Home Improvement Contractors in Kimberly, WI

The median home in the village of Kimberly was built in 1977, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Wisconsin median of 1975. That is older than the Outagamie County median of 1980.¹ About 54% of Kimberly's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 15% since 2010. The largest single share, 25%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Outagamie County as a whole (50% built before 1980).¹ On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Kimberly are older than rentals: a median build year of 1968 against 1994.¹ Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.

Kimberly has a mixed housing stock: 60% detached houses, 10% attached or townhouse units and 22% in buildings of five or more units.¹ 62% of occupied homes in Kimberly are owner-occupied, below the Wisconsin share of 68%.¹ The median owner-occupied home in Kimberly is valued at $228,100 (ACS), below the Wisconsin median of $266,500. Within Outagamie County the median is $267,300, so Kimberly 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 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.
