Mount Airy sits in two counties, Frederick and Carroll. It has been split this way since Carroll County set its borders in 1837. Main Street runs along the top of Parr’s Ridge, about 800 to 850 feet above sea level. The 2020 Census counted 9,654 people and 3,489 housing units.
Much of the town is fairly new. Census survey data puts the median year built at 1995. About three in four homes were built between 1980 and 2009, and about a third went up in the 2000s alone. About 7 in 10 are single-family detached houses, and about 1 in 4 are attached homes such as townhouses. More than 8 in 10 occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
The older core along Main Street is different. The Mount Airy Historic District has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984. It grew up around the B&O Railroad, and its brick station dates to 1882. The Maryland Historical Trust says most of its houses are two-story frame homes, with some Foursquare and Bungalow houses and larger Queen Anne, Second Empire and Colonial Revival homes on Main Street. About 1 in 12 homes in town was built before 1940.
So the work comes in two kinds. Newer homes often need fresh interior color, caulk and nail pop repairs, and new paint on trim and doors. Older frame homes need careful scraping, sanding and priming on wood trim, porches and siding.
Some Mount Airy neighborhoods have an HOA. We can color-match any color, including colors your HOA requires. Please get any HOA approval you need before exterior work starts. The homeowner handles the HOA; we do not contact the HOA.
