Homes and weather in Cape Town
Cape Town combines mountain, sea and wine-country weather, so home repairs vary by suburb. Atlantic Seaboard and Southern Suburbs homes face salt, wind and damp, with older Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Observatory needing roof, ceiling and sash window work. Northern Suburbs and Milnerton have newer estates, while Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain have dense township and semi-detached housing. Cape winter rain and north-westerly storms find weak flashings, gutters and flat roofs, and damp rises through walls. Typical jobs include waterproofing, painting, gutters, roof repairs, tiling, plumbing and security gates. Heritage controls apply to older buildings. Hardware stores and merchants are plentiful across the metro.

Typical paint supplies requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: salt-resistant exterior paint and rust-treating primers for gates, rails and trim
- Suburban houses: exterior acrylic and enamel for boundary walls, fascias, gates and the front door
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: low-odour interior paint, fillers and small tools for rooms and balconies
- Townhouses and security estates: paint that matches the approved colour scheme for units and common walls
- Older and character homes: breathable paints, lime wash and matching enamels for period walls, sashes and ceilings
- Township homes and extensions: affordable interior and exterior paint in larger tins for homes and backyard rooms
