Hurricane FAQ

When is hurricane season in Coastal Georgia?

Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. Peak activity is August through October. Savannah and the Georgia coast are in a moderate-to-high risk zone for tropical storms and hurricanes.

What wind speed can my roof handle?

Standard 3-tab shingles: 60-70 mph. Architectural shingles: 110-130 mph. GAF with WindProven: unlimited. Standing seam metal: 140+ mph. If your roof was installed before 2010, it may not meet current hurricane building codes.

Does insurance cover hurricane roof damage?

Yes, most homeowners insurance covers wind and storm damage. However, many coastal policies have separate wind/hurricane deductibles (often 2-5% of home value). We help document damage and navigate the claims process.

What should I do if my roof is damaged during a hurricane?

Stay safe — never climb on a damaged roof. Cover belongings inside if water is entering. Document damage with photos. Call your insurance within 24 hours. Call Talya Roofing for emergency tarping at (912) 999-7989 — we respond 24/7 during storms.
