What a repair looks like on Walterboro roofs.
Walterboro repair calls are carport and porch calls: the flashing where a 1960s Forest Hills or Ireland Creek ranch meets its carport, the low-slope porch roof on a Hampton Street house where painted metal has rusted through at a seam, and pine limbs through a ranch roof after a storm on the Great Swamp side. We trace the leak from the stain to the entry point and fix what let the water in.
Because the trip is an hour, a Walterboro repair is diagnosed from your photos first and fixed in one visit with the material on the truck. If a 1980s Country Club area roof is at the end of its life, we tell you in writing whether the repair buys years or whether a Lowcountry Classic replacement on the published ladder is cheaper over five years.
Walterboro's historic porch metal needs a crew that works metal. A rusted seam on a Hampton Street porch roof is repaired by cutting out the failed pan and seaming in new metal rather than coating over it, and a repair visible from the street on a Historic District house uses a profile and color the City will accept. We bring the metal and the shingle on the same truck.
Rural lots off Bells Highway and Sniders Highway add a second repair category: barn and shed metal with fasteners that have backed out and rubber washers that have failed, and manufactured homes with roof-overs leaking at a lap. Those are fixed with the right screws and sealant for that panel system, priced apart from the house, and we say plainly when a roof-over has reached the point where replacing it is cheaper than chasing laps.
1900s to 1930s historic homes on Hampton Street and Wichman Street with steep main roofs, low-slope wraparound porches and painted 5V or standing seam metal; 1950s to 1980s brick and frame ranches in Forest Hills, Ireland Creek and around the Country Club with long low-pitch runs and carports; 1990s and 2000s homes around Colleton Preparatory; rural lots off Bells Highway, Sniders Highway and toward the Great Swamp with houses, manufactured homes and metal barns and sheds.
Sixty minutes from Mount Pleasant out Highway 17 and Highway 64 or down Interstate 95 to the Bells Highway exit, the longest run on our map, so Walterboro jobs are scheduled from your photos and grouped with Hollywood, Ravenel and Summerville dispatches.

What is included in every Walterboro job.
Asked in Walterboro.
How much does roof repair cost in Walterboro?
Roof repair in Walterboro costs $850 to $4,950, written after a free inspection and before any work. Access, pitch and how many areas leak decide the figure. The trip is an hour, so we diagnose from your photos and arrive with the material to finish in one visit. Historic porch metal is the Walterboro variable, because a rusted seam on a Hampton Street porch roof is cut out and seamed in new rather than coated over, and barn or shed metal on a rural lot is priced apart from the house.
What roofing materials are approved in the Walterboro Historic District?
The City of Walterboro's approved materials list allows architectural asphalt or fiberglass shingles, standing seam metal, copper, wood shakes and slate on both historic and non-historic buildings in the district. High-quality 5V crimp metal is approved only for non-historic buildings, new construction, additions and accessory buildings. So swapping an old roof for 5V on a contributing historic house is not on the list. We confirm with the City whether your house is classed as historic and build the approval into the 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.
