Savannah Roof Pros provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Empire. Downtown Savannah is a low-slope city. Behind the parapets along Broughton Street, through the River Street warehouse blocks and across the row buildings in between, most of what covers those buildings is flat, invisible from the sidewalk, and governed by a rule worth understanding before you spend anything.
The rule is that the review line runs at the coping. What the Historic District Board of Review considers is what can be seen and what defines the building's character, and on a row building that means the parapet, its coping, the cornice and anything breaking the roofline. The membrane in the field, hidden behind a parapet, is generally not a visible material. So you get real freedom on the system and very little on the edge.
That freedom is worth using well. We specify sixty-mil TPO where reflectivity and heat rejection matter, EPDM where the roof carries traffic and equipment and punctures are the likelier failure, and two-ply modified bitumen where the deck is irregular or the roof has too many odd penetrations for a single-ply layout to work cleanly. Each of those is the right answer somewhere and the wrong answer somewhere else.
The coping is where these roofs actually fail, and also the part the board cares about. Joints open as the metal moves, sealant never meant to be structural gives up, and water enters the top of the wall rather than the roof, travels down inside the masonry and appears on a ceiling below. We detail copings with proper joint covers and continuous cleats, matched to the existing profile, so movement is accommodated instead of caulked over.
Drainage deserves more attention than it usually gets on these buildings. Savannah takes close to half its annual rainfall across the summer months, mostly in short, heavy thunderstorms, and an internal drain sized generations ago for a different roof surface backs up quickly. We check drain and scupper capacity, tapered insulation layout and the actual standing-water pattern after a storm, then fix the low spots rather than adding membrane over them.
Recovery over an existing system is sometimes right and often not. If the existing membrane is dry, bonded and structurally sound, a recovery board and a new sheet saves real money and a great deal of disruption to whatever business is operating below. If there is moisture in the insulation, and a survey will tell you, then covering it seals the problem in and you pay for it twice. We survey before we recommend either.
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 flat & low-slope roofing
The difference between flat & low-slope roofing that lasts and flat & low-slope roofing 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.
