Roofing, siding, and window filings mark the envelope work that dates a house's condition and opens the roof for what goes on it next. Tradewinds observes them in county permit records.
A new roof is the optimal moment for solar: the surface is fresh, and the homeowner is already mid-project.
Siding work marks an older house getting a significant exterior spend, often with windows on the same job.
Window filings are an efficiency spend, which is the same budget line as insulation and mechanical upgrades.
A dated roof permit sets the clock for the next replacement on that property.
