Tybee Island is a barrier island where raised beach cottages sit on stilts just blocks from the Atlantic, and the salt air hits every roof on the island. The housing stock here is a mix of classic 1920s to 1960s cottages, newer vacation homes, and a few historic structures near the Tybee Island Light Station. Lots are tight, and the live oaks and palms drop debris year-round.
Homeowners and property managers in Tybee Island (31328) call Savannah Metal Roofing because we understand what salt spray, hurricane winds, and intense UV do to a roof. We have replaced and repaired metal roofs on cottages near the Tybee Island Pier and along the back river, and we know the specific fasteners and coatings that hold up in this environment.
Metal Roofing in Tybee Island (31328)
Tybee Island sits on a sandy barrier island with a high water table, and many homes are raised on pilings or masonry piers. That means roof work often involves staging on uneven ground, working around decks and stairs, and dealing with salt-laden air that accelerates corrosion on fasteners and flashing. The wind off the ocean is constant, and during hurricane season, roofs take a beating from wind-driven rain and flying debris. We see a lot of failed fasteners, corroded panels, and seam separation on older metal roofs, especially on cottages that are within a few blocks of the beach. The tree canopy is mostly palms and some live oaks, so debris is less of an issue than on the mainland, but palm fronds and salt spray still take a toll.
Our team has been working on Tybee Island and across Chatham County for years. We know the local building department requirements, and we can help you choose a roof that meets wind ratings and looks right for a beach cottage.

How a Job Works in Tybee Island
Step 1: Call us at (912) 468-1649 or fill out our contact form. We will schedule a free on-site assessment at your Tybee Island property. We will inspect your current roof, check for leaks, corrosion, and wind damage, and discuss your options and budget. You will get a written estimate before any work begins.
Step 2: Once you approve the estimate, we will pull the necessary permits from the City of Tybee Island and schedule the work. On the island, access can be tight, especially on streets like Butler Avenue or near the Back River, so we plan for parking and material delivery. We will protect your landscaping and coordinate with any HOA or historic district requirements if applicable.
Step 3: After the job is done, we clean up thoroughly, haul away all old materials, and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure you are satisfied. We leave your property clean and your new roof ready for the next storm season.
Pricing for metal roofing in Tybee Island depends on the size and complexity of your roof, the material you choose, and the condition of the existing structure.

For smaller jobs, metal roof repair starts at $450, and screw replacement and re-fastening starts at $750.
