What a storm claim looks like on Goose Creek roofs.
Goose Creek storm damage looks different from the beach. A named storm arrives here weakened but still carrying tropical-storm winds, and what fails is usually one pine limb through a Crowfield roof, or a wind-lifted shingle strip on a Brickhope two-story facing open ground. Pine debris then sits in the valleys and rots the underlayment for months after the storm passes.
We photograph every slope, meet your adjuster on the roof to show them what we found, and give you and your insurer a written repair estimate. If the roof is replaced, we also file the HOA color request so the new roof clears the architectural committee.
First 48 hours in Goose Creek: photograph from the ground before the pine limbs are cut up and hauled, write down the storm date, and open the claim with your carrier before a truck from out of state opens it for you. A Crowfield or St. James roof from the 1990s is the roof a storm-chaser most wants to total. South Carolina law lets you choose your own contractor, and we are on the roof within 48 hours.
Roof age matters in Goose Creek. Many carriers now pay actual cash value rather than replacement cost on roofs past a certain age, and a second-cycle St. James or Pimlico shingle may be depreciated well below what a new roof costs. Ask your agent which applies to your policy. The claim is yours. We explain how the process works, step by step, and our published price is the same whether insurance pays or you do.

What is included in every Goose Creek job.
Asked in Goose Creek.
How much does storm damage repair cost in Goose Creek?
Goose Creek storm inspections are free, with a written photo report and a meeting with your adjuster on the roof. Repairs run $850 to $4,950, and replacement starts at $12,950 on our published ladder. The claim is yours, and we never pay your deductible. Pine limbs through Crowfield roofs and wind-lifted strips on Brickhope two-stories are the usual damage, and a replacement also needs the HOA color request filed so the new roof clears the architectural committee.
What wind rating does a new roof need in Goose Creek?
The City of Goose Creek's design criteria place the city in the 140 to 145 mph ultimate wind speed zone on the SC Building Codes Council maps. Asphalt shingles must meet ASTM D7158 Class G or H or ASTM D3161 Class F, nailed to the manufacturer's high-wind instructions with at least four fasteners per shingle. City ordinance requires a permit for any roofing work, by a homeowner or a contractor, and the City uses an asphalt shingle re-roofing affidavit. We spec the shingle to those ratings, sign the affidavit and post the permit where it is visible from the street.
Will a claim raise my premium?
Ask your agent. Every insurance company treats weather claims differently. We give you the photos either way.
How long do I have to file after a storm?
Your policy sets the deadline. Get the damage photographed within a few weeks, before the weather wears it down.
Do you waive deductibles?
No. The deductible is yours. We never pay it. Same price whether insurance pays or you do.
How fast can you get out after a storm?
Inspections within 48 hours, sooner when a storm has come through. You get a written, photo-documented damage report either way.
Will you handle my insurance claim?
The claim is yours. We meet your adjuster on the roof, show them what we found, and give you a written repair price.
