Why Savannah is different

Coastal Georgia Eats Cheap Roofs Alive

We've installed and repaired roofs in this climate for years. Three forces in Savannah destroy the systems that work fine inland: hurricane-zone wind uplift, year-round humidity that drives moisture into wet insulation, and brutal UV that ages membrane chemistry years faster than spec. The systems we install are specced specifically for what coastal Georgia does to a roof.

✓ Wind-uplift fastening. Our plate-and-screw patterns follow ASCE 7 wind-zone spec for Coastal Georgia — tighter at perimeter and corner zones, not the warehouse pattern an out-of-town crew would use.
✓ Vapor retarders on every install. Year-round humidity drives interior moisture up into the insulation if you skip the vapor barrier. Wet polyiso loses R-value and rots from the deck up. Every full system we install gets one.
✓ Cover boards over insulation. Required by every manufacturer warranty we honor, often skipped by low-bid crews. Protects polyiso from foot traffic and fastener pull-through.
✓ Heat-welded or fully-adhered seams. Modern single-ply seams are stronger than the membrane itself when welded correctly. We probe-test every weld on every project.
✓ Hurricane-rated edge details. Edge metal is where wind events start lifting a roof. Cleat-and-fastener spacing matters more in our climate than in the spec book a national contractor uses.
✓ Historic district compliance. Savannah's Historic Review Board has approved profiles for low-slope and standing-seam metal. We handle the HRB / COA process as part of the project.

Our process

How a Commercial Roof Project Runs With Coastal Roofing of Georgia

Step one is a thorough rooftop inspection — IR moisture survey or capacitance probe on flat roofs, panel-by-panel check on metal. We document everything with photos, send you a written report, and tell you what we'd do if it were our building.

If the deck and insulation are sound and the membrane is just aged, we'll recommend a coating restoration — 30-50% of the cost of a full reroof and another 10-15 years on the roof. If the insulation is wet or the membrane is shot, we spec a tear-off and full system replacement matched to your building's use case.

Our project managers coordinate everything: permits with City of Savannah or Chatham County, dumpster placement that doesn't block your dock, tear-off scheduling around your business hours, HVAC crane coordination if rooftop units need to come off and go back on, and the inspections required by Georgia building code and your manufacturer warranty.

On the install itself: every member of every crew is W-2, drug-tested, and trained on the specific system going on your roof. No day-labor subs. Every weld gets probe-tested. Every flashing detail gets photographed. We hand you a roof you can warranty against the manufacturer and us — and a maintenance program that keeps both warranties valid.

Common Questions

How much does commercial roofing cost in Savannah, GA?

Commercial roofing in Savannah typically costs $5.50–$8.50 per square foot for TPO, $7.00–$11.00 for PVC, $5.50–$9.00 for EPDM, $11.00–$18.00 for standing-seam metal, and $2.50–$4.50 for an acrylic coating restoration — all installed. Final pricing depends on roof size, condition of the existing assembly, edge complexity, and access. We provide written estimates after a free rooftop inspection.

Who is the best commercial roofing contractor in Savannah, GA?

There's no universal best — there's a best fit for your building. Coastal Roofing of Georgia is the right call for owners who want a locally-owned Coastal Georgia specialist with a 5.0/27 review record and 24/7 emergency response. National contractors fit huge multi-state portfolios; veteran local firms fit traditional BUR work. We'll tell you honestly which fits your project at inspection.

What commercial roofing systems do you install in Savannah?

We install five commercial systems: TPO single-ply (warehouses, retail, schools, churches), PVC single-ply (restaurants, cold storage, hospitals), EPDM rubber (retrofits, large open fields), standing-seam metal (churches, historic, 40+ year asset holds), and 100% acrylic restoration coatings (extends an aging-but-intact roof another 10-15 years).

How long does commercial roof installation take in Savannah?

A typical 10,000-square-foot commercial roof replacement takes 5-10 business days from tear-off to final inspection. Larger warehouse or industrial roofs may require 2-4 weeks. Coatings go faster: 1-3 days for most buildings. We work around your operating hours and stage materials so the dock and parking lot keep functioning.

Do I need a permit for commercial roofing work in Savannah?

Yes — commercial roofing projects in Savannah require permits from the City of Savannah or Chatham County depending on property location. New installs, complete replacements, and structural modifications all require permits. We handle the permit application, code compliance, inspection scheduling, and any Savannah Historic Review Board (HRB) approvals as part of the project.

What's the difference between TPO and PVC in Savannah?

Both are single-ply white membranes that heat-weld at the seams. The difference is chemistry. TPO is the lower-cost, default commercial system — perfect for clean warehouse, retail, and school rooftops. PVC is chemically resistant — built specifically for restaurant kitchen exhaust, cold-storage condensate, and food-service grease that would degrade TPO. For a Savannah restaurant, we install PVC every time. Our TPO vs PVC roofing comparison breaks down cost per square foot, lifespan, and which membrane wins for coastal commercial roofs.

Do you do emergency commercial roof leak repair in Savannah?

Yes — 24/7 emergency commercial response across Coastal Georgia. We tarp, patch, and stop the active leak the same day, then schedule the permanent repair around your operations. Common emergency calls in Savannah: hurricane-event damage, HVAC condensate failures, and clogged drains during summer thunderstorms.

How often should a commercial roof in Savannah be inspected?

Twice yearly minimum — once in spring before hurricane season, again in fall after summer storms. Inspect after any major weather event or if you notice interior water stains. Our CoastalCare™ maintenance program puts this on a calendar with documented reports, which is also what most manufacturer warranties require to stay valid.

Savannah commercial roofing decisions

Repair, Replace, Coat, or Claim: Savannah Commercial Roofing Questions

Should I repair or replace a commercial flat roof in Savannah?

Repair when the leaks are isolated and the insulation under the membrane is still dry. Replace when a moisture survey shows saturated insulation across a large share of the roof, when seams are failing in more than one area, or when you are calling for the same leak several times a year. Savannah heat and humidity make wet insulation worse fast, because trapped moisture keeps cooking under the membrane and spreads. We give you the moisture map with both prices so the decision is based on the roof, not a sales pitch.

How long does a commercial roof last in Savannah's climate?

General industry ranges are 20 to 25 years for TPO and PVC, 20 to 30 for EPDM and modified bitumen, and 40 or more for standing-seam metal. Savannah pushes roofs toward the low end of those ranges, because UV, humidity, and salt air work on seams, fasteners, and edge metal year round. Roofs here that get inspected twice a year and repaired promptly routinely outlast roofs of the same age and system that nobody looks at.

Does insurance pay for hail or hurricane damage to a commercial roof in Savannah?

Wind, hail, and hurricane damage are normally covered events on a commercial property policy. Claims get denied over proof, not coverage, so document before you clean anything up: dated photos of the roof and of any interior water damage, plus a written inspection report that ties the damage to the storm date. We inspect, document, meet the adjuster on the roof, and give you a line-item scope so the settlement matches the actual repair.

What is the difference between a commercial roof coating and a replacement?

A coating is a fluid-applied layer rolled or sprayed over a roof that is still structurally sound and mostly dry. It seals seams and small breaks, reflects heat, and buys years of service life for well under the price of tearing off. A replacement removes the old system down to the deck, replaces wet insulation, and starts the warranty clock over. If the insulation is saturated, coating over it just seals the water in, so we run a moisture survey before recommending either one.

Warranties and membrane choice

Commercial Roof Warranties and Membrane Choice in Savannah, GA

What types of commercial roof warranty are there?

There are three. A manufacturer material warranty covers defects in the membrane or the panels. A contractor workmanship warranty covers the installation. A manufacturer system warranty, often called NDL or no dollar limit, covers materials and labor together when an approved assembly is installed by a contractor the manufacturer has approved for it. System warranties are the strongest and also the strictest, because they usually require documented annual inspections and approved repairs, so undocumented work by another crew can void one.

Is EPDM a good choice for a commercial roof in Savannah?

EPDM is durable and handles temperature swing and foot traffic well, but the standard black membrane absorbs heat, which works against you in a Savannah cooling season. It earns its place on roofs with heavy mechanical traffic, on buildings where the roof sits in shade, and where a white membrane would be hard to keep clean. For most Chatham County buildings that run air conditioning all summer, a reflective TPO or PVC membrane is the better fit, and we make that call after seeing what runs on and under the roof.

What should an office building look for in a roofing contractor?

Office roofs are different from warehouse roofs in one way that matters: people are working underneath, every day, on every floor. The contractor needs a plan for odor and noise, a phased tear-off so only one section is ever open, and a schedule that works around occupied hours. Ask how they handle rooftop HVAC units, because most office buildings have several and the flashing around them is where leaks start. Ask for the written scope before anyone gets on the roof.
