Did you know the median age of U.S. homes is now 41 years? That means more than half of the homes across the country were built before 1980, and many are long overdue for upgrades. For homeowners and renovation experts alike, this presents a massive opportunity. And for Colorado homeowners, it’s a perfect time to team up with a trusted local partner like Mountain Safe Exteriors.
Why Older Homes Need Attention
Homes built decades ago were constructed to different standards, often with less efficient materials, outdated insulation, and aging systems. As homes pass the 20–30 year mark, it’s common to see roof deterioration, drafty windows, and siding that no longer holds up to the elements. In Colorado’s harsh seasonal swings, from freezing winters to hot, dry summers, these issues can quickly become costly.
That’s where smart, long-term improvements come in.
The Right Renovations Add Real Value
Homeowners of older homes spend significantly more on maintenance and improvements each year, up to $400 more annually compared to newer homes. But those investments pay off. Upgrading siding, windows, and roofing doesn’t just improve curb appeal, it improves comfort, efficiency, and resale value.
