Savannah Roof Pros provides professional roof ventilation in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Empire. Ventilation is the page where Savannah reaches a different answer than almost anywhere else, and the reason is the review process rather than the weather. On a protected roof, the vents everyone else installs are frequently not available to you.
A ridge vent raises the ridge line and changes the profile the building draws against the sky. Box vents and turbines put hardware on a slope where there was none. Both are alterations to the roofline, which is a defined term in the city's ordinance and precisely what the Historic District Board of Review is looking at. On a street-facing slope in the landmark district, that application is difficult and often the wrong ask.
So the sequence here inverts. We start at the eave, because intake is invisible and intake is what most attics are actually short of. Vented drip edge, restored soffit vents behind the original boxed cornice, and clearing the insulation that has been stuffed into the eave bays over the years will often fix an attic on their own. Then we look at gable-end vents, which many older Savannah houses already have and which nobody has to approve.
There is a second reason to be careful, and it runs against the reflex. With summer dewpoints here sitting around seventy degrees, the outdoor air you pull into an attic is carrying a great deal of moisture with it. Ventilating harder in July does not automatically dry an attic in this climate. It can load one, particularly where the ceiling plane leaks conditioned air and the two meet on a cool surface.
Which is why the unvented assembly deserves a hearing on the right house. Closed-cell foam applied at the underside of the roof deck brings the attic inside the thermal envelope, removes the condensing surface entirely, and requires no vent hardware on any visible slope. It costs more, it has to be detailed correctly around any combustion appliance, and on many protected roofs it is the only approach that avoids the board entirely.
We are not doctrinaire about this. On a Pooler or Richmond Hill house with unrestricted soffits and a simple gable roof, balanced intake and exhaust in the conventional ratio works well and costs little, and that is what we will fit. The point is that the right answer here depends on what your roof is allowed to look like, and any company that quotes ridge vent on every roof in this city has not asked that question.
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 ventilation
The difference between roof ventilation that lasts and roof ventilation 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.
