Whose roof is it? Blaine homes by building type
Most Blaine homes stand alone (67%[4] detached), so the roof — and the call on repair versus replacement — usually rests with the owner.
After detached houses, the biggest group is attached house (townhouse, rowhouse): 4,428 of 26,767 housing units[4].
Blaine's 2,233 mobile homes (8.3%) need a roofer who works on manufactured-home roofs; mention it when you request help.
