What a repair looks like on Seabrook Island roofs.
Seabrook repair calls come from split shakes and moss-lifted shingles under the canopy in Crooked Oaks and Marsh Island Woods, rotted valleys where oak leaves and palmetto fronds sat wet in the shade, salt-pitted flashing and lifted rakes on North Beach oceanfront houses, and corroded fasteners on the creek-front homes along Privateer Creek where the Bohicket tidal wind reaches. We trace the leak from the stain to the entry point and replace what shade or salt has eaten.
On a villa regime, a leak in one unit is a roof question for the whole building, so we photograph the full roof, report to the regime board as well as the unit owner, and tell the board in writing whether a patch buys years or whether the reserve study should be pointed at the published High Wind or Pearl price for the building. For a single owner in another city, the before and after photos go to you and to whoever watches the house, and we register the truck for the gate before the visit.
Every Seabrook repair starts at the gate. The truck and crew are registered with the association before the visit, the schedule is set around the rental calendar or the owner's next trip down, and a repair visible from the road on a Crooked Oaks or Ocean Winds house uses material that matches the ARC's record for the home. Planning that in advance is the difference between a repair that happens and one turned around at the entrance.
Shake roofs on the older Marsh Island Woods and Ocean Winds streets fail in patches under the canopy, and a third patch in three years is the sign the roof is done. We replace individual split or cupped shakes when the field is sound, and we say plainly in writing when it is not, with the High Wind and Pearl prices on our published ladder as the comparison for the whole roof.
1970s and 1980s villa regimes and townhome clusters along Seabrook Island Road and near the beach club, with shared roofs decided at the regime level; 1980s and 1990s stained-wood and shingle-sided single-family homes under canopy on the Ocean Winds and Crooked Oaks golf courses and in Marsh Island Woods, many built with wood shake that this market has been replacing with standing seam or architectural shingle; 1990s to 2010s oceanfront elevated homes on North Beach and creek-front and marsh-front homes along Privateer Creek and the Bohicket Marina side with standing seam and complex hips. Mostly second homes.
Fifty-five minutes from Mount Pleasant down Highway 17, Main Road and Bohicket Road past the Bohicket Marina turn to the Seabrook gate, with Kiawah Island on the same dispatch run.

Asked in Seabrook Island.
How much does roof repair cost on Seabrook Island?
Seabrook Island roof repairs cost $850 to $4,950. Each is priced after a free inspection, in writing, by access, pitch and the number of areas that need work. We register the truck with SIPOA security before the visit, and an owner in another city gets before and after photos. Scope is the Seabrook variable, because on a villa regime a leak in one unit is a roof question for the whole building, so the board sees full-roof photos and decides whether to fund a patch or point the reserve study at a replacement.
Who issues the roofing permit on Seabrook Island?
Charleston County. Under an agreement with the Town, Charleston County Building Inspection Services handles all permitting and inspections in the Town of Seabrook Island. Before the county permit, you need a Town of Seabrook Island zoning permit, which the Town requires for all renovation, modification and maintenance work, even work that needs no county permit. The Town's zoning application also asks whether your lot is subject to SIPOA or regime restrictions, so the SIPOA Architectural Review Committee approval belongs in the same packet. We handle the zoning permit, the ARC submission and the county permit 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.
