Dry, heated winters
With 169 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.
Older, out-of-square openings
In a city where 57% of homes are decades old, openings are rarely perfectly square. Wood can be lightly sanded to fit at install; vinyl and most coated composites can't.
Wood in Cheyenne's homes
57% of Cheyenne's homes were built before 1980, and the median home dates from 1976. In a town of older houses, wood trim and casings are the norm, and painted poplar matches them.
The median home is valued at $333,700 by its owners. That is lower than in 62% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. In Fort Collins, 42 miles away, the median is $577,900, higher than here.
