What the houses here are like
Lafayette is 1960s stock, median year 1962, with about half the housing built before 1960 and a lot of it on slopes under oaks. Older wood windows under heavy tree cover take moisture year round, and the damage is usually worse on the shaded elevation. Openings in these houses are frequently non-standard, so measurement matters more here than the brochure does.
- Median year built: 1962
- Built before 1980: 78 percent
- Built before 1960: 46 percent
- Owner-occupied: 79 percent
- Homes sold in the last year: 303

What people here call us about
Lafayette calls come after a wet winter. Under heavy oak cover the shaded elevation stays damp most of the year, and that is the side where the wood gives out first. Openings in these houses are rarely standard sizes, so the measurement matters more than the brochure, and we say so on the phone before anyone gets attached to a particular model.
