2A — Hot-Humid

Typical housing stock: 1980s–2000s (Florida growth boom) — Concrete block single-family, newer stucco, condos

Tampa is the lightning capital of the U.S. and sits in an active sinkhole zone. Hurricane season demands annual preparation. A/C runs 12 months. The combination of heat, humidity, and salt air (coastal areas) accelerates degradation of nearly every building component.

Local labor market: Tampa labor rates are near national average — more affordable than South Florida. Florida licensing requirements apply. Post-hurricane contractor demand can spike dramatically.

Seasonal maintenance tip Hurricane prep by June 1. Flush A/C drain lines monthly. Install whole-house surge protection (lightning capital of the U.S.).
