What a free inspection looks like on Moncks Corner roofs.
A free inspection in Moncks Corner is most useful on a 1970s or 1980s ranch in Fairlawn, along Old Whitesville Road or near the Berkeley Country Club that has not been looked at since its last re-roof. We walk the roof, photograph every slope, check the decking at the eaves under the pines and the tie-in at any carport or addition, and you get a written grade within 24 hours.
If you are buying in Foxbank, Spring Grove or Cypress Ridge, the report tells you whether the 2010s builder roof was flashed and vented right and how close it is to a first replacement, which belongs in the price you offer. On a Pinopolis lake house, the inspection maps the water-facing slope that takes the storm wind, so a High Wind quote is accurate before you order.
A Pinopolis or Lake Moultrie inspection reads the roof by exposure. The water-facing slope takes straight-line wind and afternoon sun that the street side never sees, the screened porch roof over the dock side is usually the oldest section on the house, and the metal on a boat shed or workshop has fasteners backing out. We grade each slope and each outbuilding on its own so a lake house owner knows which one needs attention first.
Book the inspection before June 1 and after any Lake Moultrie storm. The pre-season visit re-seals exposed fasteners at the ridge and the pipe boots, clears the pine straw from the valleys, confirms the water-facing slope on a Pinopolis house is fastened, and gives you dated photos of the roof in good condition. After a storm, those photos show your adjuster what the roof looked like before.
1970s to 1990s brick ranches and single-story frame homes in Fairlawn, along Old Whitesville Road and around the Berkeley Country Club, most on a second or third architectural shingle with original ridge vents; 1950s to 1970s cottages and bungalows in the historic downtown near Main Street; lake-side homes in Pinopolis and along Lake Moultrie from every era, many with screened porches and dock-facing exposure; 2010s two-story builder-grade homes in Foxbank Plantation, Spring Grove Plantation and Cypress Ridge still inside or just past a builder warranty; rural lots outside town with metal-roofed outbuildings and low-slope additions tied into a shingle main roof.
Forty-five minutes from Mount Pleasant up Interstate 26 and Highway 52 through Goose Creek, with Cane Bay and Goose Creek on the same dispatch run through the Berkeley corridor.

Asked in Moncks Corner.
How much does a roof inspection cost in Moncks Corner?
Moncks Corner roof inspections are free. In about 45 minutes we walk the roof, photograph every slope and penetration, re-seal exposed fasteners and clear the valleys, and the written condition report follows within 24 hours with a repair or replace recommendation. The report is yours either way. Pinopolis and Lake Moultrie houses are graded slope by slope, because the water-facing side takes straight-line wind the street side never sees, and on rural lots each carport, workshop and boat shed gets its own grade.
Who issues roofing permits in Moncks Corner?
Inside town limits, the Town of Moncks Corner's Building Department administers and enforces the adopted building codes and issues the permit. Outside the town line, the permit comes from Berkeley County Building and Codes, whose design criteria for plan submittals set a minimum of 133 mph wind, with interpolation allowed. The line is not obvious from the street, so we confirm your jurisdiction from the parcel and file with the right office.
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.
