Eicher's Pro Vinyl has been helping Long County homeowners protect and improve their homes since 1998, and Ludowici is squarely in our service area. At just 43 miles from the Georgia coast, homes here face high hurricane exposure, hardiness zone 9a heat, and very heavy termite pressure, all of which add up fast when your exterior starts to age. We are a family-owned company, we send our own employees to every job, and we back every installation with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Why Ludowici Homes Take a Beating from the Elements
Long County sits close enough to the Atlantic coast that tropical weather is a real concern, not a remote possibility. Ludowici carries a high hurricane exposure rating, and with average wind gusts reaching 43.4 mph, exterior materials that look fine in calmer climates can fail here within a few seasons. The area logs roughly 2,644 cooling degree days per year and summer highs that average 89.8°F, meaning your home’s envelope is under thermal stress for months at a time.
Add in very heavy termite pressure, which is as serious as it gets on Georgia’s termite-risk scale, and older wood-based siding, trim, or decking becomes a liability. The median home in the Ludowici area was built around 1993, putting a large share of the housing stock at 30-plus years old. That is exactly the age when windows start to leak air, gutters begin to pull away from fascia, and roofing materials approach or exceed their expected lifespan.
We have been doing exterior work across southeast Georgia for 27 years. We understand how salt-laden air, long mosquito seasons (roughly 170 days per year), and standing moisture after heavy rains accelerate wear on every material we install. Our product selections account for all of it.
Protecting Your Investment in Long County's Housing Market
The median home value in the Ludowici area is approximately $138,000, and the homeownership rate sits at 62.3 percent across roughly 6,230 housing units. For most families here, the home is the single largest asset they own. Smart exterior upgrades, done correctly with quality materials, protect that asset against the specific threats this climate creates.
A few improvements that make a measurable difference in this area:
- Metal roofing: Engineered for high-wind zones and rated to outperform asphalt shingles in hurricane-prone regions. It also reflects radiant heat, which matters when cooling degree days stack up the way they do in zone 9a.
- Vinyl siding: Impervious to the termite colonies that make wood siding risky here, and it holds up against the moisture cycle that comes with 37.6 inches of annual rainfall spread across a humid coastal climate.
- Custom vinyl windows: Replacing 30-year-old windows cuts energy loss and improves storm resistance. Properly installed vinyl frames do not rot, warp, or feed termites.
- Seamless gutters: Long County’s heavy-rain events send large volumes of water off rooflines quickly. Seamless gutters with proper drainage reduce foundation saturation and siding splash-back.
Every product we install carries manufacturer warranties, and our own 5-year workmanship warranty covers the installation itself. No subcontractors handle your job. Our employees do the work, start to finish.

Outdoor Living That Works in Southeast Georgia's Climate
Ludowici’s location near Griffin Ridge Wildlife Management Area, open pine flatwoods, and easy access to surrounding communities like Hinesville and Jesup makes outdoor living genuinely appealing. The challenge is that 170 mosquito days per year and intense summer heat can make an open porch nearly unusable from May through September without the right setup.
That is exactly why screen rooms, sunrooms, patio covers, and vinyl glazed enclosures are among our most requested projects in this part of the state. A properly screened or enclosed outdoor space extends the usable square footage of your home without adding to your air-conditioning load, especially when paired with a solid patio cover or carport that blocks direct afternoon sun.
Wooden decks and porches remain popular in the area, and we build them to handle the local conditions, including pressure-treated materials selected with Long County’s termite pressure in mind. A deck or porch built right in 2025 should still be structurally sound well into the 2040s.
With median household income around $52,742 in the area, we know that large projects require flexible payment options. We offer 100% financing with no money down, including 5, 7, and 10-year terms and a 1-year same-as-cash option. We also provide military and senior citizen discounts, which matters in a community this close to Fort Stewart.

A Local Contractor, Not a Call Center
Eicher’s Pro Vinyl is based in Jesup, roughly 11 miles from Ludowici, and we have a second showroom in Brunswick. We are not a national franchise routing your call to a regional office. When you call us, you reach people who know Long County roads, understand the soil conditions, and have seen what 27 coastal Georgia summers do to a house.
We are licensed and insured in Georgia, and we have been since we opened in 1998. Our installations are performed by our own employees, not subcontractors hired job by job. That matters for accountability: if something is not right, you call us and we come back. No finger-pointing between a contractor and a sub.
We also offer free in-home estimates with no sales pressure. We come out, look at your home, talk through what you actually need, and give you a clear number. If you want to think about it, that is fine. We have been here 27 years and we will be here when you are ready.
We serve Ludowici and the surrounding Long County communities, including Walthourville, Gumbranch, and areas throughout the Hinesville-Fort Stewart metro. If you are in the 31320 zip code or nearby, we can reach you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work in Ludowici regularly, or is it too far from your showroom?
Ludowici is about 11 miles from our Jesup showroom on Cameron Road, so we are out there regularly. Long County is well within our service area, and we have completed projects throughout the 31320 zip code and surrounding communities. Distance is not a concern for us.
My house was built in the early 1990s. What exterior work is most urgent given Ludowici's climate?
Homes from that era are right at the age where several systems converge. Windows from the early 1990s typically have failing seals and poor storm resistance, which matters given Ludowici's high hurricane exposure. Roofing from that period is often past its expected life. And any original wood siding or trim is at serious risk given the very heavy termite pressure Long County carries. We can walk through all of it during a free in-home estimate and help you prioritize.
Is metal roofing actually worth the cost for a home in Ludowici?
For this area, yes, in most cases. Ludowici has high hurricane exposure and average wind gusts of 43.4 mph, which is tough on standard asphalt shingles over time. Metal roofing is rated for high-wind performance, reflects heat in a climate with 2,644 cooling degree days per year, and typically carries a much longer lifespan than three-tab or architectural shingles. We can show you the numbers side by side during your estimate.
Do you offer financing for homeowners in Long County?
Yes. We offer 100% financing with no money down on approved credit, including 5, 7, and 10-year payment plans and a 1-year same-as-cash option. We also provide military and senior citizen discounts, which applies to many households near Fort Stewart. Ask about current terms when you call or when we come out for your estimate.
