Frequently Asked Questions

Full roof replacements generally require a permit, and requirements vary by jurisdiction. We handle permitting for the jobs we install.

Yes. Overhanging branches can rub against shingles, fallen limbs can cause direct damage, and heavy tree coverage can contribute to debris buildup in roof valleys and gutters.

It comes down to linear footage, the number of stories, downspout runs, and whether you want guards — worth considering with this much pine debris around. We price it in writing after assessing the house.

Yes — we work within roughly 40 miles of Charleston, including Summerville and the surrounding communities.

Every few years is a reasonable starting point for most homeowners, with more frequent inspections for older roofs or homes with heavy tree coverage. It’s also smart to have the roof checked after a major storm or when you notice a leak, missing shingle, or other change.

Sometimes. We examine the existing repairs, the surrounding roof, and the reason the area keeps failing. If another repair is practical, we’ll explain what needs to be done. If repeated repairs are no longer making sense, we’ll tell you that, too.

It depends on the age and overall condition of the roof, how widespread the damage is, and whether problems extend into the decking or other underlying areas. Our roofers inspect those factors before recommending repair or replacement.

Yes. A pre-purchase roof inspection can identify existing damage, signs of previous repairs, and how much useful life the roof may have left. That can give you a better idea of potential roofing costs before you close.

Don’t get on the roof while it’s wet or windy. If it’s safe, contain the water inside and move furniture or belongings out of the area. Once the weather clears, have the roof inspected to find the source of the leak and determine what needs to be repaired.

A quality asphalt shingle roof can last roughly 15 to 25+ years, although local weather, tree cover, ventilation, roof installation quality, and maintenance can affect its lifespan.
