Savannah Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roofing in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Empire. Wind is the real peril on this coast, and we will not talk you down from it. Chatham County is one of six coastal Georgia counties that sit in the state's most exposed wind territory, and roofs here are asked to hold against pressures that inland Georgia never sees.
Uplift does not push a roof down, it pulls it up, and it does the pulling hardest at the perimeter. Corners go first, then the rakes, then the eave courses, then the ridge.
Everything else in the field is largely along for the ride. Which is why a roof that failed in a tropical system almost always failed at its edges while the middle looks untouched, and why perimeter detailing is where the money should go.
The specifications that matter are unglamorous. A properly bonded starter course along the eave and up the rake, so the first tab has adhesive under its leading edge instead of the course above.
Six nails per shingle rather than four in the perimeter zones. Ring-shank fasteners set flush, not overdriven through the mat. Hemmed edge metal fastened tight. Ridge caps rated for the same wind speed as the field, which they frequently are not.
On metal roofs the failure moves to the attachment. Standing seam holds because concealed clips let the panel move while the seam stays engaged, and it fails when the clip spacing was drawn for a milder county. Exposed-fastener panels fail at the gasket, which hardens, shrinks and lets the screw work loose in a few hundred thermal cycles. On the historic flat-lock and terne roofs downtown, the cleat spacing along the seam is the number to check.
Partial loss is the hard case in a designated district, and the common one. Wind removes a section, and on a protected building the replacement has to match the material and profile that survived. That may mean sourcing a discontinued shingle, relaying salvaged slate, or forming pans to an old seam spacing no supplier stocks. We plan for it from the first visit, because the alternative reads as a scar from the street.
The upgrade worth having is the one you cannot see. When a Savannah roof comes off for replacement, the deck is exposed and it is the only moment you can reasonably fasten the sheathing to the framing properly and seal the deck seams before the covering goes back on. It costs comparatively little at that point and it is the difference between losing a covering and losing a ceiling.
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 wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind damage roofing 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.
