What standing seam metal looks like on Walterboro roofs.
Metal is the original roof on Walterboro's Historic District. Hampton Street and Wichman Street homes still carry painted 5V and standing seam that dates to the early 1900s, and the replacement for a worn porch roof or a whole historic house is new standing seam in a profile and color submitted for district review. The Pearl Metal is the one standing seam package on the ladder and it is the right tool for that one job in town.
The other Walterboro metal is agricultural: the barns, sheds and pole buildings on rural lots off Sniders Highway and Bells Highway, and the manufactured homes with metal roof-overs. We quote residential standing seam for the house and a straight exposed-fastener panel for the outbuilding, priced separately in the written estimate from your photos.
Inland by an hour, Walterboro gets the steel option. A 24 or 26 gauge standing seam steel panel costs less than the aluminum we spec near salt water and is the right material for a Forest Hills or Ireland Creek ranch whose owner wants to buy one more roof and be done. A light or medium color also reflects the Colleton County summer heat off a low attic, and the panel sheds the pecan and pine debris that packs a shingle valley on the older streets.
The Historic District porch is a specific job. The low-slope wraparound porches on Hampton Street and Wichman Street were built for metal and have been leaking under paint for decades; a new mechanically seamed panel on the porch alone, in a color cleared with the City for the district, often solves the house's only real leak without touching the steep main roof. We price the porch section on its own so a homeowner is not sold a whole roof to fix a porch.
1900s to 1930s historic homes on Hampton Street and Wichman Street with steep main roofs, low-slope wraparound porches and painted 5V or standing seam metal; 1950s to 1980s brick and frame ranches in Forest Hills, Ireland Creek and around the Country Club with long low-pitch runs and carports; 1990s and 2000s homes around Colleton Preparatory; rural lots off Bells Highway, Sniders Highway and toward the Great Swamp with houses, manufactured homes and metal barns and sheds.
Sixty minutes from Mount Pleasant out Highway 17 and Highway 64 or down Interstate 95 to the Bells Highway exit, the longest run on our map, so Walterboro jobs are scheduled from your photos and grouped with Hollywood, Ravenel and Summerville dispatches.

What is included in every Walterboro job.
Asked in Walterboro.
How much does metal roofing cost in Walterboro?
The Pearl standing-seam package starts at $52,650 for a typical 1,800 square foot Walterboro home, the same price whether you pay cash or finance. Complex roofs and premium colors run higher.
What roofing materials are approved in the Walterboro Historic District?
The City of Walterboro's approved materials list allows architectural asphalt or fiberglass shingles, standing seam metal, copper, wood shakes and slate on both historic and non-historic buildings in the district. High-quality 5V crimp metal is approved only for non-historic buildings, new construction, additions and accessory buildings. So swapping an old roof for 5V on a contributing historic house is not on the list. We confirm with the City whether your house is classed as historic and build the approval into the order.
Is metal loud in the rain?
Not over a solid deck with underlayment. It sounds the same as a shingle roof from inside.
Aluminum or steel?
Aluminum on the coast. Inland, 24 or 26 gauge standing-seam steel is a sound, lower-cost option. We spec by exposure.
Will an HOA approve metal?
Most Lowcountry communities approve standing seam in approved colors. We handle the submission.
How long does metal last?
Fifty years and up. A manufacturer warranty is registered on every Pearl roof, on top of our 50-year workmanship warranty.
