What a repair looks like on West Ashley roofs.
West Ashley repair calls follow the trees and the additions. Under the live oaks in Ashley Hall and South Windermere it is moss lifting the north-slope shingle on a 1960s ranch and a limb through a low-pitch roof after a squall; in Parkshore and Shadowmoss it is step flashing at a chimney chase or a skylight on a 1980s two-story. Either way we trace the leak from the ceiling stain to the entry point and fix the cause.
On a Shadowmoss or Church Creek roof from the 1980s, a repair only makes sense if the rest of the roof has years left. We tell you in writing whether you are buying time or whether a third-cycle replacement on the published ladder is the cheaper decision over five years.
The Church Creek basin behind Shadowmoss and Bees Ferry Road floods in a hard rain, and the streets nearest the Ashley get a closer permit review from the City, so a larger West Ashley repair on those blocks is confirmed against the flood map before the visit. For a Carolina Bay or Shadowmoss repair visible from the street, we bring the shingle that matches the HOA's color record so a patch never becomes a letter.
The Avondale and Byrnes Downs cottages from the 1940s and 1950s share a repair the ranches do not: original plank decking under the shingle that has gapped and cupped, so a nail that should hold a tab is in a crack between boards. A repair there often means a plywood patch over the planks before new shingle goes on, and we show you the decking photos so the price for that section makes sense.

What is included in every West Ashley job.
Asked in West Ashley.
How much does roof repair cost in West Ashley?
West Ashley repairs cost $850 to $4,950. We price yours after a free inspection, in writing, before work begins, and the figure follows access, pitch and the number of areas involved. A limb hole through a low-pitch Ashley Hall ranch and a skylight flashing on a Parkshore two-story are different jobs with different numbers. The local wildcard is decking: Avondale and Byrnes Downs cottages from the 1940s and 1950s often hide gapped plank boards that need a plywood patch before new shingle, and we show you the decking photos so that section's price makes sense.
What does the City of Charleston require for a re-roof permit in West Ashley?
Most West Ashley addresses are inside the City of Charleston, where a roof replacement is filed as a Roofing, Single Family/Duplex Dwelling alteration/repair permit with the City's Residential Alterations/Additions application. The City's guideline names the roof covering on the application and calls for Type H asphalt shingles unless otherwise specified. Metal or elastomeric roofs need the manufacturer's specifications, and a residential building final inspection closes the permit. We file it, list the product and its wind rating, and meet the inspector for the final.
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.
