What a free inspection looks like on Hanahan roofs.
If your Otranto or Berkeley Hills ranch has not had anyone on the roof since its 1990s re-roof, book the free inspection. We walk every slope, photograph it, probe the decking at the eaves where the pine straw sits, and hand you a written grade within 24 hours.
If you are buying in Tanner Plantation, Eagle Landing or Ibis Glade, those 2000s roofs are close enough to the end of their first life that the report belongs in the price you offer, and it flags whether the builder's flashing and ventilation were done right. In the Yeamans Hall area, the inspection maps a complex roof so the design submission is accurate before you order.
A Hanahan inspection on a low-pitch ranch goes to the valleys and the eaves first, because that is where pine straw has held water for thirty years. We probe the decking through the shingle at the eave line, photograph the valleys after clearing them, and check the attic for the darkened sheathing that tells you the ventilation has been starved since the house was built. The report says which sections are sound and which are on borrowed time.
Around the Yeamans Hall club grounds the inspection is also a measuring job. Complex hips, dormers, skylights and multiple valleys mean a quote guessed from the driveway is wrong by thousands, so we map every plane and penetration, note which sections the club's design standards will review, and hand you a report a written estimate can be built from without a second visit.
1960s to 1980s brick ranches with low pitch and long single-story runs in Otranto, Berkeley Hills and Dominion Hills, most on a second or third three-tab or architectural shingle; 1950s and 1960s cottages and ranches in Old Hanahan near Yeamans Hall Road; 2000s to 2010s two-story builder-grade vinyl and hardboard homes in Tanner Plantation, Eagle Landing and Ibis Glade arriving at a first replacement; larger custom homes around the Yeamans Hall club grounds with complex hips and dormers.
Twenty-five minutes from Mount Pleasant up Interstate 526 to the North Rhett exit, with Goose Creek and North Charleston on the same dispatch run through the Berkeley corridor.

What is included in every Hanahan job.
Asked in Hanahan.
How much does a roof inspection cost in Hanahan?
A Hanahan roof inspection costs nothing. The visit includes a full walk, photos of every slope and penetration, exposed fasteners re-sealed and pine straw cleared from the valleys, and the written condition report arrives within 24 hours with a repair or replace recommendation. On low-pitch Otranto and Berkeley Hills ranches the report probes eave decking where pine straw has held water for thirty years, and around the Yeamans Hall club grounds it maps every plane so an estimate can be written without a second visit.
Does a roof repair in Hanahan need a City permit?
It depends on the scope. Inside city limits, the City of Hanahan's Building and Codes department permits building construction, reconstruction, alteration and repairs, and it publishes a list of work exempt from permits. A small repair may fall on that list; a full replacement should be expected to need a permit. We check your scope against the City's exempt-work list before the order is written and file the permit when one is needed.
How long does it take?
About 45 minutes on site. The report arrives within 24 hours.
Do I need to be home?
No, as long as we have permission to access the property. We walk the results with you by phone or in person.
Can I use the report for insurance?
Yes. The report is yours, with dated photos of every slope, to share with your insurer, your agent or a buyer.
How often should a roof be inspected?
Once a year in the Lowcountry, and after any named storm.
