Savannah Roof Pros provides professional roof coatings & sealing in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Empire. Coatings are oversold, and in a damp coastal city they are oversold with consequences. We install them, we specify them where they earn their keep, and we spend a fair amount of time talking Savannah owners out of them. This page explains where the line sits.
A coating earns its keep on a sound low-slope membrane. If a downtown TPO or modified bitumen roof is dry underneath, still bonded and simply weathered at the surface, a silicone or acrylic system adds years, cuts the heat load and costs a fraction of a tear-off. That is a genuine restoration and we recommend it readily. The condition that makes it work is dryness, and dryness is something you confirm with a survey rather than assume.
Coat a wet roof and you have not fixed anything, you have sealed the problem in. Moisture trapped in the insulation cannot dry upward through a new impermeable layer, so it moves sideways, corrodes the deck and spreads the damage well past the original leak. When the roof finally comes off, the tear-off is larger and more expensive than it would have been. In this climate that mistake is common enough that we lead with it.
On asphalt shingles we decline outright. Coating a shingle roof blocks the mat from drying, adds weight to a covering that was engineered without it, voids essentially every manufacturer warranty still in force, and makes the eventual tear-off filthy and slow. It is sold as a way to buy five more years from a tired roof. What it usually buys is a worse version of the same roof and a bigger bill later.
Historic metal is the case that needs the most care. An old terne or tin-plate roof wants paint, applied on a maintenance cycle after proper preparation, and that is how those roofs have survived a century and a half. A thick elastomeric coating over the same roof hides the corrosion you need to see, bridges the seams that are supposed to move, and is difficult to reverse if the board ever asks you to.
So the honest summary is short. On a dry commercial membrane, a coating is a good purchase and we will quote it. On a wet one, it is a way of paying twice. On shingles, no. On protected metal, only with preparation and a product chosen for reversibility, and after talking through what the review process expects. Ask us to survey first, and take the answer even when it costs us the sale.
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 roof coatings & sealing
The difference between roof coatings & sealing that lasts and roof coatings & sealing 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.
