Every home in Charleston has different needs—historic downtown houses, coastal properties, and suburban neighborhoods all require tailored solutions. We offer a full range of roofing systems:

Asphalt Shingle Roofs

Available in 3-tab, architectural, and designer options, asphalt shingles are a versatile and cost-effective choice for many Charleston homes.

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.

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:

  • Replacing shingles lost to high winds or storms
  • Fixing leaks around chimneys, skylights, and flashing
  • Emergency tarping and temporary repairs after hurricanes
  • Restoring hail- or tree-damaged roofing
  • Preventive inspections and maintenance for long-term durability

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.
