Census and NOAA figures for the city of Aiken in Aiken County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Aiken was built in 1989, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the South Carolina median of 1992.1 Aiken's housing is newer than the national mix: 36% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 13% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Aiken are of similar age: median build years 1991 and 1991.1 Housing in Aiken is mostly detached single-family: 73% of units, with 11% 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.
68% of occupied homes in Aiken are owner-occupied (72% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Aiken is valued at $286,800 (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 Augusta Bush Fld Ap station averages 51 nights a year at or below 32°F and 5 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.
Summers are hot: about 86 days a year reach 90°F and 6 reach 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 44 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.
Measurable snow is rare (about 0.8 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,361 cooling degree days against 2,182 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. The coast is about 96 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5
Aiken sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).6 Building permits in Aiken are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
