Housing in Bluffton is mostly detached single-family: 79% of units, with 9% 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.

Rainfall is substantial: about 48 inches a year, 14 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.

Cooling dominates the year: about 2,596 cooling degree days against 1,675 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.
