Roof Inspection in Charleston

A peninsula inspection is a documentation job as much as a roof job. On a South of Broad or Ansonborough single house we photograph the existing metal profile, seams, valley pans and piazza roof so you have a record of the roof as it stands for any future BAR submission. The written report comes the same day.

Buying in Wagener Terrace, Hampton Park Terrace or North Central? Hip roofs from the 1920s to 1960s hide plank decking, old ventilation and layered shingle under a clean-looking surface. Our inspection tells you which shingle cycle the roof is on and what it will cost to replace, with the number pulled from the same ladder shown on this page.

On slate and terne roofs South of Broad and in Ansonborough, walking the roof damages it, so the peninsula inspection uses a drone for the field and a ladder only where the metal or the valley pans can bear it. The photo set records every seam, pan and piazza roof at a resolution a future BAR submission can use, and the report separates what is failing from what is simply old, which on a hundred-year roof is most of it.

Many peninsula policies now ask for a roof inspection at renewal, and an old roof insured at actual cash value is worth knowing about before the carrier decides for you. Our report gives the carrier what it asks for, age, material and condition by slope with dated photos, and gives you a plain answer on whether the roof has years left or whether the published metal price is the better plan.

Based in Mount Pleasant, about fifteen minutes over the Ravenel Bridge from the peninsula, so crews dispatch to Charleston without a highway day in between.
