Mobile and manufactured homes are 14% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units.

The Paso Robles Muni Ap station averages 45 nights a year at or below 32°F and 1 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.

Summers are hot: about 92 days a year reach 90°F and 29 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 low, about 12 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.

Heating dominates the year: about 2,760 heating degree days against 959 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope. Templeton 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.

Templeton sits in IECC climate zone 3C (Marine).6 Building permits in Templeton are normally issued by the county, as this is an unincorporated community.7,8 As an unincorporated community, permits and inspections run through the county.
