Homes and buildings in Decatur

Decatur has a mix of old and newer buildings: about 54% of homes were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1975. Double-pane windows from the 1980s and 1990s are now at the age when seals fail and the glass fogs up. More homes here went up before 1940 than in any other period. That makes its housing older than about 75% of Georgia towns its size.

About 35% of homes are in apartment buildings, where one failed window or sticking entry door affects a whole building's upkeep. About 66% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.

Tornadoes in DeKalb County

NOAA storm records for DeKalb County list 5 hail reports (the largest 1.75 inches across), 97 thunderstorm wind reports and 3 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail that size can break window glass and dent aluminum frames.

Humid summers wear out sealants and insulated glass, and wind-driven rain finds any weak seal.
