Commercial Roofing in Savannah, GA
Headquartered just up the road in Richmond Hill, RPI Roofing has protected warehouses, schools, churches and retail across the Coastal Empire for 25+ years. Commercial only - built for the salt air.
Your Savannah roofing partner
When a commercial roof goes down in Savannah, you do not want a crew driving in from three states away. You want a contractor who is already here.
RPI Roofing - Roofing Professionals Inc. - has been a Coastal Empire fixture since 2000. From Richmond Hill we serve Savannah, Pooler, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Hinesville, Statesboro and the surrounding low-country. We work on flat and low-slope commercial buildings exclusively: distribution centers along the ports, big-box retail, school districts, healthcare campuses, churches and industrial plants.
That focus is the point. We are not splitting attention between residential re-roofs and your 200,000-square-foot warehouse. Commercial systems are all we install, all we service, and all we maintain - which is why facility managers across the region keep our number on the wall.

Why Savannah commercial roofs fail early
The Coastal Empire is one of the harshest roofing environments in the Southeast. Salt air, hurricane-season wind, brutal summer heat load and more than 50 inches of annual rain all work against a commercial membrane at the same time - and a system that was specified for an inland climate will not last here. The roofs we replace early almost always come down to the same few causes:
- Marine corrosion - salt-laden air degrades fasteners, edge metal, flashings and exposed panels years before they would fail inland, opening up entry points for water.
- Wind uplift damage - coastal Georgia sits in a high-wind zone, and under-detailed edge metal or attachment is the first thing a named storm peels back.
- Ponding and poor drainage - heavy low-country rain pools in low spots on flat roofs, accelerating membrane breakdown and overloading the deck.
- UV and thermal cycling - long, hot summers bake the membrane and expand and contract seams day after day until they split.
RPI Roofing specifies and installs for the conditions your building actually faces. Every system we put down on a Savannah, Pooler or Hinesville facility is detailed for the coast - not pulled off a generic spec sheet. See how we approach each of these failure points below, or browse our commercial roofing services.
Detailed for low-country conditions
Wind & Hurricane Uplift
Coastal Georgia sits in a high-wind zone. We detail edge metal, fastening patterns and membrane attachment to meet uplift requirements - so your roof stays put when the next named storm tracks up the coast.
Salt & Corrosion
Salt air eats fasteners, flashings and metal panels. We use corrosion-rated materials and detail penetrations and terminations to hold up in a marine environment, not a dry inland one.
Heat & UV Load
Reflective TPO/PVC and white roof coatings cut roof-surface temperatures and cooling bills through long Savannah summers - while protecting the membrane from UV breakdown over the life of the system.
Every flat-roof system, under one crew
Whatever your building has up top, we install it, service it and restore it. No residential work - just commercial roofing done right.
- Single-Ply TPO / PVC / EPDM - energy-efficient, low-slope membrane roofing, the workhorse for Savannah warehouses, retail and offices.
- Built-Up Roofing (BUR) - proven multi-ply, redundant protection for large commercial and industrial decks that need a heavy-duty system.
- Standing-Seam & Commercial Metal - durable, long-life metal roofing and panel systems for schools, churches and industrial facilities.
- Roof Coatings & Restoration - extend the service life of an aging roof and cut cooling costs, without the cost and downtime of a full tear-off.
- Repair & Leak Service - fast diagnosis and repair to stop active leaks before they damage inventory, equipment or interiors.
- Roof Guard Maintenance Program - scheduled inspections and proactive upkeep that protect your warranty and catch small issues before they become claims.
Standing Water & Drainage
Heavy low-country rain finds every low spot. We correct ponding with tapered insulation and proper drainage so water moves off the roof instead of sitting on it and shortening its life. Not sure which path your building needs? Request a free assessment and we will tell you straight whether a repair, restoration or full re-roof is the right call.
Close enough to show up fast
A leak over a production line or a stocked warehouse is a clock running against you. Because our home base is right here in Richmond Hill, our Savannah service crews are not hours away - they are local, and they move.
Call our Coastal Empire line and you reach the team that already knows your market, your building codes and your weather. We assess fast, stop the leak, and put a clear repair-or-replace plan in front of you - no guesswork, no out-of-town runaround.
