Tinley Park homes and weather, for wood

In Tinley Park, July averages a high of 83.9°F and January a low of 15.2°F, about 16 days a year reach 90°F, 125 nights fall at or below freezing, and 41.1 inches of precipitation falls in a typical year.

38% of homes were built before 1980 and 23% in 2000 or later; 55% are detached houses.

Dry, heated winters

With 125 freezing nights a year, homes here run the heat for months, and heated air is dry. Wood gives up a little moisture over the winter and takes it back in summer; paint slows that but doesn't stop it. A humidifier set to a moderate level keeps the movement small, and it's kinder to the rest of the house's woodwork too.
