200 (ACS), below the Wisconsin median of $266,500.1 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 Green Bay station averages 152 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. Hot days are uncommon: about 6 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 32 inches, with 6 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3

Snowfall averages about 56 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 7,505 heating degree days against 508 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.

Green Bay is about 1 miles from the Great Lakes shoreline (fresh water).4,5 Lake-effect weather adds wind-driven rain and snow to the exterior details that matter. Green Bay sits in IECC climate zone 6A (Cold).6 Building permits in Green Bay are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
