The median home in the town of Lexington was built in 2002, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the South Carolina median of 1992.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Lexington's housing is recent: only 10% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 24% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Lexington are of similar age: median build years 2002 and 2002.1

Housing in Lexington is mostly detached single-family: 64% of units, with 24% 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. 69% of occupied homes in Lexington are owner-occupied (72% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Lexington is valued at $297,700 (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 Columbia station averages 46 nights a year at or below 32°F and 4 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 81 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 45 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 1.2 inches a year).2,3 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,473 heating and 2,237 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3

The coast is about 112 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Lexington sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).6 Building permits in Lexington are normally issued by the town building department.7,8
