Roof Replacement
Savannah Specialists

Replacing a roof in Savannah, GA involves navigating Chatham County's permitting process while accounting for Savannah's distinctive combination of tree canopy coverage, coastal humidity, and historic preservation considerations.

Savannah's famous oak canopy creates specific roofing challenges: falling limbs cause physical damage to shingles and gutters, and the dense canopy limits sunlight on north-facing roof sections — promoting the algae and moss growth that accelerates shingle deterioration faster than in more exposed areas.

For historic properties in Savannah's 22 historic squares area and adjacent landmark districts, the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) may have requirements for exterior alterations. Chatham County processes permits for all Savannah roof replacements, and the review timeline typically runs 3–5 business days for residential projects.

Humidity-resistant underlayment — such as synthetic felt or self-adhering modified bitumen — is standard on all Tucker Contractors Savannah installations to address the region's persistently high moisture levels year-round.

Local Permits & Codes
