Homes and buildings in Independence
Independence has a mix of old and newer buildings: about 40% of homes were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1989. 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 2000s than in any other period. That makes its housing newer than about 75% of Minnesota towns its size.
About 95% of homes are single-family houses, so patio doors and home windows make up much of the work. About 92% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.
