Five kinds of roof work, one simple request

Roof Services in Savannah, GA

Roofs around Savannah, GA wear out in different ways, from salt-worn metal on the islands to sun-baked shingles in the suburbs. Below is a short guide to the five kinds of work homeowners in Chatham County ask about most. Each request goes to one independent local roofer, never to this site.

Roof Services Overview

Homes here range from older masonry and frame houses in the historic districts to midtown bungalows, newer subdivisions and raised houses near the water. That spread shapes which job makes sense. Each page below explains one type of work and what to ask about it.

  • Full replacement. The old roofing comes off down to the deck, damaged boards are swapped out and a new roof goes on. Read more on the roof replacement page.
  • Storm and hail damage. Tropical wind, heavy rain and falling limbs cause most storm repairs here. See the storm damage page for what to photograph and how claims work.
  • Metal roofs. Exposed-fastener panels cost less up front; standing seam hides its screws. Near the marsh, coated panels and sturdier fasteners matter. Compare them on the metal roof page.
  • Shingle roofs. Architectural shingles cover most newer houses. Ask about wind ratings and algae-resistant shingles for the damp summers on the shingle roof page.
  • Repairs. Lifted tabs, worn flashing and slow leaks can often be fixed without starting over. The roof repair page covers when that works.

Picking the Right Service

Start with the roof's age and what you can see. A roof that's still fairly young with one problem spot usually points to a repair. An older roof with curling shingles, rusty fasteners or stains in more than one room leans toward replacement. The repair-or-replace quiz walks through those questions in five short steps.

If you're comparing materials, the cost calculator gives a rough range for shingles or metal based on your home's size, stories and roof steepness. It's a planning number, and the roofer's written estimate is what counts.

Two local rules apply whatever you choose. Inside Savannah's city limits, roofing is on the list of jobs that need a building permit, and pulling it is the roofer's task. In a local historic district, ask the Historic Preservation Office or the MPC about a Certificate of Appropriateness before any old roofing is removed.

Get the Process Moving

Not sure which service fits? You don't need to know. Describe the roof on the form and the roofer will sort out whether it needs a repair or a full replacement. The roofing company pays this site for the referral; you pay nothing to send the request and get nothing from the site in return.
