Homes and buildings in Mount Vernon

About 73% of homes in Mount Vernon were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1967. 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 69% single-family houses and 16% in apartment buildings. About 53% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.

Four full seasons

NOAA storm records for Jefferson County list 6 hail reports (the largest 1.25 inches across), 17 thunderstorm wind reports and 2 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.
