Housing in Highland is mostly detached single-family: 98% of units, with 1% 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.

Summers bring about 41 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 48 inches a year, 13 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.
