FAQs
How long does a traditional shingle roof typically last in Charleston?
On average, a well-maintained asphalt shingle roof can last between 20 and 25 years. However, Charleston’s humid climate and occasional severe storms might accelerate wear and tear. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the lifespan.
Are traditional shingle roofs suitable for the Charleston climate?
Yes, asphalt shingles are a popular choice in Charleston because they perform well in warm, humid conditions. They’re also effective in shedding rainwater during the city’s heavy downpours. It’s important to choose high-quality shingles that are specifically rated to withstand the area’s wind and moisture conditions.
What maintenance does a shingle roof require?
Maintenance typically includes clearing debris (like leaves and branches), checking for loose or missing shingles, and ensuring gutters and downspouts are clear. Annual or biannual inspections by a professional are recommended to identify and address minor issues before they become major problems.
Do I need a permit to replace or install a shingle roof in Charleston?
In most cases, a roofing permit is required for new roof installations or major roof replacements. However, the exact requirements can vary depending on local regulations. It’s best to consult with our team or check with Charleston’s building department to ensure compliance with permit requirements.
How long does it take to install a traditional shingle roof?
Installation time depends on the roof’s size, pitch, and condition, but a typical shingle roof replacement usually takes a few days to complete. Factors like weather conditions and unexpected roof deck repairs can add time to the project. Our team will provide an accurate timeline during the initial inspection.
How can I tell if my shingle roof needs repair or replacement?
Look for signs such as curled, cracked, or missing shingles, as well as unexplained leaks or water stains inside the home. If your roof is more than 20 years old, it’s wise to schedule a professional inspection to determine whether repairs or a complete replacement would be more cost-effective in the long run.
