When homeowners call us about metal roofing in Savannah, GA, Eicher's Pro Vinyl is the name they reach, and we back every installation with a 40-year manufacturer warranty and a 5-year workmanship warranty at no extra cost. Savannah averages 45.9 inches of rain a year, wind gusts up to 46.3 mph, and a high tree canopy that keeps moisture against whatever is on your roof, so a material that shrugs off rust and corrosion is not a luxury here. We have been installing metal roofing across Chatham County since 1998, and our crews are employees, not subcontractors, which means the same standards apply on every job from Wilmington Island to Port Wentworth.

What Savannah homeowners tell us before they call

The conversation usually starts the same way. A homeowner in the 31401, 31404, or 31406 zip codes has watched a shingle roof age faster than expected. The combination of summer heat, heavy rain days, and Savannah’s very heavy termite pressure wears at traditional roofing from multiple directions at once. By the time the roof shows visible problems, the underlying decking has often taken damage too.

About 56.5 percent of Savannah households own their home, and for most of those families the house is the largest investment they will ever make. A roof that carries a 40-year manufacturer warranty is a fundamentally different proposition than one that needs to be replaced on a 15- to 20-year cycle. That is the math that drives most of our Savannah consultations.

Homeowners in nearby communities like Thunderbolt (about 4 miles out), Garden City, Whitemarsh Island, and Isle of Hope call us for the same reasons. The climate does not change much across those few miles, and neither does our approach to the job.

Choosing the right metal roofing system for your home

We offer two primary systems, and the right choice depends on your roof pitch, your budget, and what you want the finished product to look like.

• Exposed-fastener metal roofing uses Grade 1 Galvalume coated steel panels installed with lifetime screws. The Galvalume substrate is certified by the Metal Construction Association and protected by an aluminum, zinc, and silicone anti-corrosion coating. It is the workhorse option and the one we have installed on hundreds of homes across southeast Georgia.
• Standing seam metal roofing hides the fasteners entirely inside raised seams, which eliminates the most common point of water intrusion on any metal roof. It costs more upfront, but many homeowners in Savannah’s older neighborhoods, where the median home was built around 1984, find the cleaner profile worth the investment.

Both systems come in a wide range of colors, and both qualify for the full 40-year manufacturer warranty. We will walk through the options with you during your free in-home estimate so you can see samples and compare before making any decision.

How our installation process actually works

Every job starts with a thorough inspection of your existing roof deck. We need to know the condition of the decking before we talk about what goes on top of it. If there is rot or structural damage, we address that first. We do not cover up problems.

Once the deck is sound, we install the appropriate underlayment for your system, then run the metal panels or standing seam sections from the eave up. Our crews use lifetime screws on exposed-fastener systems, which means the fasteners are rated to outlast the panels themselves. Trim work, ridge caps, and flashing are all completed by the same crew that laid the panels.

All of our installation crews are Eicher’s Pro Vinyl employees. We do not hand your project to a subcontractor. That matters because our 5-year workmanship warranty is only as good as our ability to stand behind the work, and we can only do that when our own people do the job. Homeowners in Talahi Island, Dutch Island, and the Port Wentworth area have the same crew access as anyone in the city itself.

When the job is done, we walk the roof with you, go over the warranty documentation, and make sure you know exactly who to call if you ever have a question.

Why Galvalume steel holds up in Chatham County's climate

Savannah sits about 63 miles from the coast, close enough that salt air is a real factor in how materials age. Chatham County also carries a moderate hurricane exposure rating, and the area regularly sees wind gusts in the 46 mph range even outside of storm season. Standard shingles are rated for far less than that. Our Grade 1 Galvalume metal roofing meets the toughest wind, fire, and impact codes in the country.

The aluminum-zinc-silicone coating on the Galvalume substrate is specifically engineered to resist the kind of corrosion that coastal humidity accelerates. Combine that with the fact that metal does not absorb moisture the way organic shingles do, and you have a roofing material that is genuinely suited to southeast Georgia rather than just adequate for it.

Metal roofing is also a green building material. It is recyclable at the end of its service life, and its reflective surface reduces heat gain through the roof deck, which matters in a city that logs roughly 2,690 cooling degree days per year. Lower attic temperatures generally mean lower summer energy bills.

Financing and discounts that make the decision easier

A metal roof is a long-term investment, and the upfront cost is higher than a shingle replacement. We offer 100 percent financing with no money down, available in 5-, 7-, and 10-year terms, plus a 1-year same-as-cash option for homeowners who want to pay it off quickly without interest. You do not need to drain savings or delay the project waiting to accumulate the full amount.

We also offer discounts for military families and senior citizens. If you are not sure which financing term fits your situation, we can go over the numbers during your estimate. There is no sales pressure and no obligation.
