What a repair looks like on Johns Island roofs.
On Johns Island, repair calls come from oak-limb punctures and moss-lifted shingles on the older ranches off Brownswood and River Road, and flashing failures where a carport, a screened porch or a low-slope addition ties into the main roof. We trace the leak from the stain to the entry point and fix the cause.
In Stonoview, Whitney Lake or Fenwick Hall, a 2000s roof that is leaking at a pipe boot or a valley is usually worth repairing because the shingle has years left, and we say so in writing. If the granules are already loose across the south slope, we tell you plainly whether a first-cycle replacement on the published ladder is the cheaper decision over five years.
Whether a Johns Island repair needs a permit, and from whom, depends on the parcel: Maybank Highway subdivisions generally sit inside the City of Charleston, and the rural lots off Brownswood, Grimball and Cane Slash sit in the county. We confirm that from the address before the visit, and we bring the right shingle color for Stonoview, Fenwick Hall and Whitney Lake so a repaired slope does not become an HOA question.
Long rural driveways and multi-acre lots change the logistics of a repair. A crew that has to stage a lift and material down a quarter-mile drive under the Angel Oak canopy plans the visit from your photos and finishes in one trip, and a limb that has opened the deck on a Brownswood farmhouse is fixed at the decking as well as the shingle, so the repair holds through the next storm season.
2000s to 2020s builder subdivisions on their first roof cycle along the Maybank Highway corridor and River Road: Stonoview, Fenwick Hall, Whitney Lake, The Villages in St. Johns Woods and Swygert's Landing, mostly two-story architectural shingle with attached garages and porch roofs; 1990s and 2000s larger homes in Headquarters Plantation and the Legend Oaks area; 2010s and 2020s custom Lowcountry homes with standing-seam roofs in Kiawah River; older farmhouses, ranches and manufactured homes on multi-acre lots off Brownswood, Grimball and Cane Slash roads, many on their second or third roof with low-slope additions, carports and metal barns.
Thirty-five minutes from Mount Pleasant by way of Highway 17, Main Road and Maybank Highway, with James Island, Kiawah and Seabrook on the same Sea Islands dispatch run.

What is included in every Johns Island job.
Asked in Johns Island.
How much does roof repair cost on Johns Island?
Expect $850 to $4,950 for a Johns Island roof repair. A pipe boot on a 2000s Stonoview roof and an oak limb through a Brownswood farmhouse deck sit at different points in that range, because access, pitch and the number of areas set the price. It is written after a free inspection, before work starts. Distance on the island matters: a quarter-mile rural drive under the Angel Oak canopy is planned from your photos so the crew stages once, and a limb that opened the deck is repaired at the decking as well as the shingle.
If my Johns Island house is outside the City of Charleston, who issues the roofing permit?
Charleston County Building Inspection Services, which issues building permits for unincorporated Charleston County. If your address is inside the City of Charleston, the permit goes to the City instead, and the City's residential re-roof guideline calls for Type H asphalt shingles unless otherwise specified. The two offices use different applications and inspectors. Johns Island is split between the two, sometimes across a single road, so we check your parcel before we file and pull the permit from the right office under your order.
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 when a repair is buying months rather than years.
How fast can you come out?
Within 48 hours for most repairs. We do not do emergency tarping. If water is coming in, protect what is inside, call your insurance company's claims line, and call us for a free inspection once it is safe.
Do repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. Two years on the repaired area, labor and material, in writing. The warranty covers the area we repaired, not the rest of the roof.
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.
