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 the same day.
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 contract negotiation, 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 a measuring job as much as a condition check. 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.
