Hail in Erie County

NOAA storm records for Erie County list 20 hail reports (the largest 1.5 inches across), 109 thunderstorm wind reports and 5 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail of an inch or more is what the National Weather Service classes as severe.

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.

Homes and buildings in Lancaster

About 90% of homes in Lancaster were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1952. 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.

Housing is a mix, with about 62% single-family houses and 7% in apartment buildings. About 74% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.
