The houses in Old Bethpage
Half the homes in Old Bethpage were built by 1964, 65% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). In a neighborhood that age, many houses are on their second set of gutters or due for one, and the fascia board behind them is worth checking at the same visit. On a house built before 1978, replacing more than 20 square feet of painted fascia or trim falls under the EPA’s lead-safe rule, so ask whether the crew is certified.
93% of households own their home, and 71% of homes are detached houses, 11% townhouses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
