Homes and buildings in Charleston
Charleston has a mix of old and newer buildings: about 54% of homes were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1978. Double-pane windows from the 1980s and 1990s are now at the age when seals fail and the glass fogs up. More homes here went up in the 1970s than in any other period.
About 29% of homes are in apartment buildings, where one failed window or sticking entry door affects a whole building's upkeep. More than half of the homes here are rented, so we also work with landlords and property managers.
Hail in Coles County
NOAA storm records for Coles County list 12 hail reports (the largest 1.75 inches across), 28 thunderstorm wind reports and 3 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail that size can break window glass and dent aluminum frames.
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.
