Homes in Fayetteville
Fayetteville is a city of houses: of its 91,985 homes, 62% are detached, 3% are townhouses and other attached houses and 33% are apartments or units in buildings of two or more homes.
The biggest building period was 1950 to 1979, which accounts for 40% of homes standing today; 25% are from 2000 or later. The median home dates from 1984. 47% of homes are lived in by their owners.
In nearby Apex, 45 miles away, 4% of homes were built before 1980, so Fayetteville's windows are on the whole older. Nationally, Fayetteville's homes are newer than those in 56% of the 881 US cities we have census figures for.

Replacement windows
40% of homes went up between 1950 and 1979, and most of them have had their original windows replaced since. A replacement window often sits further into or out of the wall than the old one, so the depth you have for an inside mount may differ from window to window in the same house. Measure every opening rather than copying one.
Whole-house orders
With 62% of homes detached, most orders here cover a whole house: bedrooms, a patio door, perhaps a bay. Put every window in one list in the designer so the louver size and colour match from the street, and if you have an HOA, send it the drawings before you order.

Humid summers
Hot days and 47.9 inches of precipitation make for heavy summer air. Wood swells when it's humid, so give kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms some air: run the fan after a shower and tilt the louvers open so steam doesn't sit behind them.
