3A — Warm-Humid

Typical housing stock: 1980s–2000s (suburban expansion era) — Suburban single-family, newer townhomes, older Craftsman bungalows in-town

Atlanta's warm, humid climate creates persistent moisture challenges. Crawl spaces and basements are prime mold environments. The metro sits in the highest termite risk zone in the U.S. — annual inspections are essential. Severe thunderstorms with hail and high winds hit regularly from March through September.

Local labor market: Atlanta labor rates are moderate — slightly below coastal metros. The booming housing market means contractor schedules fill quickly. In-town neighborhoods may require historic district permits.

Seasonal maintenance tip Schedule termite inspection annually. Clean gutters twice per year (fall leaves, spring pollen). Service HVAC before the long cooling season starts in April.
