Census and NOAA figures for the city of Fairhope in Baldwin County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Fairhope was built in 1998, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Alabama median of 1986.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Fairhope's housing is recent: only 26% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 23% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Fairhope are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2000 against 1985.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Fairhope is mostly detached single-family: 86% of units, with 6% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. Home ownership is the norm in Fairhope: 80% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (70% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Fairhope is valued at $430,900 (ACS), above the Alabama median of $209,900.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
The Mobile Dwtn Ap station averages 15 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Summers run hot, with about 73 days a year at 90°F or more and 1 at 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. Annual precipitation is about 61 inches, with 18 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.
Cooling dominates the year: about 2,931 cooling degree days against 1,404 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates. Fairhope is about 2 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote.
