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 home repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: fixing cracked plaster, tired doors, leaking ceilings and storm damage on a freestanding house
- Townhouses and security estates: interior repairs inside a unit, with exterior damage reported to the body corporate first
- Coastal homes: repairing rusted frames, peeling paint and wind-driven rain damage near the sea
- Township homes and extensions: patching walls, mending roof sheets and replacing doors on family homes and extensions
- Older and character homes: matching old plaster, timber and fittings so repairs suit the character of the house
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing farmhouse walls, roofs and doors where the nearest hardware store is far away
