Eicher's Pro Vinyl has been helping Toombs County homeowners protect and improve their homes since 1998, and Lyons is squarely in our service area. With a hardiness zone of 9a, very heavy termite pressure, and summers that routinely push past 91°F, the homes here take a beating that demands quality materials and honest workmanship. We are a family-owned company, we use our own employees on every job, and we back everything with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
What Southeast Georgia Weather Does to a Lyons Home
Lyons sits in hardiness zone 9a, where winter lows can drop to 20-25°F but summers average a high of 91.6°F. That swing puts real stress on siding, windows, and roofing year after year. Add in 35.3 inches of annual rainfall, five heavy-rain days per year, and moderate hurricane exposure from the Georgia coast roughly 90 miles away, and you have a climate that tests every exterior surface on your house.
What tends to fail first:
- Windows and siding that were installed on the average Toombs County home built around 1981 are now over 40 years old. The seals are gone, the frames are rotting, and the energy bills show it. With 2,789 cooling degree days per year, a leaky window costs real money every summer.
- Roofing takes a beating from sustained winds. Wind speeds in the area can reach 43 mph, and a roof that is not properly fastened will not last through the next storm season.
- Wood trim, decks, and porches face constant moisture exposure. High tree canopy means more shade and slower drying, which accelerates rot and mold on untreated wood surfaces.
We have seen these patterns on Toombs County homes for more than two decades. The fixes are not complicated, but the materials and the installation have to be right the first time.
Very Heavy Termite Risk Is Not a Minor Concern in Toombs County
Lyons and the surrounding Toombs County area carry a very heavy termite risk rating. That is the highest category on the USDA scale, and it matters enormously when you are choosing exterior building materials.
Subterranean termites thrive in Georgia’s warm, humid soil. With 162 mosquito days per year and a high tree canopy providing consistent shade and moisture, the conditions around most Lyons homes are close to ideal for termite activity. Any wood that stays damp or is in ground contact is vulnerable.
That is one of the reasons so many Toombs County homeowners have moved toward vinyl siding, vinyl windows, and vinyl glazed enclosures over the past 20 years. Vinyl does not feed termites, does not rot, and does not need to be repainted every few years. For decks and porches where wood is the right choice for structural or aesthetic reasons, we use treated lumber and build to specifications that minimize ground contact and improve drainage.

Services We Offer in Lyons

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve areas outside Lyons city limits in Toombs County?
Yes. We work throughout Toombs County, including the unincorporated areas surrounding Lyons and neighboring communities like Vidalia, Higgston, Oak Park, Cobbtown, Collins, Ailey, and Reidsville. If you are unsure whether your address falls in our service area, just give us a call at (912) 588-0061 and we can confirm quickly.
My home was built in the early 1980s. Is that old enough to need new windows and siding?
The average Toombs County home was built around 1981, which puts it at over 40 years old. Windows from that era typically had single-pane or early double-pane glass with failed seals, and original vinyl or wood siding is well past its expected lifespan. In a climate with 2,789 cooling degree days per year, upgrading to modern insulated windows and siding typically reduces energy costs noticeably. A free in-home estimate will show you exactly what condition your current materials are in.
How serious is the termite risk in Lyons, and does it affect which products I should choose?
Toombs County carries a very heavy termite risk rating, the highest category used by the USDA. That means any untreated or poorly maintained wood on the exterior of your home is at meaningful risk over time. Vinyl siding, vinyl windows, and vinyl enclosures eliminate that vulnerability entirely. Where wood is appropriate, such as decks and porches, we use treated lumber and design for good drainage to reduce moisture retention.
What financing options are available for Lyons homeowners?
We offer 100% financing with no money down. Terms include 5-year, 7-year, and 10-year loan options, as well as a 1-year same-as-cash plan. We also offer military and senior citizen discounts. If you want to talk through payment options before we even come out for the estimate, just ask when you call.
