Homes and buildings in Albany

About 77% of homes in Albany were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1951. 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 before 1940 than in any other period. That makes its housing older than about 98% of California towns its size.

About 35% of homes are in apartment buildings, where one failed window or sticking entry door affects a whole building's upkeep. About 54% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.

Strong sun and coastal air

NOAA storm records for Alameda County list 4 hail reports (the largest 0.25 inches across) and 2 thunderstorm wind reports from 2020 through 2024.

Strong sun dries out gaskets and sealant on south and west walls, and near the coast, salt air pits aluminum and seizes sliding door rollers.
