This is the Tybee Island page for flat & low-slope roofing. The short version: you want a quote for a flat or low-pitch section that shingle roofers keep declining, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteThe hurricane deductible is a percentage of dwelling coverage, not a flat amount, so a coastal claim needs to clear a much higher bar than an inland wind claim. A sealed roof deck — peel-and-stick underlayment over every seam — earns secondary water resistance credit on the wind mitigation form and is worth asking for by name. Lower pitches on mid-century homes rule out some products and make ice-and-water shield in the valleys non-negotiable.
What it costs in Tybee Island: priced per square like any roof but with a wider spread; TPO and modified bitumen are the common systems, and a silicone coating over a sound existing membrane is the lowest-cost path when it qualifies.
Georgia doesn't issue a roofing-specific license — most roofing falls under the state's Residential-Basic or General Contractor license once a job crosses the state's licensing threshold. We check that license, insurance, and standing with the state board before a roofer ever sees a lead.
How it works
Not every residential roofer. Ask specifically whether the crew installs low-slope membrane or subs it. The tie-in between the flat section and the pitched roof is where leaks start.
TPO is a heat-welded single-ply, white, and reflective — good in Florida and Texas heat. Modified bitumen is torch- or self-adhered asphalt, more forgiving on complex details. Both are fine when installed right.

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