Savannah Roof Pros provides professional roof repair in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Empire. This is the page for damage without a leak. Tabs off one slope after an easterly blow, a split vent boot, ridge or hip cap worked loose, a cracked slate, a limb through a dormer face, or the hole a satellite dish left behind.
Georgia issues no roofing license to anyone, because the state board treats roofing as a traditional specialty rather than a licensed profession, and its residential and general contractor law only reaches jobs past $2,500.
Which makes the permit the verifiable thing on this coast, and which government issues it depends entirely on where the house sits. Inside the city, Development Services handles it. An unincorporated Chatham County address goes instead to the county Department of Building Safety and Regulatory Services, whose published list of work requiring a permit names re-roofing outright.
The small-repair threshold is set at whichever of those two counters has your address, not by the state. Patching in kind is generally treated as maintenance; replacing decking is not. Ask for the number before anyone opens a plane, and we will ask on your behalf and write the answer into the estimate.
In a designated district there is a second clock. Patching in kind usually passes as maintenance, but changing a visible material or profile is a change the Historic District Board of Review considers, and the certificate comes before the permit. We keep matching stock for exactly this reason.
Four checks settle the repair-or-replace question. The vintage of the covering. Whether the damage is on one plane or every plane. Whether the deck holds a fastener, which on open board sheathing is a real question. And whether the slope is carrying one covering or an overlay, since an overlay forecloses a recover.
Matching is the honest part. A new bundle against a weathered field reads lighter, discontinued shingle lines force a nearest match, and on slate or pressed tin the nearest match may be salvage rather than new. On a street-facing elevation that matters, so we hold the sample against the roof before you agree to anything.
And there is a point where we would rather lose the work. Asphalt with brittle tabs and bare mats does not want another patch. Slate and standing seam run the other way, because those coverings outlive several rounds of repair and replacing one early is a false economy. We will tell you which roof you have and quote accordingly.
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 roof repair
The difference between roof repair that lasts and roof repair 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.
