Census and NOAA figures for the city of New Berlin in Waukesha County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of New Berlin was built in 1978, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Wisconsin median of 1975.1 About 52% of New Berlin's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 6% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in New Berlin are older than rentals: a median build year of 1975 against 1990.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in New Berlin is mostly detached single-family: 69% of units, with 20% 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. Home ownership is the norm in New Berlin: 76% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (68% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in New Berlin is valued at $365,700 (ACS), above the Wisconsin median of $266,500.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
Winters are long: the Milwaukee Mitchell Ap station averages 123 nights a year at or below 32°F and 52 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 9 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 35 inches, with 7 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Snowfall averages about 49 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 6,450 heating degree days against 780 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.
New Berlin is about 12 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. New Berlin sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).6 Building permits in New Berlin are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
