Homes and weather in George
George lies between the Outeniqua mountains and the Garden Route coast, with leafy suburbs like Heatherlands, Dormehls Drift and Blanco, plus large township areas such as Thembalethu. Homes include older plastered houses, thatch-roof homes, estates, and holiday homes near Wilderness and Herolds Bay. The climate is mild but wet, with rain at any time of year, so mould, damp walls, leaking roofs and blocked gutters are common. Termites and borer are active in timber and decks, and coastal homes face salt rust. Typical jobs include waterproofing, repainting, gutters, deck repairs, roof repairs, fencing and security gates. Local hardware stores and merchants supply a wide range of materials.

Typical carpentry requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: building cupboards, repairing door frames and fitting skirting in family homes
- Townhouses and security estates: fitting shelves and built-in units without disturbing neighbours in shared walls
- Coastal homes: replacing timber damaged by damp with treated wood and rust-resistant fixings
- Township homes and extensions: repairing door frames and building simple shelving in extensions and backyard rooms
- Older and character homes: matching old skirtings, sash windows and doors with careful timber repairs
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing farmhouse doors, floors and roof timbers, and building outbuilding fittings
