The median home in the city of Satsuma was built in 1982, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Alabama median of 1986. That is in line with the Mobile County median of 1980.1 Owner-occupied homes in Satsuma are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1984 against 1979.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components. Housing in Satsuma is mostly detached single-family: 95% of units, with 3% 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 Satsuma: 86% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Alabama share of 70%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Satsuma is valued at $219,400 (ACS), close to the Alabama median of $209,900. Within Mobile County the median is $190,700, so Satsuma sits above it.1 The Mobile station averages 21 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Summers are hot: about 78 days a year reach 90°F and 1 reach 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 67 inches, with 21 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. Measurable snow is rare (about 0.2 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,599 cooling degree days against 1,616 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.

Satsuma is about 13 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. Satsuma sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Satsuma are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
