What Roofing Costs in Savannah

What moves the price

• Total roof square footage (measured in 100 sq. ft. 'squares'), roof pitch, and one-story vs. two-story access
• Number of valleys, dormers, skylights, chimneys, and plumbing vents that need new metal flashing
• Material choice — standard architectural shingles, UL 2218 Class 4 impact shingles, or standing-seam metal
• Condition of the OSB or plywood decking underneath once the old shingles are torn off
• City building permit fees and, where applicable, historic district or HOA architectural review requirements

Savannah's median home was built in 1971 (ACS 2024). On older roofs, ask how decking repairs found during tear-off will be priced.

Tropical-system entries for Chatham County cluster in September and October (NOAA, 2010–2025). If you can, schedule non-urgent replacement work outside that window and ask how weather delays are handled.
