Homes and buildings in Hays

About 66% of homes in Hays were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1972. 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.

Housing is a mix, with about 65% single-family houses and 11% in apartment buildings. About 58% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.
