Roof Repairs & Storm Damage in Charleston
From hurricanes to hailstorms, Charleston roofs see their share of damage. Our repair crews respond quickly to protect your home and restore your roof.
Common Repairs Include:

- Emergency tarping and temporary repairs after hurricanes

We’ll always provide an honest assessment—whether a repair will keep your roof sound or if a full replacement is the better long-term investment.
Why Charleston Roofs Require Specialized Installation
Charleston’s weather patterns put roofs under constant stress. That’s why we install not just shingles, but full systems designed for strength and longevity.
Self-sealing membranes guard valleys and edges against wind-driven rain and storm surge conditions.
More resilient than traditional felt, synthetic underlayment helps resist water penetration during extended rainfall.
Properly installed drip edges guide water off the roof and away from fascia and siding—critical in Charleston’s frequent downpours.
We use premium flashings at chimneys, skylights, and wall transitions, sealed against wind uplift and moisture intrusion.
Balanced attic ventilation reduces heat buildup in summer and protects roof structure from excess moisture in Charleston’s humid environment.
Charleston Gutter Installation & Protection
Charleston’s rainfall puts more demand on gutters than most places. Undersized or failing systems overflow, driving water against your foundation, fascia, and soffits. This causes roof damage over time.
We install seamless aluminum and copper gutters custom-fabricated on-site, sized for Lowcountry rain volumes. For homeowners who want zero maintenance, we offer the RainDrop gutter guard system. This patented design sheds leaves and pine straw while keeping water flowing where it should.
