What a replacement looks like on Ladson roofs.
Ladson has two replacement markets in one zip code. The 1970s and 1980s ranches and split-levels in College Park, Tranquil Acres and the old Ladson Woods streets were roofed when built, again in the 1990s or 2000s, and are due now, and a third tear-off on a low-pitch ranch means the decking under the pine-straw valleys gets checked and priced in writing. The 2000s and 2010s two-stories in Summer Park, Coosaw Preserve and Palmetto Commons are on builder-grade shingle and arriving at a first replacement.
Before the order is written we look up which county your parcel sits in, Berkeley, Charleston or Dorchester, because that decides who issues the permit and who inspects the roof. The county line runs between subdivisions here and the wrong permit stops a job. The right county's permit is pulled under your order and the final inspection is scheduled before the crew leaves.
Every Ladson roof lives under loblolly pine, so the install is built for straw: full ice and water barrier in every valley, sealed eaves, and a ventilation plan for the long single-story attics that College Park and Tranquil Acres ranches carry. Most Ladson homes are torn off and re-roofed in one day.
Ladson is inside the coastal wind zone even though it is thirty miles from the beach, and the inspector checks the fastening pattern and drip edge to that standard. High Wind, with six nails per shingle and the TAMKO Titan 160 MPH wind warranty, is the upgrade that matters on a two-story in Hunters Bend or Lieben Park with more roof in the wind.
1970s and 1980s brick and vinyl ranches and split-levels in College Park, Tranquil Acres and the older Ladson Woods streets, low pitch, long single-story runs, many on their second or third shingle; 1990s two-stories in Hunters Bend and Lieben Park with original ventilation; 2000s and 2010s builder-grade architectural shingle in Summer Park, Coosaw Preserve and Palmetto Commons, arriving at a first replacement; Windsor Hill on the North Charleston side shares the same 1980s to 2000s pattern.
Thirty-five minutes from Mount Pleasant up I-526 and I-26 to the College Park Road exit, with Summerville and Goose Creek on the same dispatch run along Highway 78.
(843) 802-9224Ladson prices track the published ladder and top out at High Wind for the largest two-stories. A ranch with a low-slope carport or a screened-porch tie-in is priced for that detail in the written estimate, before tear-off day.

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most Lowcountry homes under 3,000 square feet are torn off and re-roofed in one day. Larger or steeper homes take two. Weather delays are the only thing that changes that, and we never leave a roof open overnight.
Will insurance pay for my roof?
If the damage is from wind or a named storm, often yes. We photograph and document the roof in the format adjusters expect and meet them on site. Age and wear alone are not covered.
What shingles do you install?
TAMKO Titan XT and Heritage architectural shingles as standard. Titan XT carries a 160 MPH wind warranty when installed with six nails, which is how we install every roof.
Do I need HOA or historic approval?
In many Lowcountry neighborhoods, yes. I'On, Old Village, Daniel Island, Kiawah and the Charleston peninsula all review roofing. We prepare and submit the paperwork with your order.
What is the best season to replace a roof here?
Any month works. Fall and winter have the most open schedule and the least storm risk. Spring and early summer book fastest ahead of hurricane season.
