What we see on East Peoria homes
The median house in East Peoria was built in 1968, and 53% of the housing stock there predates 1970. 10,912 housing units, 75.5% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. Mostly owners, then, which usually means the decision turns on how long you plan to stay rather than on what it does to a rent roll. 12.2% predates 1940. On those the openings have usually been modified at least once, and what is behind the trim decides the job.
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.
