Metal Roofing Contractor in Savannah, GA
Homeowners searching for a metal roofing contractor near me in Savannah need a crew that understands what local roofs actually face: hurricane and tropical-storm wind, salt-laden humid air, intense summer UV, and heavy oak and pine debris that holds moisture on the roof. Savannah Metal Roofing is the local choice for metal roof installation, replacement, re-roof, and repair on homes across the city and surrounding areas. From the historic row houses and Victorian gables of the Historic District and Thomas Square to the Lowcountry cottages of Tybee Island, Wilmington Island, and the Isle of Hope, we match the system to the structure and the exposure.
Our network of licensed, insured local contractors also serves Garden City, Pooler, Port Wentworth, Richmond Hill, and the surrounding Chatham, Effingham, and Bryan county communities. Whether your roof is a steep-pitch Victorian, a low-slope townhouse, or an aging screw-down panel system, we start with a straight assessment and a clear recommendation.

Metal Roof Repair, Leaks & Screw Replacement in Savannah
Most metal roof leaks in Savannah trace back to a handful of predictable failures. On 15 to 30 year old exposed-fastener roofs, the number one cause is fasteners backing out as the EPDM sealing washers dry, shrink, and crack under UV and heat. Once the washer fails, water reaches the screw shank and the hole enlarges. Seam separation from thermal movement is another common source on standing seam and ribbed panels, especially where panels were installed without proper clip spacing or closure. Failed pipe boots and flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys let water slip behind the metal, and wind-lifted panels after a storm open the laps. Fallen oak and pine limbs puncture panels and crush ribs, and the debris that stays on the roof holds moisture against the surface.
Ignoring these failures gets expensive fast. Water tracks along purlins and decking far from the entry point, so a small leak at a fastener can rot sheathing several feet away and saturate insulation before a stain appears on the ceiling. That hidden damage is why we inspect the whole roof assembly, not just the wet spot. Our metal roof repair and metal roof leak repair services address the source, not just the symptom.
The honest repair-versus-replace call matters here. If the panels are sound and the leaks come from tired fasteners and worn sealant, a full screw replacement and re-fastening with new washered fasteners often restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost. If the metal is perforated, the seams are failing across the field, or the decking is soft, replacement is the better money. We tell you which one you are looking at. Call (912) 468-1649 to schedule an inspection.
Metal Roofing Systems We Install in Savannah
We install the full range of metal systems and match the profile to the home, the pitch, and the budget. Standing Seam Metal Roofing is the premium choice: concealed clips, no exposed fasteners, and clean lines that suit everything from Historic District townhouses to Pooler subdivisions. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse for cabins, barns, carports, and workshops across Effingham and Bryan counties. We also install Metal Shingle Roofing, Stone-Coated Steel Roofing, and Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing for accents and historic profiles.
The honest comparison is simple: standing seam costs more up front but has no exposed screws to maintain, while screw-down costs less and needs its fasteners serviced over its life. When the deck is sound, Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) is a legitimate option that saves on tear-off and disposal. When the deck is soft or layered, tear-off and a full Metal Roof Replacement is the right call. We will tell you which applies to your roof.
How Much Does a Metal Roof Cost in Savannah?
Metal roof costs in Savannah are typically quoted per square foot for installations, while repairs are often flat-rate depending on scope. Price depends on the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity, tear-off versus recover, decking condition, and access. Historic District and waterfront properties often carry extra labor for profile matching and staging. We frame all figures as typical ranges, and final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions. Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, though that is never a guarantee.

Storm Damage, Insurance Claims & Permits in Savannah
After a storm, we inspect the roof and provide written documentation with photos that you may submit to your own insurer. We are not an insurance adjuster or agent, coverage decisions rest with your carrier, and we make no promise that a claim will be approved. We document what we find and leave the coverage decision to the people who make it.
On permits, in most jurisdictions a permit is commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof, but requirements vary by city and county, and inspection thresholds differ. Historic district or HOA design review can also restrict panel profile and color choices. Requirements vary, so always verify with the Savannah building or planning department before starting your project. For documentation or to schedule an inspection, contact us.
