Half the homes in Springdale were built before 1994 (Census ACS median), so the typical house is about 32 years old.

Homes here have a median value of $237,200 and households a median income of $66,044. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
Between 2020 and 2025, NOAA's Storm Events Database logged 31 hail days and 39 days with damaging thunderstorm winds in Washington County. The largest hail reported was 5 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. Washington County also had 10 tornado days in that period.
