What a storm claim looks like on North Charleston roofs.
A summer squall line or a tropical system coming up the Cooper and the Ashley hits North Charleston with wind on the open Wescott Plantation and Coosaw Creek two-stories and with tree limbs in the older canopy streets of Park Circle, Cedar Grove and Archdale. Both get photographed on every slope the day we inspect.
We separate storm damage from the wear on a third-cycle cottage shingle, write the scope in carrier format and meet the adjuster on your roof. Homes in the Navy Yard and Ashley Villas flood zones that also took water get the roof claim documented separately from the flood claim, because those are two different policies.
First 48 hours in North Charleston: ground photos before the debris is cleared, the storm date written down, the wind claim opened by you, and for the Park Circle and Navy Yard flood streets, the flood claim opened separately. Archdale and Whitehall ranches on a third shingle are the roofs out-of-state trucks target first. South Carolina law lets you choose your own contractor, and we are on the roof within 48 hours.
Roof age drives the North Charleston claim. A Park Circle cottage roof past fifteen years is often insured at actual cash value and depreciated to a fraction of a new roof, while a Wescott Plantation first-cycle roof is usually paid at replacement cost. We read that clause with you before the adjuster visit so you know whether the claim or the published ladder is the better way to pay for the roof.
1940s and 1950s Navy-era cottages and bungalows around Park Circle, Dorchester Terrace and Cedar Grove with low-pitch gables, deep front porches under their own low-slope roof, and additions off the back; 1960s and 1970s brick ranches in Archdale, Whitehall, Ashley Villas and Windsor Hill on their second or third shingle; 1990s and 2000s two-story architectural-shingle subdivisions in Wescott Plantation and Coosaw Creek on their first replacement; 2000s and 2010s Oak Terrace Preserve craftsman-style homes with standing-seam porch accents. Owner-occupied pockets, not the apartment corridors along Rivers Avenue and Ashley Phosphate.
Twenty-five minutes from Mount Pleasant across the Don Holt Bridge on I-526, with Hanahan and Goose Creek on the same Berkeley corridor dispatch run.

What is included in every North Charleston job.
Asked in North Charleston.
Will a claim raise my premium?
Weather claims are generally treated differently from at-fault claims, but every carrier differs. Ask your agent before filing. We give you the documentation either way so you can decide.
How long do I have to file after a storm?
Most SC policies allow one year or more, but damage gets harder to prove as it weathers. Get it documented within weeks.
Do you waive deductibles?
No. That is insurance fraud in South Carolina. We price the job honestly and help you understand what the carrier owes.
How fast can you get out after a storm?
Inspections within 48 hours, sooner when a storm has come through. We photograph everything so the claim starts with proof.
What if the adjuster denies it?
We review their report against our photos and request a re-inspection when the evidence supports it.
