Housing in Fort Mill is mostly detached single-family: 78% 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. Home ownership is the norm in Fort Mill: 83% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (72% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Fort Mill is valued at $487,500 (ACS), above the South Carolina median of $259,000.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.

The Rock Hill York Co Ap station averages 65 nights a year at or below 32°F and 9 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 55 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 42 inches a year, 11 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. Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 3,141 heating and 1,706 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Fort Mill sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4
