What a storm claim looks like on Summerville roofs.
Summer squall lines come across Dorchester County fast and lift shingles along ridges and edges, and the pines that shade Summerville drop limbs onto roofs in the same storm. We document every slope and meet your adjuster on the roof to show them what we found.
Wind damage on a Legend Oaks or White Gables roof from the 1990s often lands on a roof near the end of its life anyway. We photograph the storm damage separately from the wear, so the report shows both. The claim is yours, and we never pay your deductible.
The paper matters as much as the roof after a Summerville storm. Photograph the roof from the ground, open the claim yourself, and choose your own contractor. We inspect within 48 hours and the file stays in your name.
Hail is Summerville's quiet storm. A Dorchester County summer cell bruises a builder-grade shingle across The Ponds or Summers Corner without tearing anything, and the damage shows as gutter grit and bald spots a season later. Your adjuster may check a test square per slope. Our report photographs the bruising across the field so the adjuster sees what we saw, and the coverage call is the insurer's.
Victorian and early-1900s homes with steep pitches and multiple gables in the historic district, 1970s ranches off Central Avenue, 1990s to 2010s architectural-shingle subdivisions across Dorchester Road and Highway 17A, and 2010s to 2020s builder-grade two-stories in The Ponds, Summers Corner and Nexton.

Asked in Summerville.
How much does storm damage repair cost in Summerville?
In Summerville, the storm inspection and photo-documented report are free. Repairs run $850 to $4,950, and a full replacement starts at $12,950. The claim is yours, and we never pay your deductible. Many Legend Oaks and White Gables roofs from the 1990s are near the end of their life when a squall line hits, so the report photographs storm damage separately from wear, and hail bruising across The Ponds is marked slope by slope.
If my Summerville address is outside town limits in Dorchester County, who issues the roofing permit?
Dorchester County Building Services, whose office is in Summerville. It issues residential permits for new construction and renovations in unincorporated Dorchester County and enforces the 2021 International Residential Code and 2021 International Existing Building Code. Addresses inside the Town of Summerville permit with the Town instead. Summerville addresses also reach into Berkeley County, so we confirm your jurisdiction from the parcel before we file.
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.
