Census and NOAA figures for the town of Apex in Wake County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the town of Apex was built in 2008, 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 Apex's housing is recent: only 4% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 46% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Apex are of similar age: median build years 2009 and 2008.1
Housing in Apex is mostly detached single-family: 68% of units, with 14% 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 Apex: 76% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Apex is valued at $576,100 (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 117 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Apex sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).6 Building permits in Apex are normally issued by the town building department.7,8
