What we see on Normal homes
Normal's median house dates from 1989, which puts most of the town in the build-out between 1970 and 1990. 21,879 housing units, 55.2% of the occupied ones owner-occupied, which is a lower share than most of the towns we cover. A good deal of what we look at here is a rental or a recent purchase, and in both cases the useful question is what has to be done now against what can wait. Only 4.4% predates 1940, so most of what we take out here is a replacement unit somebody already fitted once, and how well that was done decides how much of the opening we rebuild.
The seventies and eighties are where the first generation of vinyl siding and aluminum-clad windows shows up, and both are now well past what they were built for. Vinyl from that era goes chalky and brittle: it cracks when a ladder leans on it instead of flexing. The windows fail differently. The sealed unit fogs while the frame still looks perfectly sound, which is why people put up with them for years longer than they need to. On siding specifically the layer count decides the day: one layer comes off cleanly, two means the sheathing has not seen daylight in thirty years.
