Metal vs. Shingles: The Savannah Standard
Why Savannah homeowners are upgrading to metal for the long haul.
The Long Game: Roof Lifespan Comparison
See how metal roofing pays for itself over time by outlasting traditional shingles two or three times over.
Over a 50-year period, you'd replace a 3-Tab shingle roof 2-3 times, costing more in total than a single metal roof installation.
Savannah Metal Roofing: Myth vs. Fact
Let's debunk the most common misconceptions about metal roofing.
"Metal roofs are loud in the rain."
With modern underlayment and proper attic insulation, metal roofs are no louder than asphalt. Many homeowners find the sound soothing.

"Metal roofs attract lightning."
Metal is no more likely to be struck by lightning than any other roofing material. If it is struck, it disperses the energy safely and won't catch fire.

"Metal roofs rust."
Modern metal roofing uses Galvalume steel, aluminum, or zinc coatings with advanced paint finishes (like Kynar 500) that are designed to resist rust for 40+ years, especially crucial for coastal areas.

"Metal roofs are too expensive."

Marine Grade Protection
Standard metal roofs rust on Tybee Island and coastal communities. Why? Because most contractors use galvanized clips and screws that react with salt air.

Metal Roofing Questions — Savannah GA
Get answers to the most common questions Savannah homeowners ask about metal roofing.
How much does a metal roof cost in Savannah, Georgia?
A metal roof in Savannah typically costs $12,000–$25,000 for a standard 2,000 sq ft home. Standing seam metal ranges from $8–$14 per square foot installed, while stone-coated steel runs $7–$12 per square foot. Costs vary based on roof complexity, pitch, and whether you choose aluminum (best for coastal salt exposure) or Galvalume steel. Talya Roofing provides free, itemized metal roofing estimates with no hidden fees.
Is a metal roof worth it in Savannah, Georgia?
Yes — metal roofing is one of the best investments for Savannah homeowners. The 40–70 year lifespan means you'll never re-roof again. You'll save 20–30% on cooling bills thanks to solar reflectance, and many insurers offer 10–35% premium discounts for metal roofs in coastal hurricane zones. Over a 50-year period, a metal roof costs less than replacing asphalt shingles 2–3 times. It's especially worth it if you plan to stay in your home long-term.
What are the pros and cons of metal roofing in humid climates like Savannah?
Pros: Metal is impervious to the algae and moss that thrive in Savannah's humidity, it won't rot or absorb moisture, and it reflects heat to reduce cooling costs. It also resists 140+ mph winds during hurricanes. Cons: Higher upfront cost ($12k–$25k vs. $8k–$15k for shingles), and coastal salt air can corrode standard fasteners — which is why Talya Roofing exclusively uses 316 Marine-Grade Stainless Steel clips for all coastal installations.
How long does a metal roof last in coastal Georgia?
A properly installed metal roof lasts 40–70 years in coastal Georgia. Standing seam metal with concealed fasteners lasts the longest because there are no exposed screws to corrode. The key to longevity on the coast is using the right materials: Galvalume or aluminum panels, Kynar 500 paint finishes, and marine-grade stainless steel fasteners. Standard galvanized clips can rust within 3 years in salt-air environments like Tybee Island or Wilmington Island.
