Roofing Company Savannah does new roof installation, built for the coast across Garden City and the rest of Chatham County. Garden City is an industrial and residential city just northwest of downtown Savannah. You get a free, photo-documented inspection, an honest repair-or-replace answer, and a crew that answers the phone after the job is done.
Roofing systems we install in Garden City
- High-wind architectural asphalt shingles: the most popular choice, durable and affordable, in coastal wind ratings and algae-resistant lines.
- Metal roofing: standing seam and panel systems, with aluminum favored near salt water.
- Shingle systems in a full range of colors to match your home and neighborhood.
- Flat and low-slope membranes for porches, additions and modern homes.
The layers under the shingles do the real work in a storm
On the coast the surface shingles are only half the system. Underneath, we run a tough synthetic underlayment across the whole field and a self-adhered, self-sealing membrane in the valleys, along the eaves, around every pipe and chimney, and on the storm-facing slopes. That membrane seals around the nails and keeps wind-driven rain out even when the surface layer is lifted, which is exactly what a tropical system does. It is the difference between a scare and a soaked ceiling.
Salt air goes after the details first
This close to the Atlantic, the air carries chloride salt that quietly corrodes the small metal parts of a roof, the fasteners, flashing, drip edge, vent boots and gutters, long before the shingles themselves wear out. A coastal roof rarely fails in the middle of the field; it fails at the edges and penetrations where cheap metal rusts. That is why we use corrosion-resistant fasteners (stainless or hot-dip galvanized, and 316 stainless right on the water at Tybee and the islands) and stainless or heavy-gauge aluminum flashing instead of the coated steel that streaks rust in a few years. On metal roofs near salt water we favor aluminum, which shrugs off salt far better than bare or galvanized steel.
Ventilation matters more here than people think
In our heat a poorly vented attic can push past 140 degrees, which bakes the shingles from underneath and traps the humidity that rots decking and grows mold. A balanced system, intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge, lets the attic breathe, lowers the deck temperature, extends the life of the shingles, and helps your cooling bill. We check and correct ventilation on every replacement; it is one of the cheapest ways to protect the roof you already have.
Installed clean, on schedule
A new roof is only as good as the crew that installs it. We prep and protect your property, tear off and dispose of the old roof, replace any bad decking, and build the new system to manufacturer spec, with the corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing the coast demands. You get a clear timeline up front and a clean site, magnet-swept for nails, when we leave.

A note on roofing in Garden City
Garden City sits just west of downtown Savannah and is dominated by the Georgia Ports Authority's Garden City Terminal, the largest single-terminal container port in North America. It is a mix of established working-class neighborhoods and heavy industrial and logistics buildings, so here we handle both residential shingle roofs and commercial flat and metal systems. River and port proximity puts salt in the air, so corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners are not optional.
Storms that have hit Garden City
May 4, 2017: an EF-1 tornado (peak near 110 mph) tracked north through Garden City, partly blowing down a wall of a home on Alfred Street, damaging part of an industrial building's metal roof north of Market Street, and collapsing three walls of an auto parts store near Highway 80. April 19, 2019: a tree fell on a home on 13th Street. Helene, September 26, 2024: a tree fell on a house on Dean Forest Road, causing a minor injury.

Common questions
What roofing materials do you install?
High-wind architectural and asphalt shingles, standing-seam and panel metal (aluminum favored near salt water), and flat/low-slope membranes for porches and additions. We help you choose the right one for your home, look, wind rating and budget.
What makes a roof 'built for the coast'?
Corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing (stainless or hot-dip galvanized, aluminum near the water), high-wind shingles nailed and sealed correctly, a full synthetic underlayment with self-sealing membrane at the vulnerable spots, and balanced attic ventilation. It is the details under and around the shingles that survive salt, sun and wind.
