Savannah Roof Pros provides professional residential roof installation in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Empire. This is the roof that goes on a structure which has never had one. New construction, a rear addition, a carriage house conversion, a garage going up off a lane. Nothing to tear off, nothing to haul away. A bare deck, and a schedule to hold.
Inside the landmark district the covering is not purely your choice. The Historic District Board of Review's standards for new construction, and for alterations to non-contributing buildings, list the acceptable coverings: standing seam metal, V-crimp, slate or an equivalent synthetic, tile, or architectural asphalt shingle. Metal roofs are required to carry a metal drip edge covering all edges. A Certificate of Appropriateness comes before the permit, and applications go through the Metropolitan Planning Commission.
Which government inspects the work turns on where the structure sits. A city address goes to Development Services. An unincorporated Chatham County address goes to the county Department of Building Safety and Regulatory Services.
Either way the sequence runs framing, then the deck while the nailing is still visible, then dry-in, then final. Nobody buries a deck an inspector has not seen.
The dry-in is the part worth planning the week around. Between the review calendar and a Coastal Empire summer, the window between an open deck and a signed-off framing inspection is where this job is won or lost. We would rather sit on a deck for two dry days than open one ahead of an afternoon that is already building over the river.
The material decision here is more honest than people expect. Architectural asphalt sits on the board's own approved list, so on a rear addition the inexpensive answer is frequently the correct one. Standing seam earns its cost on low-slope tie-ins and anywhere a live oak will keep a slope damp past noon. Slate belongs on a new build only where the main house already carries it and the framing was designed for the weight.
No Georgia agency licenses roofing, so there is no card to wave at you. What there is, is a closed permit and an approved submittal, and both are public. If your builder already carries a roofer who has taken a Certificate of Appropriateness through the Metropolitan Planning Commission and knows the drip edge language by heart, keep them. Replacing a roofer who already understands this district mid-build is a cost with no return.
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 residential roof installation
The difference between residential roof installation that lasts and residential 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.
