Homes we work on in Statham
Statham is a small Barrow County town in the path of Athens-area growth. The older housing stock near downtown and along the county roads includes farmhouses, brick ranches and 1970s and 1980s homes with wood or hardboard siding. Newer subdivisions along Highway 316 and toward Bethlehem have added traditional two-story homes with brick fronts and vinyl or fiber cement on the remaining walls.
On the older homes, water is the recurring theme: rotted trim at the sills and corners, hardboard swelling along the bottom course, soft fascia behind gutters that have overflowed for years, and roofs that have been patched instead of replaced. On the newer homes the issues are installation details rather than age. Either way, we walk the property and price from what is actually there.
Roof replacement and repair in Statham
We tear off to the deck, replace rotted sheathing, install synthetic underlayment with ice-and-water membrane in valleys and around penetrations, correct attic ventilation, and install architectural shingles from GAF or Owens Corning. On older Statham homes we plan for deck surprises such as multiple layers or skip sheathing so the price does not shift mid-job.
Barrow County gets regular wind and hail. After a storm we inspect and document damage with dated photos so you can decide whether to file a claim, and we will tell you honestly when a roof does not have claimable damage. Our full process is on the roofing services page.
Siding in Statham
For a long-term fix, James Hardie fiber cement siding is what we recommend. It resists rot, insects and fire, holds paint far longer than wood in Georgia humidity, and can be installed as lap siding with board-and-batten gable accents to modernize an older home.
Where the budget is the priority, or on rentals and outbuildings, quality insulated vinyl siding does the job at a friendlier price and installs quickly. We quote both and explain the trade-offs plainly.
Painting in Statham
Exterior repaints here mean real prep. We scrape and sand failing coatings, replace rotted trim, sills and fascia rather than caulking over them, prime bare wood, and apply two finish coats rated for Georgia sun. We also handle interior painting when a homeowner is already remodeling. Details are on our painting page.
Seamless gutters in Statham
On larger lots with mature trees, gutters fill quickly and overflow rots the fascia behind them. We form seamless aluminum gutters on site so there are no seams to fail, replace soft fascia before hanging, size 5-inch or 6-inch based on the roof area, add downspouts on long runs, and extend discharge away from the foundation and crawlspace.
Permits, HOAs and working in Barrow County
The City of Statham and Barrow County have permitting requirements depending on your location, and newer subdivisions typically have an HOA with color and material standards. We pull permits within our scope and provide sample boards and product data for architectural review. Crews protect driveways and landscaping, haul debris daily and magnet-sweep for nails.
Why Statham homeowners call us
EZY Exteriors is family-run out of Lawrenceville with more than 25 years of exterior experience, and we work the Winder, Bethlehem and Athens corridor every week. You get a written scope, photos of what we found, one point of contact and crews we know. Estimates are free and financing is available.
Timing an exterior project in Statham
Barrow County storm season runs spring into early summer and fills roofing schedules fast, so an inspection in the winter usually lets you pick your own start date. Painting is best in spring and fall, and siding work runs nearly year round when temperatures allow proper sealing.
What working with us looks like
We start with an on-site inspection: measurements, photos of every problem area, a roof walk when it is safe, and an attic check where there is access. You get a written scope that names the exact shingle or siding line, spells out the flashing and ventilation work, and lists cleanup and warranty terms. Where fiber cement and insulated vinyl are both reasonable on your home, you get both numbers side by side.
During the work you have one point of contact and crews we know rather than rotating subcontractors. Material arrives just before the start, the driveway stays usable, landscaping near the work is covered, and we haul debris and magnet-sweep for nails every evening. At completion we walk the house with you, finish anything on the punch list and hand over product documentation.
Outbuildings and larger lots
Many Statham properties include a detached garage, shop or barn. We can roof, side or paint those structures as separate line items so you can phase the work over a couple of seasons instead of taking it all on at once.
