What a repair looks like on Sullivan's Island roofs.
Sullivan's Island repair calls come from corroded fasteners lifting shingles on the Atlantic Avenue and Station 22 to Station 28 rows, rusted flashing at deck penetrations on elevated 1980s houses, seam and fastener failures on decades-old metal over Middle Street porches, and wind-lifted rakes at 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.
A repair on a visible roof inside the historic overlay has to match what is there, so a patch on a Middle Street or I'On Avenue cottage uses the same profile and color, and we tell you in writing whether the old metal is worth patching or whether the published Pearl price is the cheaper decision over the next ten years. For a second-home owner, the before and after photos go to you and to whoever watches the house.
A repair on Sullivan's Island is planned around two things: the town's tree ordinance, which limits where a lift or a trailer can sit on a lot under the live oaks, and the tide and wind on the ocean side, which decide when a crew can safely work an elevated house at Station 26. We set the visit for the window that works, and the second-home owner gets a text when the crew arrives and photos when it leaves.
Fastener corrosion is the repair inland roofers miss on this island. The shingle on an Atlantic Avenue or Station 22 house looks fine while the galvanized nails under it rust thin, and the tabs lift in an ordinary onshore wind. We check the fasteners on the windward slope during any repair and resecure with stainless before the next blow finds them.
1900s to 1940s wood-frame beach cottages and officers' houses along Middle Street, I'On Avenue and the Fort Moultrie end, many inside the historic overlay with low-pitch porch roofs and metal already on some; 1970s to 1990s elevated houses on pilings by station number from Station 18 to Station 32 with hips and low-slope deck sections; 2000s to 2020s full rebuilds on Atlantic Avenue and the oceanfront stations with steep gables, standing seam and stucco or shingle siding. Heavy second-home ownership, so the roof decision is usually made off the island.
