Get a written quoteAerial measurement plus a five-minute history of the house beats a drive-by estimate in an area this varied. Real estate activity drives a lot of the roofing here — pre-listing inspections, buyer credits, and insurance-driven replacements right after closing. Salt air corrodes fasteners and drip edge years before shingles look worn, so coastal roofs often fail from the metal out.
On cost: uses your regular flat deductible, which is why many Florida homeowners with real damage from a tropical storm or squall line come out much better than under the hurricane deductible.
Coastal counties (Chatham, Bryan, Effingham) carry separate named-storm and hurricane deductibles, similar in concept to Florida's, that only apply once the National Hurricane Center issues a watch or warning for the area.

In Florida, carriers can't surcharge for a single claim from a declared event, but claims history does affect your ability to shop for coverage. In Texas, it varies by carrier.
Creased or folded shingles that have lost their seal, lifted tabs, missing shingles, and ridge cap damage — concentrated on the side the wind came from. Uniform wear on all slopes is age, not wind.

Savannah is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
