What Does a New Roof Cost in Savannah?

Savannah roof replacement cost at a glance

Most homeowners in Savannah pay $8,000 to $16,000 for a new roof. Architectural shingle roofs on average-size homes often land between about $11,200 and $17,100. The biggest factors are roof size, pitch, material and what's under the old shingles.

Cost by roof size

Estimates assume $500 to $700 per installed square, consistent with published Savannah cost ranges. Steep pitch, multiple layers, decking repairs and complex roof lines raise the price.

What changes the price

• Size: measured in squares (100 sq ft of roof each)
• Pitch and complexity: steep roofs, dormers and valleys need more labor and safety equipment
• Layers: each extra layer of old shingles adds tear-off and disposal cost
• Decking: rotted boards are replaced at a per-sheet price
• Material: metal and specialty roofs cost more than architectural shingles
• Permit: typically a few hundred dollars in the Savannah area

Roof repair costs

Most repairs cost a few hundred dollars up to about $1,500. Pipe boots and a few shingles are at the low end; flashing rebuilds and decking repairs at the high end.

Ways to lower the cost

• Repair early, before leaks reach the decking
• Use the $500 voucher on an out-of-pocket replacement
• Spread payments with financing, subject to credit approval
