Eicher's Pro Vinyl is a family-owned exterior remodeling company serving St. Marys, GA homeowners since 1998, with every installation handled by our own employees, never subcontractors. St. Marys sits in a Very Heavy termite-risk zone along the Georgia-Florida border, and with nearly 47.9 inches of rain per year and 2,804 cooling degree days, the materials on your home take a real beating. We have spent 27 years learning what holds up in this climate, and we back every job with a 5-year workmanship warranty plus manufacturer warranties on all materials.
Why St. Marys Homes Need Exterior Products Built for This Climate
St. Marys is one of Georgia’s oldest cities, situated on the St. Marys River in Camden County with the Florida state line just across the water. That geography means your home faces a combination of heat, humidity, and moisture that is hard on traditional building materials. With an average high of 87.9 degrees and 2,804 cooling degree days annually, your home is under constant thermal stress. Add nearly 48 inches of rainfall per year and 7 heavy rain days, and you have a recipe for rot, mold, and water infiltration if your siding, roofing, or gutters are not up to the task.
The termite risk here is classified as Very Heavy, the highest rating on the USDA map. That single fact changes how we think about every product we recommend. Wood-framed exterior elements that are left untreated or poorly sealed become termite pathways. Our vinyl siding, vinyl windows, and metal roofing options remove much of that vulnerability from the equation.
The area also carries a high tree canopy rating, which means falling branches, leaf debris in gutters, and consistent shade that traps moisture against surfaces. Wind gusts reaching 46.1 mph are not unusual during storm season. These are the real-world conditions we design every installation around.
Serving a Growing Camden County Community
Camden County’s population reached over 54,000 at the 2020 census, and St. Marys itself has grown steadily, with 18,256 residents and a median age of just 33.5 years. That younger demographic means many households are first-time homeowners making their first significant exterior investment. The median home value sits at $182,500, and about 63% of housing units are owner-occupied, which tells us most people here have real equity to protect.
The median home in this area was built around 1994, putting a large share of the housing stock at 30 years old. That age bracket is squarely in the window where original windows start to fail, siding begins to chalk and crack, and gutters develop leaks. If your home was built in the mid-1990s, now is a practical time to evaluate what needs replacing before small issues become expensive structural problems.
We also serve the Kings Bay Base community just 4.2 miles away, along with Kingsland, Woodbine, Fernandina Beach, and surrounding areas. Our military discounts are available to active duty and veteran families, and we offer senior citizen discounts as well. 100% financing is available with no money down, in 5, 7, and 10-year terms, including a 1-year same-as-cash option.

Outdoor Living and Storm Readiness Near the Georgia-Florida Border
St. Marys has a walkability score of 46, meaning most residents drive to most destinations. That car-dependent reality also means your driveway, carport, and outdoor living spaces get daily use. A well-built patio cover or carport is not a luxury here; it is a practical investment that protects your vehicle and gives you a shaded outdoor space through a long, hot Georgia summer.
With 191 mosquito-active days per year, screened outdoor spaces are especially practical in this part of Camden County. A screen room or vinyl glazed enclosure lets you enjoy the evening air near the waterfront without the insects. Sunrooms extend that usable living space year-round, giving families a light-filled room that does not require the heating and cooling load of a fully conditioned addition.
Wooden decks and porches are popular in this historic community, particularly near the waterfront. We build them to last, using quality materials and sound construction practices. Combined with seamless gutters that channel water away from your foundation, a well-planned exterior package keeps your home dry, pest-resistant, and comfortable through every season St. Marys delivers.
No subcontractors, no pressure, just honest exterior remodeling advice.

How does the climate in St. Marys, GA affect which siding or roofing I should choose?
St. Marys averages 47.9 inches of rain per year, hits 87.9 degrees on a typical summer day, and sits in a Very Heavy termite-risk zone. That combination makes moisture resistance and pest resistance the top priorities. Vinyl siding resists rot and termites, while metal roofing handles heavy rain and high heat without warping or cracking the way asphalt shingles can after years of thermal cycling in Camden County's climate.
My St. Marys, GA home was built in the mid-1990s. Is it time to replace my windows?
The median home in the St. Marys area was built around 1994, putting most of that housing stock at roughly 30 years old. Original windows from that era often show failing seals, drafts, and condensation between panes by now. In a climate with 2,804 cooling degree days per year, inefficient windows directly raise your energy bills. Custom vinyl window replacement is one of the most practical upgrades a 1990s-era St. Marys homeowner can make.
Does Eicher's Pro Vinyl offer discounts for military families near Kings Bay Base in St. Marys, GA?
Yes. Eicher's Pro Vinyl offers military discounts for active duty and veteran families, which is especially relevant given that Kings Bay Base is just 4.2 miles from St. Marys. We also offer senior citizen discounts and 100% financing with no money down, available in 5, 7, and 10-year terms including a 1-year same-as-cash option. Free in-home estimates are available with no sales pressure.
What kind of outdoor living options make sense for a home in St. Marys, GA with all those mosquitoes?
St. Marys sees around 191 mosquito-active days per year, which makes open patios uncomfortable for a large part of the year. Screen rooms and vinyl glazed enclosures are practical solutions that let you enjoy outdoor air without the insects. For families who want a fully usable space year-round, a sunroom adds conditioned living area. Patio covers and carports are also popular given the area's car-dependent lifestyle and frequent heavy rain.
