The median home in the town of Garner was built in 2001, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the North Carolina median of 1991.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Garner's housing is recent: only 28% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 29% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Garner are older than rentals: a median build year of 1999 against 2004.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.

Housing in Garner is mostly detached single-family: 65% of units, with 25% 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. 63% of occupied homes in Garner are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Garner is valued at $355,000 (ACS), above the North Carolina median of $288,900.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.

The Raleigh Durham Intl Ap station averages 65 nights a year at or below 32°F and 8 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers run hot, with about 52 days a year at 90°F or more and 2 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.

Rainfall is substantial: about 46 inches a year, 12 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Snowfall averages about 5 inches a year.2,3 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 3,153 heating and 1,804 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3

The coast is about 106 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Garner sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).6 Building permits in Garner are normally issued by the town building department.7,8
