|---|---|---|---|

What Moves the Number
Cost Factors Specific to Savannah
Decking under the canopy
Shaded, humid roof sections in Ardsley Park, Midtown, and the Historic District rot faster. We price decking per 4x8 sheet ($75–$125 installed) and set the allowance before work starts.
Limb damage and tree work
Oak limbs over the roof are the top cause of early failure in Savannah. We flag limbs to trim before installation; tree work is quoted separately.
Pitch and complexity
Victorian and Historic District homes with multiple dormers, steep slopes, and chimney stacks run 10–25% above a simple gable because of flashing and labor.
Layers to tear off
A second shingle layer adds roughly $1–$2 per square foot. Tucker Contractors never overlays a new roof on an old one.
Humidity-ready underlayment
Synthetic or self-adhering underlayment is standard in every Savannah quote because of year-round 75% average humidity; it is not an upsell.
Material pricing in 2026
Shingle prices rose again in 2025–2026. We quote current distributor pricing and hold written estimates for 30 days.
Permits & Historic Review in Chatham County
A full roof replacement in Savannah requires a building permit from Chatham County Building Safety & Regulatory Services; Tucker Contractors pulls it and schedules inspections for you. Homes in the Savannah Historic Landmark District or other locally designated districts may also need a Certificate of Appropriateness for visible material changes. We handle the paperwork; it adds review time, not construction cost.

Insurance Claim or Out of Pocket?
If wind, hail, or a fallen tree damaged your roof, your homeowners policy may cover the replacement minus your deductible. Age and wear are not covered. We photograph and document the damage, write a report your adjuster can use, and meet the adjuster at your Savannah home when it helps.
If a claim is not worth filing, we will say so. Unnecessary claims can raise premiums, and a retail replacement with financing is sometimes the better call.
Flexible financing is available for retail projects. Ask when we follow up on your estimate.
“Allen was great, he worked with my insurance which did not want to cover the damages from the storm. He was able to prove his case with the insurance field adjuster who completely agreed with him once they were shown in person. Reasonable price and the work looks good.”
“Allen gave me a low price to replace my roof when insurance was going to drop my coverage. He was very communicative and kept me updated every step of the way. If you are in the Charleston/West Ashley area I couldn't recommend them more!”
“Highly recommend this roofing company. They were professional, showed up when they said they would, and did an excellent job from start to finish. The crew worked efficiently, kept everything clean, and the finished roof looks great. Fair pricing, great communication, and quality workmanship. Couldn't be happier with the results.”
