Savannah Roof Pros provides professional cool roof installation in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Empire. Savannah has the climate a cool roof was designed for: a long humid cooling season, a short mild winter, and sun that sits high for months. The product is two measured numbers, and both are worth real money here. Color alone tells you nothing. Both come off a published rating.
Those numbers are aged solar reflectance, the share of sunlight still returned after three years of weathering, and thermal emittance, how fast the surface sheds absorbed heat. Both are published by the Cool Roof Rating Council. On this coast the aged figure is the only one worth discussing, because salt air, algae and live oak debris darken a roof quickly. Ask for the listing by product name.
The case is strongest on low slope. Flat porch roofs, the additions behind older houses, and commercial tie-ins all take the sun nearly square through the afternoon. A reflective cap sheet or light single-ply is a straightforward specification on those planes rather than an upgrade. They are also the planes most likely to sit over conditioned space in this housing stock. The winter cost on those planes is negligible here.
On steep slopes it gets constrained fast. Downtown and in the historic district, appearance review is a real factor, and metal and slate carry their own expectations, so a high-reflectance surface may not be an available choice regardless of what it would do. We will tell you that before you fall for a sample board. Appearance review can settle this before physics does.
Before you pay for reflectance, though: a cool roof is not insulation and it is not ventilation. If the attic is thin, if the soffits are blocked, or if ductwork runs through that heat, those repairs do more for the house. That order of operations holds whether you buy reflectance or not, and it is cheaper. Blocked soffits are a common finding on an older Savannah attic.
So we quote reflectance by rated number, attach the listing to the estimate, and tell you which planes earn it. Membrane selection belongs with the low-slope scope and panel choice with the metal scope. You should expect the aged figure in writing and nothing beyond it, because no savings percentage or payback period can be supported for your house. Hold us to the rated number.
Our 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, 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, salvaged Welsh and Vermont slate relay work — 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 cool roof installation
The difference between cool roof installation that lasts and cool roof installation 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, one-by-six board sheathing over open rafters, Certificate of Appropriateness submittals to the Historic District Board of Review, 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.
