Roofs & Repairs
Roofing Questions
Quality architectural shingles installed with proper ventilation and flashing typically last 25 to 30 years in the Lowcountry climate. Factors like storm exposure, attic ventilation, and annual maintenance significantly influence longevity.
We consider the roof's age, the extent and location of the damage, the number of shingle layers already present, and whether the underlying decking is sound. If your roof is under 15 years old and damage is isolated, a repair is often the right answer. We will always give you an honest recommendation rather than default to the more expensive option.
Most residential replacements are completed in one to two days. Larger homes, complex roof shapes, or material lead times can extend the timeline, but we keep you informed at every stage.
Storm Damage & Claims
Insurance Questions
Most standard policies cover sudden damage from wind, hail, and falling objects. Gradual deterioration and deferred maintenance are typically excluded. We help document the damage thoroughly to support your claim.
Call us first. We will inspect the damage and tell you whether it is worth filing a claim before you alert your carrier. Unnecessary claims can raise your premiums, so getting an expert opinion before you call is almost always the right move.
It can, depending on your carrier, your claims history, and your state. This is why we recommend a professional inspection first. If the repair cost is close to your deductible, we may advise against filing at all.
Beyond the Roof
Exterior Services Questions
Absolutely. Bundling exterior projects is often the most cost-effective approach because our crew is already mobilized. We coordinate all trades in-house so the sequencing is handled correctly and your home is protected throughout.
Look for sagging sections, visible rust or holes, peeling paint on fascia boards, and standing water pooling near your foundation. Gutters that consistently overflow during moderate rain are undersized and should be upgraded.
Fiber cement siding — such as James Hardie — is the top choice for our climate. It resists moisture, insects, and the humidity cycles common in coastal South Carolina and Georgia. High-grade vinyl is a strong budget-friendly alternative that also performs well in the region.
