Savannah Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Empire. Asphalt is the right roof for most of this metro, and we say that without hedging. Outside the designated districts, on the Southside, in Georgetown and Windsor Forest, across Pooler and Richmond Hill and the newer subdivisions, a well-installed laminate shingle roof is the sensible purchase.
It is also the right answer inside the districts more often than people expect. Not every building in a historic district is a contributing one. Mid-century infill, rear additions and post-war houses in the outer districts routinely carry asphalt already, and replacing it in kind is straightforward. What the board resists is asphalt appearing where slate or metal used to be, and that is a different conversation with a different answer.
Within asphalt, we push people away from three-tab and toward architectural laminate almost every time. The laminate carries two bonded layers rather than one, which roughly doubles the material at any given point, holds a higher wind rating and does not telegraph every ripple in an old board deck the way a flat three-tab does. On a Savannah roof the wind rating alone justifies the difference in price.
Coastal exposure does shorten the life you should plan around. Ultraviolet load is heavy, the summer deck temperatures are high, and the humid stretches keep organic growth alive on north-facing slopes longer than a drier climate would. Copper and zinc granule technology helps with the staining, though it is a cosmetic question rather than a structural one. Plan on the shorter end of whatever range the wrapper promises and you will not be disappointed.
The install is where the value actually sits. Starter along the eave and the rake, six nails in the perimeter zones, self-adhered membrane in the valleys and at every penetration, and a synthetic field underlayment rather than felt, which wrinkles when it gets damp and prints through. On plank sheathing we check fastener holding before the first bundle goes up, because a nail in a gap between boards is worth nothing.
One thing we will not do is lay a second layer over the first. It is legal in places, it saves money on the day, and it traps a hot, damp layer against the deck while hiding whatever rot is underneath. In this climate that is a poor trade. Tear it off, look at the deck, fix what you find, and start the new roof from a surface you have actually seen.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — standing-seam and flat-lock terne metal with concealed clips, through-wall counterflashing let into lime mortar joints, half-round copper gutter with round downspouts, one-by-six board sheathing over open rafters, Certificate of Appropriateness submittals to the Historic District Board of Review, self-adhered high-temperature underlayment at eaves and valleys — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Savannah and nearby communities including Pooler, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Thunderbolt.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with standing-seam and flat-lock terne metal with concealed clips, through-wall counterflashing let into lime mortar joints, half-round copper gutter with round downspouts, one-by-six board sheathing over open rafters, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Savannah job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Coastal Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
