Census and NOAA figures for the city of Cape Coral in Lee County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Cape Coral was built in 2000, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Florida median of 1988.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Cape Coral's housing is recent: only 15% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 17% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Cape Coral are of similar age: median build years 2001 and 1998.1
Housing in Cape Coral is mostly detached single-family: 79% of units, with 11% 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 Cape Coral: 77% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (68% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Cape Coral is valued at $373,500 (ACS), close to the Florida median of $359,000.1
Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Ft Myers Page Fld Ap) averages 0.1 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Heat is the governing season: about 120 days a year reach 90°F and 0 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 57 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 4,046 cooling degree days against 252 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.
Cape Coral is about 11 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. Cape Coral sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Cape Coral are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
