What a repair looks like on Charleston roofs.
On the peninsula, repair calls come from standing seam and terne roofs on South of Broad and Ansonborough single houses: a failed seam, a rusted valley pan, a piazza roof that ponds. We resolder or replace the affected pans and match the existing profile, which keeps a repair from turning into a BAR question of its own.
On Wagener Terrace and Hampton Park Terrace bungalows, hip-to-dormer intersections and cracked pipe boots are where water gets in, and Charleston's afternoon storms find them fast. We trace the leak from the stain to the entry point, repair the flashing with aluminum rather than galvanized, and write down what we did.
Repairs on the peninsula are quoted online the same way replacements are: a fixed written price before anyone climbs a ladder, and a scheduling note if a street permit is needed for the lift.
Access is half of a peninsula repair. A single house on a Harleston Village or Cannonborough lot has a piazza on one side and a neighbor's wall on the other, so a two-story valley repair may need a lift staged in the street and a City encroachment permit for the day. We plan that before the visit, and the written price includes it, so a small leak does not turn into a surprise on the day of the work.

What is included in every Charleston job.
Asked in Charleston.
How much does roof repair cost in Charleston?
Most Lowcountry repairs run $350 to $1,800 depending on access, pitch, and how many areas need work. You get a written number after the free inspection, before any work starts.
Can you repair a roof that is 20 years old?
Often, yes, if the shingles still seal and the decking is sound. We tell you honestly when a repair is buying months rather than years.
How fast can you come out?
Within 48 hours for most repairs, sooner after a storm when water is coming in.
Do repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. One year on the repaired area, in writing.
Will you match my shingles?
We stock and source the common Lowcountry profiles and colors. On discontinued products we find the closest match and show you before installing.
