On Savannah's coast, metal roofing's sealed panels and concealed fasteners resist wind-driven rain far better than lapped shingles — a real advantage in a tropical-storm climate. Costs in Savannah vary by metal type and pitch — steel and aluminum standing-seam systems run higher than corrugated options, and the local labor market affects final pricing. Georgia residential contractor license may apply to jobs over $2,500 (State Licensing Board for Residential and Commercial General Contractors) — verify your contractor's status before signing.

What Savannah's climate means for metal roofing

  • On Savannah's coast, specify aluminum or coated-steel panels rated for high wind uplift — bare steel fasteners corrode in salt air, so coastal-grade coatings matter.

Metal Roofing in Savannah: questions

How do I find a metal roofing company in Savannah?
PickARoofer lists roofing companies serving Savannah, GA. This is a general roofing directory; confirm metal roofing experience and availability with each company. A Verified badge describes a separate registry check, not a confirmed service specialty or insurance check. Confirm scope, insurance and availability directly. Requests go to one contractor at a time, with up to three attempts; a response or start date is not guaranteed. Free for homeowners.
Should I repair or fully re-roof in Savannah?
Ask a roofer to document the damage and compare a written repair scope with a replacement estimate. Roof condition, remaining life, materials and the extent of damage affect the decision. Confirm any inspection fee before booking.
How big does hail get near Savannah?
The largest hail NOAA logged near Savannah measured 1.75 inches, about the size of a golf ball. Hail of an inch or more fell on 12 days in the same record. The biggest day was April 5, 2017, with 5 reports. The National Weather Service calls hail of 1 inch or larger severe; the bigger the stone, the more likely it is to crack a shingle.
What does roofing cost in Savannah?
For an average 2,000 sq ft home we model metal roof at $14,960 to $35,200 in Savannah, around $25,100 in the middle. That is about 15.6% of the median home value of $160,700. Your quote moves with roof size, pitch and how many layers come off.
When is hail season in Savannah?
June is the worst month: 30% of the 37 hail reports NOAA holds for the county came then. Reports run from February to August. Book the inspection before February, while crews still have open dates.
How old are the homes in Savannah, and does it matter for the roof?
The median home in Savannah was built in 1978, and 55.6% of homes date from before 1980 (Census ACS). A roof on a home that old has often been re-covered at least once, so ask the roofer whether there is a second layer underneath: it changes the tear-off cost. The area sees about 8 freeze-thaw days a year, which loosens flashing and sealant.
How many roofing companies work around Savannah?
The Census Bureau counts 21 roofing companies with payroll in Chatham County, employing about 148 people. 61.9% of them have fewer than five employees, so most quotes come from owner-run crews. A roofer's median pay is $48,740 a year (BLS).
What metal roofing options make sense for Savannah homes?
The most common choices in the Savannah market are standing-seam steel (40+ year lifespan, highest cost, concealed fasteners), corrugated steel or ribbed panels (lower cost, exposed fasteners that need periodic checking), and stone-coated steel (looks like traditional shingles, very durable). Aluminum is a good fit near salt-air environments because it does not rust. Copper is used on specialty architectural applications. The right choice depends on your roof pitch, architectural style, and budget — a local contractor familiar with Savannah conditions can walk through the options on your roof.
How do I find a qualified metal roofing contractor in Savannah?
Metal roofing installation is more specialized than standard shingle work — look for contractors who hold manufacturer certification for the specific panel system they are installing, since certification is often required to activate the full warranty. Georgia residential contractor license may apply to jobs over $2,500 (State Licensing Board for Residential and Commercial General Contractors). PickARoofer lists Savannah-area contractors. Contractors with a Verified badge have had their license independently confirmed against the official state registry. Submit your request above and one specialist contacts you directly — not a list of competing bids.
Do I need a permit for metal roofing in Georgia?
Permit requirements depend on the property, scope of work and local jurisdiction. Check with the city or county building department and confirm who will obtain any required permit before work starts.
