Savannah Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Empire. An inspection in Savannah has to produce more than a verdict. On a protected building it becomes the evidence file behind a Certificate of Appropriateness application, so it needs to identify materials, document existing conditions and photograph elevations well enough that a board member can see what is there.
That starts with naming the covering correctly, less obvious than it sounds. Slate gets confused with fiber cement. Terne-coated steel gets called tin. Pressed metal shingle gets called anything at all. On downtown roofs we routinely find three coverings stacked, each from a different century, and the bottom one is often what the ordinance cares about. We record seam spacing, exposure, fastener type and edge profile, because those are the numbers a matching submittal turns on.
The second half of the inspection happens underneath. We take moisture readings in the decking, look at the nail shanks for the rust pattern that tells you condensation is running down them, check the insulation for compaction and staining, and note whether the attic has any usable intake at all. In this climate, what is happening inside the assembly explains more roof failures than anything visible from a ladder.
Outside, we work a fixed sequence so nothing gets skipped. Field condition and remaining service life. Every penetration, boot and curb. Valleys and their terminations. Step and counterflashing at every wall and chimney. Parapet copings where there are parapets. Edge metal, fascia and the gutter line, including whether the run still falls the direction it was hung to fall. Then the ridge and any hip lines.
What you get back is written and photographed, with a plain statement of what needs doing now, what can wait a season, and what is simply old but working. We put a number against each item. We do not use the report as a lever to sell a replacement, and if the honest answer is that the roof has six good years left, the report says six good years.
Two moments make an inspection worth booking on its own. Before you buy a house in one of the districts, because a protected roof carries obligations a buyer should price in before closing rather than discover afterward. And after any named storm, whether or not you saw damage, since the failures that cost the most are the ones that were quietly wetting a deck for two seasons before anyone noticed a stain.
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 inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections 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.
