What a free inspection looks like on Mount Pleasant roofs.
A free inspection makes the most sense in Mount Pleasant right before hurricane season and right after any named storm. We walk the roof, photograph every slope, re-seal exposed fasteners and hand you a written report within 24 hours.
If you are buying in Park West, Dunes West or Carolina Park, builder-grade roofs from the 2000s are hitting end of life, and our report tells you what you are buying. In Old Village and Snee Farm it also tells you whether the decking under the shingle has years left.
A Mount Pleasant inspection spends its time on the harbor side. East-facing slopes in Old Village, along Shem Creek and on the Belle Hall waterfront take salt and wind the interior of the town never sees, and the fastener lines and flashing there tell you how much life the roof has left. We photograph every slope, probe the eaves on the salt side, and check the attic for the staining that says a valley has already started.
Because our office is in Mount Pleasant, a Park West or Carolina Park homeowner can get on the schedule within 48 hours, and an Old Village or I'On owner gets a photo set that doubles as the baseline for the design review submission when the roof is eventually replaced. The report is free, with no sales visit attached. If the roof has years left, that is what it says.
1950s Old Village cottages and ranches, often on plank decking; 1980s to 1990s Snee Farm and Hobcaw on their second or third shingle cycle; 2000s to 2020s Park West, Dunes West, Carolina Park and Rivertowne two-stories with builder-grade architectural shingle, moderate pitch, and standing seam growing along the waterfront.
Headquartered in Mount Pleasant. Snee Farm is ten minutes from our office and Carolina Park is fifteen, so a second look after a storm is a short drive.

What is included in every Mount Pleasant job.
Asked in Mount Pleasant.
How much does a roof inspection cost in Mount Pleasant?
A Mount Pleasant roof inspection costs nothing. It covers a full roof walk, photos of every slope and penetration, exposed fasteners re-sealed, debris cleared from the valleys, and a written condition report within 24 hours with a repair or replace recommendation. Our office is in town. The visit spends its time on the harbor side, because salt and wind age the east-facing slopes in Old Village, along Shem Creek and on the Belle Hall waterfront faster than the rest of the house, and those slopes decide what any later work costs.
Who issues the roofing permit for a house in Mount Pleasant?
Inside town limits, the Town of Mount Pleasant's Building Inspection Division issues the re-roof permit and inspects the work, not Charleston County. Permits are applied for through the Town's online permitting system. We file the permit under your order and schedule the inspections. If your house is in the Old Village or I'On, the design review step comes first and we prepare that submission too.
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.
