Homes and buildings in South Lake Tahoe

About 73% of homes in South Lake Tahoe were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1973. 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 63% single-family houses and 18% in apartment buildings. More than half of the homes here are rented, so we also work with landlords and property managers.

Strong sun and coastal air

NOAA storm records for El Dorado County list 3 thunderstorm wind reports and 1 tornado from 2020 through 2024.

Strong sun dries out gaskets and sealant on south and west walls, and near the coast, salt air pits aluminum and seizes sliding door rollers.
