Siding, Seasons and the Macon Climate
Price is not the only test. In Macon - about 93°F in summer, 36°F on winter nights - these weather factors shape the right choice:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Georgia sits in region 5.
Moisture. Over the long run, trapped water does more damage here than cold. A rainscreen gap or drainable house wrap behind the siding lets the wall dry out instead of soaking the sheathing.
UV exposure. Ultraviolet light does more harm than cold in Macon. Dark vinyl soaks up heat and can distort, while a factory-baked finish on fiber cement holds its color much longer than paint applied on site.
Hail. Hail can crack vinyl, especially on a cool day when the plastic is stiff. Fiber cement resists hail far better, which can matter for insurance claims.
Warm weather lasts most of the year, which keeps the calendar flexible. The cooler months are the most pleasant for crews and often the easiest time to book. About 80 miles southeast of Atlanta, Macon has its own labor market, and the siding prices on this page are worked out for Macon rather than taken from the bigger city.
