Custom Vinyl Windows in Savannah, GA by Eicher’s Pro Vinyl
Eicher's Pro Vinyl installs custom vinyl windows for homeowners throughout Savannah, GA, backed by a lifetime manufacturer warranty and a free in-home estimate with zero sales pressure. The average Savannah home was built around 1984, which means a large share of the city's 132,487 housing units are carrying windows that are now four decades old, fighting through nearly 46 inches of annual rainfall and more than 185 mosquito-season days with hardware and glazing that was never designed for that kind of sustained coastal punishment. Our own employees, never subcontractors, handle every installation so the fit and finish are exactly what we promise.
When Forty-Year-Old Windows Start Losing the Fight Against Savannah's Climate
With a median home build year of 1984, a lot of Savannah’s housing stock is quietly paying the price for windows that were installed when double-pane insulated glass was still considered an upgrade. Chatham County logs roughly 2,690 cooling degree days per year, and summer high temperatures average nearly 89 degrees. That combination turns a drafty window frame into an air-conditioning bill you never planned for.
It is not just the heat. Savannah sits in a very heavy termite risk zone, and older wooden window frames are a documented entry point for subterranean colonies. Vinyl frames eliminate that vulnerability entirely because termites have nothing to feed on. Add in the city’s high tree canopy, which traps humidity against exterior surfaces and accelerates wood rot, and the case for replacing aging windows with custom vinyl windows in Savannah, GA becomes pretty straightforward.
- Nearly 2,700 cooling degree days annually drive up energy costs through poorly sealed frames
- 45.9 inches of rain per year accelerates rot and warping in wood and aluminum windows
- Very heavy termite pressure makes vinyl frames a practical, long-term choice
- High tree canopy keeps moisture against your home’s exterior longer than open suburban lots
None of this is meant to alarm you. It is just the reality of owning a home in one of Georgia’s most beautiful, most demanding climates, and it is exactly why we have been doing this work here since 1998.
Choosing a Window That Was Built for This Specific City, Not Just "the South"
Savannah is not a generic southern city, and it deserves more than a generic window. The Historic District sits less than half a mile from many of the homes we serve, and neighborhood character matters here. Our windows are custom-designed and custom-manufactured, meaning the proportions, color, and profile are matched to your home rather than pulled from a catalog of standard sizes.
The Omega 12 vinyl window we install carries a lifetime replacement warranty on materials, which is the strongest coverage available in the replacement window category. The frame and sash are fully insulated, not just the glass unit, so thermal performance holds up whether you are in a bungalow near Forsyth Park or a newer build out toward Wilmington Island, about 8.8 miles east of downtown.
A few specifics worth knowing:
- Up to 27% more viewing area than competing vinyl replacement windows, which matters in homes where natural light and street views are part of the appeal
- Extruded aluminum screen frames with heavy-duty corner reinforcements, built to handle years of use without bowing or separating
- 20/20 gnat-resistant screens, a practical detail if you spend any time near the marshes around Isle of Hope or Whitemarsh Island
- Recessed pick-resistant locks for added security in an urban environment with a walkability score of 89
Every window is measured, ordered, and installed by our own trained employees. We do not hand your project off to a subcontractor crew we have never worked with before.

What Changes After the New Windows Go In
Homeowners who upgrade aging single-pane or early double-pane windows to fully insulated custom vinyl typically notice a few things right away. The most immediate is the noise reduction. Savannah’s walkability score of 89 means many homes are close to streets, squares, and tourist activity near landmarks like the SCAD Museum of Art and the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist. Insulated frames and sealed glazing put a meaningful buffer between your living room and all of that foot and vehicle traffic.
The second change is comfort, not just temperature. When window frames are properly sealed and the glass unit is insulated from edge to edge, the “cold wall” effect near windows disappears. Rooms that used to feel drafty near the glass in January or unbearably warm in July tend to even out.
Third, and this one matters if you are among the 56.5 percent of Savannah households who own their home: new windows are one of the few exterior upgrades that buyers notice and ask about during a showing. In a market where the median home value sits at $214,900, a lifetime-warranted window installation is a documented feature, not just an aesthetic impression.
For neighbors in Garden City, Thunderbolt, and Port Wentworth, the same logic applies. We serve the entire greater Savannah area and can schedule your free in-home estimate without a trip across town.
How We Handle the Work So You Do Not Have to Wonder
One thing that has stayed constant since we opened in 1998 is that our installers are our own employees. That is not standard practice in the home improvement industry. A lot of companies sell the job and then call a subcontractor crew they may have never used before. We do not work that way. Every person who shows up at your home works directly for Eicher’s Pro Vinyl, is licensed and insured in Georgia, and has been trained on our specific products and installation methods.
Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers the installation itself, independent of the manufacturer’s lifetime material warranty. So if something is wrong with how a window was set, sealed, or trimmed, that is on us to fix, at no cost to you, for five years after the job is done.
- Licensed and insured in Georgia
- 5-year workmanship warranty on all installations
- Lifetime manufacturer warranty on Omega 12 window materials
- No subcontractors, ever
We also offer 100% financing with no money down, including five, seven, and ten-year terms and a one-year same-as-cash option. Military and senior citizen discounts are available. If budget timing has been holding you back, it is worth having a real conversation about the numbers before you decide either way.

Serving Savannah and the Communities Around It
Our showrooms are in Jesup and Brunswick, but our installation crews work throughout Chatham County and the surrounding area. We regularly serve homeowners in Thunderbolt, about 4 miles east of downtown, Garden City to the northwest, Whitemarsh Island and Talahi Island out toward the coast, and larger communities like Wilmington Island, where nearly 15,000 residents deal with the same coastal humidity and wind exposure as the city itself.
Savannah’s moderate hurricane exposure and coastal wind gusts up to 46.3 miles per hour are a real consideration when choosing window hardware and glazing. Our windows are built and tested for southern coastal conditions, not just average American weather. That distinction matters when a storm system moves up from the Gulf or off the Atlantic in late summer.
If you are on Dutch Island, Isle of Hope, or anywhere else in the greater Savannah metro, the free in-home estimate is exactly that: free, with no obligation and no pressure to sign anything on the spot. We measure your openings, walk through the options with you, and give you a clear price before we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions
What warranty comes with custom vinyl windows installed in Savannah, GA?
The Omega 12 windows we install carry a lifetime replacement warranty from the manufacturer on materials, which is the strongest coverage available in this product category. On top of that, Eicher's Pro Vinyl backs every installation with a 5-year workmanship warranty covering the fit, seal, and trim work our own employees perform. Both warranties apply to Savannah-area homes in Chatham County.
Does the lifetime warranty on your windows hold up given Savannah's heavy rain and humidity?
Yes. Savannah averages 45.9 inches of rain annually and sits in a very heavy termite risk zone, both of which we factored into choosing fully insulated vinyl frames with extruded aluminum screen reinforcements. The lifetime manufacturer warranty is not voided by climate conditions. Vinyl does not rot, warp, or attract termites the way wood frames do, which is why it holds up here better than any alternative over the long run.
Is the 5-year workmanship warranty separate from the manufacturer warranty on the windows themselves?
Correct. The manufacturer's lifetime warranty covers the Omega 12 window unit, including frame, sash, and glass. Our 5-year workmanship warranty is a separate guarantee covering how the window was installed: the seal, the trim, the fit in the opening. Because our own trained employees do every installation in Savannah and Chatham County, there is no dispute between a contractor and a manufacturer if something goes wrong. We own both sides of it.
Will the warranty still apply if I finance the windows through Eicher's rather than paying upfront?
Absolutely. Financing does not affect your warranty coverage in any way. We offer 100% financing with no money down, including a one-year same-as-cash option and longer terms of five, seven, or ten years. The lifetime manufacturer warranty and the 5-year workmanship warranty both take effect the day installation is complete, regardless of how you paid for the project.
What happens to my window warranty if Savannah gets a hurricane or a major wind event?
Our windows are built and installed for coastal Georgia conditions, including Savannah's moderate hurricane exposure and recorded wind gusts of 46.3 miles per hour. Storm damage from an insured weather event is typically handled through your homeowner's insurance policy rather than a product warranty, which is standard across the industry. What the lifetime warranty does cover is manufacturing defects in the vinyl, glass, and hardware regardless of how many coastal seasons your windows have seen.
