What a free inspection looks like on Ladson roofs.
A free inspection in Ladson is most useful on a 1970s or 1980s ranch in College Park, Tranquil Acres or Ladson Woods that has not been looked at since its last re-roof. We walk the roof, photograph every slope, check the decking in the pine-straw valleys and at the eaves, and the written grade reaches you within 24 hours.
For a buyer in Summer Park, Coosaw Preserve or Hunters Bend, the report tells you whether the 1990s or 2000s roof has years left or belongs in the price you offer, and it tells you which county your parcel permits through, which matters the day you need a roof permit in Ladson.
Trees are half of a Ladson inspection. College Park, Tranquil Acres and Ladson Woods were cut out of loblolly pine, and the report maps which limbs overhang which slopes, which pines lean toward the house, and where straw is damming a valley. That gives you a trimming list for before storm season and a photo record that a limb strike in August was a storm event, not neglect.
The inspection is scheduled from your request, with no door knock and no sales visit. You get the slope-by-slope photos and a written grade whether or not you ever buy anything from us, and if a Hunters Bend or Lieben Park roof has years left, the report says so. The file is yours to hand to another contractor, an insurer or a buyer.
1970s and 1980s brick and vinyl ranches and split-levels in College Park, Tranquil Acres and the older Ladson Woods streets, low pitch, long single-story runs, many on their second or third shingle; 1990s two-stories in Hunters Bend and Lieben Park with original ventilation; 2000s and 2010s builder-grade architectural shingle in Summer Park, Coosaw Preserve and Palmetto Commons, arriving at a first replacement; Windsor Hill on the North Charleston side shares the same 1980s to 2000s pattern.
Thirty-five minutes from Mount Pleasant up I-526 and I-26 to the College Park Road exit, with Summerville and Goose Creek on the same dispatch run along Highway 78.

What is included in every Ladson job.
Asked in Ladson.
How much does a roof inspection cost in Ladson?
Ladson roof inspections cost nothing, and nobody knocks on your door to sell one. We walk the roof, photograph every slope and penetration, re-seal exposed fasteners and clear pine straw from the valleys, and a written condition report follows within 24 hours with a repair or replace recommendation. The report also tells you which of Berkeley, Charleston or Dorchester County your parcel permits through, which matters the day a College Park or Summer Park roof needs a permit.
Which building department permits a roof replacement in Ladson?
It depends on which county your parcel is in. Charleston County Building Inspection Services permits the unincorporated Charleston County side, Berkeley County Building and Codes the Berkeley side, and Dorchester County Building Services the Dorchester side. Berkeley County's permit forms include an asphalt shingle re-roofing affidavit. We look up your parcel before the order is written and pull the permit from the right county.
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.
