Eicher's Pro Vinyl has been helping Georgia homeowners protect and improve their homes since 1998, and Pooler is one of the communities we know well. Chatham County's hardiness zone 9a climate brings 46.8 inches of rain per year, moderate hurricane exposure, and a very heavy termite risk rating that can quietly damage older homes. We are a family-owned, licensed, and insured contractor with 27 years of experience handling exactly these conditions.
Why Pooler Homes Need Extra Protection
Pooler sits in hardiness zone 9a, where winter lows can still dip to 20-25°F but summers push average highs to 88.8°F. That wide swing puts real stress on exterior materials. Add 46.8 inches of annual rainfall and moderate hurricane exposure from the nearby coast, and it becomes clear why choosing the right products and the right installer matters more here than it would in a drier, calmer climate.
The termite risk in Chatham County is rated very heavy. That is not a scare tactic; it is a USDA-recognized classification for this region. Homes built around the county’s median construction year of 1984 have had four decades of potential exposure. Untreated wood trim, aging siding, and deteriorating deck boards are common entry points.
- 46.8 inches of rain per year means gutters and roofing need to perform consistently, not just occasionally.
- Very heavy termite pressure is a strong argument for vinyl and metal products where wood is not structurally required.
- Moderate hurricane exposure means wind-rated windows and a properly fastened metal roof are worth the investment.
- 2,584 cooling degree days per year make energy-efficient windows a practical upgrade, not just a comfort one.
Every installation we do in Pooler is completed by our own employees, never subcontractors. That is how we back our 5-year workmanship warranty with confidence.
Serving a Growing Community Near Savannah
Pooler has grown into one of the busiest corridors in the Savannah metro area, sitting at the junction of Interstates 95 and 16 just about 9 miles northwest of Savannah. With a population of roughly 25,711 residents and a homeownership rate of 56.5 percent across Chatham County, there are thousands of households in and around Pooler making decisions about maintaining and improving the homes they own.
Median home values in the area sit around $214,900. That is a significant asset worth protecting with quality exterior work. Whether you live near the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, off a newer subdivision on the west side of I-95, or in an established neighborhood closer to Garden City or Port Wentworth, the exterior challenges are largely the same: heat, humidity, rain, and insects.
We also serve the communities surrounding Pooler, including Bloomingdale, Port Wentworth, Garden City, Rincon, and Richmond Hill. If you are in the Pooler zip codes or just over the county line, there is a good chance we have worked on a home near yours. Our Brunswick showroom and our main location at 341 Cameron Rd in Jesup put us within practical reach of all of coastal and southeast Georgia.

Products Built for Coastal Georgia Weather
After 27 years of working in this climate, we have a straightforward view on materials: they need to hold up to the specific conditions of this region, not just look good on a showroom display. Here is how that thinking shapes what we offer Pooler homeowners.
- Metal Roofing: Standing-seam and steel panel systems handle wind-driven rain far better than aging asphalt shingles. With moderate hurricane exposure in this area, a properly installed metal roof is one of the most durable upgrades you can make.
- Custom Vinyl Windows: With 2,584 cooling degree days per year, energy efficiency is not just a marketing claim. Quality vinyl windows reduce heat gain and help your HVAC system work less.
- Vinyl Siding: It does not rot, it does not feed termites, and it holds its color without repainting every few years in this high-humidity environment.
- Seamless Gutters: With 8 heavy rain days per year and a high tree canopy coverage in much of Chatham County, properly sized gutters keep water away from your foundation and siding.
- Wooden Decks and Porches: When wood is the right choice, we build it correctly with materials and techniques suited for the moisture levels here.
All materials carry manufacturer warranties in addition to our own 5-year workmanship warranty. We also offer 100% financing with no money down, including 5-, 7-, and 10-year terms and a 1-year same-as-cash option.

Outdoor Living in Pooler's Climate
Pooler averages around 184 mosquito-active days per year. That is more than half the calendar. If you have been putting off adding a screened porch or enclosed sunroom because of the cost or hassle, it is worth knowing that the right outdoor structure can genuinely change how you use your home for six or more months of the year.
We install patio covers, carports, screen rooms, vinyl glazed enclosures, and full sunrooms. A screen room gives you outdoor air without the insects. A vinyl glazed enclosure takes that further, giving you a space that is usable even on rainy days or cooler winter mornings when the temperature dips toward zone 9a’s lower range. A sunroom adds conditioned square footage.
Pooler’s tree canopy is rated high, which means many yards have mature shade trees nearby. A well-designed patio cover or deck can take advantage of that natural shade while giving you a solid, weather-resistant surface underfoot. We custom-size every structure to fit your yard and your budget, and we handle the installation with our own crew from start to finish.
Military families and senior citizens receive discounts on all our services. If you are near Hunter Army Airfield or are a retiree in the Pooler area, ask us about those savings when you call.

Does Eicher's Pro Vinyl work in Pooler, or do I need to find someone closer to Savannah?

Pooler's location at I-95 and I-16 actually makes scheduling straightforward. Call (912) 588-0061 and we can confirm service for your specific address and set up a free in-home estimate.
Is vinyl siding really a good choice given Pooler's termite risk?
It is one of the main reasons we recommend it. Chatham County carries a very heavy termite risk rating, and vinyl siding gives termites nothing to eat. It also handles the region's 46.8 inches of annual rainfall without rotting or warping the way wood-based materials can. Paired with proper installation, it is one of the most low-maintenance exterior options available for this climate.
What financing options are available for a larger project like a sunroom or metal roof in Pooler?
We offer 100% financing with no money down on all of our services. Terms include 5-, 7-, and 10-year plans, plus a 1-year same-as-cash option. There is no requirement to put anything down to get started. We can go over the financing details during your free in-home estimate so you can compare what fits your budget before making any decisions.
How does Pooler's moderate hurricane exposure affect which roofing products you recommend?
With moderate hurricane exposure and wind gusts recorded at 44.7 mph in this area, we give metal roofing serious consideration for Pooler homeowners. Metal panels, when properly installed and fastened, perform well under wind-driven rain and are more resistant to uplift than traditional shingles. We size and install every roof to Georgia building code requirements, and all work carries our 5-year workmanship warranty in addition to the manufacturer warranty on the materials.
