What a repair looks like on Isle of Palms roofs.
On Isle of Palms, repair calls come from corroded fasteners lifting shingles on the oceanfront rows of Front Beach and Palm Boulevard, rusted flashing at rooftop deck penetrations on elevated 1980s beach houses, and wind-lifted rakes on the Breach Inlet end after an ordinary nor'easter. We trace the leak from the stain to the entry point and replace what salt has eaten with stainless or aluminum.
For a short-term-rental owner, a repair between guest turnovers matters more than a repair on a schedule. We photograph the roof before and after and send the report to the owner and the property manager, and we tell you in writing whether a twelve-year-old shingle roof in salt air is worth patching or whether the published High Wind or Pearl price is the cheaper decision over the next five rental seasons.
Inside Wild Dunes, a repair is coordinated with the security gate and, when it is visible from the street or the course, with the ARB's color record, so a repaired slope on a Wild Dunes home or villa matches the approved palette. On the villa regimes at Ocean Club, Beach Club and Mariners Walk, the roof belongs to the building, and the repair is reported to the regime as well as the owner.
Fastener corrosion is the Isle of Palms repair that inland roofers miss. The shingle looks fine, but the galvanized nails under it have rusted thin and the tabs lift in an ordinary onshore wind. On a Palm Boulevard or Forest Trail house we check the fasteners on the windward slope while we are up there, and resecure with stainless before the next blow finds them.
1970s to 1990s elevated wood-frame beach houses on pilings along Palm Boulevard, Forest Trail and the numbered avenues, many with low-slope sections and rooftop decks; 1980s to 2000s Wild Dunes homes and villa regimes with steeper hips, metal accents and stucco or shingle siding; 1960s and 1970s cottages on the Breach Inlet end and the interior lots between 41st and 57th Avenue; Intracoastal-side homes along Waterway Boulevard with dock-facing exposure. Heavy second-home and short-term-rental ownership, so many decisions are made by an owner who is not on the island.
