About homes and weather in Akron
About 73% of homes in Akron were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1969. Buildings that age often still have older single-pane glass and worn aluminum frames, so loose panes, failing seals and tired door hardware come up a lot. More homes here went up in the 1970s than in any other period. That makes its housing newer than about 86% of Pennsylvania towns its size.
Housing is a mix, with about 51% single-family houses and 18% in apartment buildings. About 60% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.
NOAA storm records for Lancaster County list 13 hail reports (the largest 1.5 inches across), 118 thunderstorm wind reports and 2 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail of an inch or more is what the National Weather Service classes as severe. See how Lancaster County compares.
Freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers work on seals from both directions, so cracked sealant, drafty sashes and foggy double-pane glass are common repairs.
