Commercial General Contractor in Savannah, GA.

Savannah covers a lot of different building stock in a small footprint, and where a project sits changes how we approach it. Downtown and the Historic District run tin, slate, and low-slope built-up roofs on buildings that predate any modern code, tight lot lines, and no staging room — a re-roof or exterior repair there means small crews, careful material staging, and coordination with the city's historic review process before a shingle or panel moves.

Out from downtown, Southside along Abercorn Street and the Highway 80 corridor is strip retail, medical office, and freestanding commercial — flat and low-slope roofs, tenant build-outs, parking lot and storefront work. West of town, Pooler and the I-95/Highway 80 interchange are Savannah's logistics engine: big-box distribution, tilt-up warehouse, and flex industrial built around the Georgia Ports Authority traffic. Port Wentworth and Garden City sit right against the port itself, and Richmond Hill to the south is the fastest-growing commercial corridor in the metro. We work all of it — port-adjacent industrial, Southside retail, and downtown historic — from our Atlanta office with crews and vetted subs who travel to the coast.

The port drives a lot of the roofing and general contracting work we see out of Savannah: single-ply TPO and EPDM roof systems on distribution and warehouse buildings around Pooler, Port Wentworth, and Garden City, plus the general contracting that goes with standing up or reconfiguring that kind of space — dock doors, warehouse lighting, office pods carved out of a shell. That's self-performed roofing work with GC-managed build-out around it.

Closer to town, it's tenant improvements and interior build-outs for retail and medical office along Abercorn and the Southside corridor — new tenant fit-outs, ADA upgrades, and the interior work that turns a vacant box into an operating business. Downtown and in the Historic District, it's roof repair and replacement on older commercial buildings where the roof system, the flashing details, and the visible-from-the-street materials all have to match what's already there. Chatham County and the City of Savannah also generate public works and municipal contracting opportunities, which is work we pursue the same way we do in metro Atlanta — bid the scope, staff it right, execute.

Integrity CRR self-performs roofing and manages build-outs, tenant improvements, public works, and other non-roof scopes through vetted subcontractors as the general contractor. The project proposal should identify the assigned lead, expected site coverage, proposed trade firms, relevant experience, and substitution process for work outside metro Atlanta.

Permitting runs through the City of Savannah's development services office for anything inside city limits, and through Chatham County for unincorporated work in Pooler, Port Wentworth, or Garden City. A project inside the Historic District adds a layer most Savannah contractors deal with routinely but out-of-town ones don't: exterior work — roofing included — can require review by the city's historic preservation staff before a permit issues, which affects timeline more than it affects scope. We build that review into the schedule up front rather than finding out about it mid-project.

Coastal Georgia can experience tropical systems, high wind, and wind-driven rain. Savannah's mix of older slate and metal roofs downtown and single-ply warehouse roofs west of town means observed conditions vary by building. A qualified inspection can document flashing, uplift, membrane, and drainage conditions that are not visible from the ground.

Our in-house estimating team writes roofing repair scopes in Xactimate, a widely used property-loss estimating platform. That means we write the claim scope in Xactimate, line by line, and can show exactly which items are missing or underpriced against the adjuster's estimate, instead of arguing in general terms. Once the carrier approves a claim, our in-house estimating team documents supported repair items and identifies supported differences from the initial estimate, including supported items that may be omitted from an initial carrier estimate, and if the approved estimate comes up short, we document supported differences and submit a contractor supplement request for carrier review. What the policy actually covers is between the property owner and the carrier — we're not a public adjuster and we don't negotiate the claim on your behalf, we scope it, document it, and build the repair.
