Cumming, Georgia
Cumming Painting Company
Cumming is the county seat of Forsyth County, with Lake Lanier along its east side. Most of our work here is in 30040, 30041, and 30028, from older homes near downtown to the golf and swim-tennis streets in south Forsyth. A lake lot is not the same bid as a newer two-story in a Vickery or Windermere-style subdivision.

Cumming climate
Why Painting in Cumming Is Different
Cumming gets more rain than any other city we serve, and its homes run from downtown cottages to golf estates.
The wettest gauge on our map
NOAA's Cumming 2N station, 1.6 miles from the square, averages 56.37 inches of rain a year. That's the most of any station near our cities. We plan rain days into every Cumming job.
Vickery townhomes
Vickery mixes townhomes and village-style homes near shops and green space. Work sits close to sidewalks and neighbors, so we plan drop cloths, parking and quiet start times.
Windermere's mixed fronts
Windermere homes often put brick, stone and fiber cement on one front. Each needs its own prep. We cover the stone and brick unless you want them painted.
Tall gables at Polo
Polo Golf and Country Club homes are big, with tall gables. We bring tall ladders or a lift for the high peaks and line up the color approval before the crew shows up.
Lake lots east of town
Wooded lots toward Lake Lanier hold dew on decks and fascia. We wash, let it dry and check for soft boards before we stain or paint.
Older homes near the square
Downtown homes near the county square have more windows and wood trim. That's where most of the prep time goes.
Cumming homes by the numbers
- 1998 is the median build year in Cumming. Only 16.8% of homes are older than 1980, so most repaints here start with caulk and faded color.
- About 1 in 6 homes (16.8%) is a townhome or other attached house. On a shared building, we match the color your HOA or neighbors already use.
- 87 rainy days a year. The Cumming 2N gauge logs about 87 days with a tenth of an inch or more, and about 17 days with a full inch. Wet siding needs time to dry before we paint.
- 32 days over 90°F and 67 freezing nights make up a normal year there. Caulk has to stretch and shrink with that, so we use a flexible one.
- 10.43 feet: Big Creek near Cumming crested there in the September 2009 floods. Low lots near a creek stay damp, so we check the bottom boards for swelling.
- 7 to 9 inches of rain fell on Forsyth County during Helene in September 2024. Paint over wet siding blisters, so a storm like that pushes the start date back.

Cumming paint calendar
When to paint in Cumming
Cumming has the wettest rain gauge on our map, NOAA's Cumming 2N station, so this calendar matters more here than anywhere.
Rain almost every week
Cumming 2N averages about 8 rainy days in most months from December through July. December has the most, about 8.4. We build rain days into every quote.
Fall is your window
October has the fewest rainy days, about 5, and the least rain, 3.97 inches. It's the best month to book a Cumming exterior.
Mild summers
July brings about 12 days over 90°F and August about 11. Those are some of the mildest summers among our cities, which makes summer painting easier.
Built in the 2000s
Census counts 22.6% of Cumming homes as built in the 2000s and 24.7% since 2010. Newer homes often need a color refresh and fresh caulk more than wood repair.

Cumming questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why hire Atlanta Painting Company in Cumming?
Atlanta Painting Company, going by the record: 15,000+ homes painted in metro Atlanta since 2006 and the 2024 Angi Super Service Award. Our Johns Creek office runs the Cumming crews, from the town square out to the golf communities.
How long does exterior house paint last in Cumming?
Most Cumming exteriors last 7 to 10 years when the prep is done right. Fairway lots catch hard afternoon sun on the west side, and shaded backs near Lake Lanier grow algae from pollen and humidity. Clay splash marks the lowest boards. A high-flex acrylic on siding, and a breathable coating on brick or stone, gives the longest run.
How long does it take to paint a house in Cumming?
Plan on 3 to 5 business days. Stone and brick prep, wood rot repair, or a wait on an architectural review board can add a few more, especially on taller golf-community homes.
How much does house painting cost in Cumming?
On our own completed jobs, a 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft home ran $5,220 to $8,200 for the exterior and $3,350 to $7,700 for the interior. Your fixed written price comes after we see the house.
Do you help with picking paint colors in Cumming?
Yes. Windermere and Polo both have architectural rules, so we read those before anything gets picked. After that, physical Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore samples go up on your actual walls.
Are your Cumming painters licensed and insured?
Yes. Every crew working in 30040, 30041 and 30028 is covered by general liability, commercial auto and workers’ compensation insurance.
What warranty do you offer on Cumming painting projects?
Standard residential work in Cumming carries our 3-year warranty, labor and materials both.
Do I have to buy the paint?
No. We bring the paint, primer, sealants and masking supplies.
