What we see on Belleville homes
The median house in Belleville was built in 1960, and 63.1% of the housing stock there predates 1970. 20,187 housing units, 61% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. That leaves a real share of rented property, and a landlord asks different questions than an owner: what fails soonest, what a tenant will call about. The quote is the same either way. 26.3% of it predates 1940, so a lot of these openings are out of square and none of them are a catalog size. That is the whole reason we measure every opening instead of ordering to a chart.
The exterior on a house that age is often not the first one. Aluminum siding from the sixties, vinyl over the top of it in the nineties, and somewhere underneath the wood the house was built with. We look behind the old material before quoting, so the layer count and the state of the sheathing are known rather than guessed at. In these houses the original single-glazed windows are usually the biggest single draft in the place. On windows specifically the number that matters is how many openings are actually costing you. We will quote the worst room on its own if that is the sensible place to start.
