What a storm claim looks like on Ladson roofs.
Ladson sits in the inland coastal wind zone along the I-26 corridor, and a tropical system that has crossed Charleston and lost its surge still arrives here with wind and with pine limbs. The damage on a College Park or Tranquil Acres ranch is usually lifted shingle rows on the windward slope and a limb puncture under the pines, and both get photographed the day we inspect.
We photograph every slope, separate storm damage from the wear on a 1980s Ladson Woods roof, and meet your adjuster on the roof to show them what we found. Because Ladson permits through three different counties, the storm replacement permit goes to the county that owns your parcel, and we handle that lookup.
First 48 hours in Ladson: photograph the roof and the pine debris from the ground before it is hauled, note the storm date, open the claim yourself, and keep the door knockers off a College Park or Tranquil Acres ranch that is easy to talk into a total. South Carolina law lets you choose your own contractor, and we are on the roof within 48 hours of your call.
Hail reaches Ladson more than the coast. A Dorchester or Berkeley County summer cell bruises the shingle across a Summer Park or Coosaw Preserve two-story without tearing anything, and the granule loss shows up a season later. Adjusters often check a test square per slope. Our photo report marks the bruised slopes before the adjuster arrives, and we walk them through it on the roof.
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.

Asked in Ladson.
How much does storm damage repair cost in Ladson?
Ladson storm inspections are free and include a written, photo-documented report and a meeting with your adjuster on the roof. Repairs run $850 to $4,950; a replacement starts at $12,950. The claim is yours, and we never pay your deductible. Hail reaches Ladson more than the coast, bruising Summer Park and Coosaw Preserve shingle without tearing it, and a storm replacement permit goes to whichever of three counties owns your parcel.
Which building department permits a roof replacement in Ladson?
It depends on which county your parcel is in. Charleston County Building Inspection Services permits the unincorporated Charleston County side, Berkeley County Building and Codes the Berkeley side, and Dorchester County Building Services the Dorchester side. Berkeley County's permit forms include an asphalt shingle re-roofing affidavit. We look up your parcel before the order is written and pull the permit from the right county.
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.
