Savannah-Specific Considerations
Missing shingles in Savannah are rarely an isolated issue. Our combination of frequent thunderstorms (averaging 60+ per year) and sustained coastal winds means that if one shingle blew off, neighboring shingles likely have compromised seal strips too.
Insurance tip: If you lost shingles during a named storm or documented wind event, don't just replace them — file an insurance claim first. Georgia homeowners have up to 1 year from the date of loss to file. We can help document the damage before any repairs are made.
DIY vs Professional: Cost Comparison
Matching challenge: Savannah's intense UV fades shingle colors significantly within 2-3 years. Even "matching" replacement shingles from the same manufacturer will look noticeably different. This is cosmetic and normal — the color difference fades somewhat over 6-12 months of weathering.
