A newer city, an older housing stock
The city of Spokane Valley only dates to March 31, 2003 (Spokane Valley history), but its houses are much older than the city.
Point2 reports a median build year of 1979 for Spokane Valley, with 21.7 percent of homes from the 1970s, 11.5 percent from the 1950s and 7.9 percent from the 1960s (Point2*). That makes ceilings, flooring and pipe wraps from those decades the usual suspects.
Because the city did not exist when most of its homes were built, original materials are everywhere. Plan a survey before any remodel.

Communities folded into the city
When the city incorporated, it absorbed several communities, including Greenacres, Veradale, Opportunity and Dishman (Revisit Washington). Each grew at different times, so a house in Opportunity may have very different materials from one in Greenacres. The city also wraps around the small town of Millwood on three sides, and Millwood has been its own town since 1927.
Because of that patchwork, we ask for the build year of your house and any past remodels before quoting.
