Siding Contractor Software in Georgia

Red clay and humidity are what a siding company in Georgia sells against. The clay splashes up the bottom courses in every rain and stains anything light, the humidity rots wood from the bottom up, and the termites find the damp wood first. Fiber cement owns the market in metro Atlanta for that reason, with vinyl behind it on price. The subdivisions in Cumming, Canton, and McDonough are brick or stone on the front and fiber cement on the rest, so a lot of the work is partial, and a partial job lives or dies on matching what is already there.

Storms put siding on claims. Helene crossed south Georgia on September 26 and 27, 2024 with winds up to 100 miles an hour and put trees through walls from Valdosta to Augusta, Michael did the same to the southwest corner in 2018, and Atlanta hail cracks vinyl on the north and west walls most springs. Georgia's roofing law, with its five-day right to cancel and its ban on paying the deductible, is written for roof contracts, so siding on a claim runs on the general rules. The one that always applies is the three business days the homeowner has to cancel any sale made in the home.

Georgia licenses general contracting over $2,500 and exempts the traditional specialty trades when they stay inside their trade. A siding company that hangs siding is inside its trade. It steps into the license the moment the job turns into framing or structural repair beyond the incidental allowance, which is $10,000 or a quarter of the contract, whichever is more. Rotten sheathing under old siding is where that line gets crossed.

Georgia's state minimum codes apply statewide whether or not a city or county enforces them, and the metro counties do, so a re-side in Forsyth or Gwinnett is inspected. The older frame houses in Atlanta, Macon, and Augusta are where the full tear-offs are, with hardboard and wood under whatever went over it. The season runs nearly all year, and it is the August heat rather than the January cold that stops a crew.
