The largest single share, 35%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Dunn County as a whole (47% 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 Menomonie are older than rentals: a median build year of 1979 against 1989.¹ Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
