Homes and buildings in Taft

About 71% of homes in Taft 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 64% single-family houses and 10% in apartment buildings. Around 18% are mobile homes, whose windows and doors often use different frames and sizes. About 54% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.

Strong sun and coastal air

NOAA storm records for Kern County list 2 hail reports (the largest 1.75 inches across) and 5 thunderstorm wind reports from 2020 through 2024. Hail that size can break window glass and dent aluminum frames.

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.
