The owner promptly returned my call. He knowledgeable explained options for roofing and drew up an aerial of my metal roof on my 1890 home. He knowledgeably understood what the architectural review board would allow and guided my choices, gave me advice on short term and long term costs. I went away and did research with other contractors and found his reputation solid and his info spot on. I hired him. He cave me a reasonable date explained the weather related issue. The crew was friendly helpful, neat and self initiating. They came in worked long and did an excellent job. Chance stopped by numerous times during the week to check in and explain things to me. This guy takes pride in his work. He gets right back to you. You don't pay until you are satisfied with the job. I got exactly what I wanted and it was hassle free. Thank you LowCountry !"

"Ignacio and Southline did a great job installing a new roof on my house. He was easy to work with and upfront and the roof was put on in 1 day which was great. There were no hidden costs and the price was good and fair. It is wonderful when you can work with someone who does what they say they are going to do. I would definitely use them again on another roof job and highly recommend."

"Empire Roofing and Remodeling did such a wonderful job! Tim, the owner is very attentive to what you are looking for and made himself available continuously for any questions or concerns that I had. His crew is very courteous and hard-working. All debris was cleaned up after the job and the house looks amazing. I have recommended Empire Roofing and Remodeling to several family members and friends. I will definitely use him for my next remodeling project or roof replacement when that time comes"

"To anyone who is considering working with ?Charleston Roofing & Exteriors?;

                I am the president of an HOA in Mt Pleasant.  We are a small community with only 1 very old building (14 individual
condo?s and 1 townhouse) which was built way back in the 1970?s.   Our building has five different roof sections; divided by four ?fire-walls? of cement cinder-blocks which has concrete poured over them for ?cosmetic appearance?. 

                After years of doing patchwork on our old roof the HOA finally decided it was time to stop the bleeding and get a brand new roof.
                I myself took on this job of finding the best company for our small community.

                I personally spent many hours researching different roofing companies in the Charleston area.  I ended up calling 12
different companies (which had great reputations & reviews).    I left a voice message for ALL 12 companies (telling them I had a big potential project for them replacing a new roof for a multi-family building); I had only 6 companies call me back, I had only 4
companies that took the time to come out and inspect the property?.these 4 companies finally supplied me a quote.

                I won?t get into details about cost between the 4 companies?all four companies were almost in the same ball-park of each other.   Mike and his team stood out because of what they were offering and the impression I got from him.  

           The other roofing contractors gave me the impression that they would only be doing ?patch-work? but on a larger scale.   They only wanted to quote and replace SOME damaged sheathing on the roof and keep some of the original old ones.   If I am going to
spend THOUSANDS of dollars on a new roof?.I want to make sure I have a brand NEW roof?..not a roof which is half new & half old.

                Plus, the other roofing guys did not give me the warm ?fuzzies? about how to handle the flashing on our building.   Our
building is unique in the fact that our fire-walls are cinderblocks with concrete poured over it.   Some of the other contractors (once again) wanted to take the ?short-cut? and just add flashing OVER the existing flashing?.again this is just more ?patch-work? in my
opinion.

                Mike and his team gave our community ALL new sheathing, ALL new flashing, proper drip edges, 30 year shingles AND as an added upgrade we added ADDITIONAL water protection to our roof by COMPLETELY covering the roof with a product called ?Ice-&-Water Shield? (look it up).

                Mike and his team were able to tackle the ?unexpected? (which should always be expected on any large scale job)?.we had evidence of wood rot which was found out after the removal of the sheathing (the other contracting companies would have missed
this).  Mike and his team fixed these issue. 

                Mike and his team (2 crews with a total of ~12-15 guys per day) were able to complete the job in 72 hours.      I am now confident that we have a BRAND NEW roof (not a half new/half old roof) with has been properly installed and should protect our small community for years to come. 

                Finally, every day I was on-site to oversee this project.   I got up on the roof and took over 400+ pictures of this project (so I could show any homeowner who might have questions about how the roof was constructed).   I wanted to share pics with you but it appears Angieslist does not allow this (or at least I don't see where to upload pics).   I had 17 key pictures for you which I felt would help show the progress and overview of this large project.

"I couldn’t be happier with the siding work Ideal Siding did. The crew was polite, respectful, and clearly knew what they were doing. The whole thing was handled professionally, and everything was wrapped up quickly. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone thinking about new siding."

"It went great! Jerry diagnosed the problem right away. When the roof was reshingled 10 years ago, there was a portion of the roof where the roofers used too much pressure with the nail gun. This portion started to leak. Jerry recommended we just replace this one portion and his roofers could blend it all together. They came and did the work and now it's fixed! In fact, they showed me the rusty nails they pulled from this portion of the roof. The original company I used is no longer in business. I am so glad that Jerry could repair this without me having to replace the whole roof!"

"When I called Pioneer Roofing in the AM on the first business day after purchasing their package on Angie's List, they immediately returned my call. They arranged a mutually agreed upon time to come by to perform service the same day early afternoon. They showed up promptly at the promised time; were professional, presentable and polite; and performed the services promised in their package. They advised everything was okay, and did not try to sell me any add on or additional work. They advised of some minor issue(no problem at the present) that I might want to consider taking a look at some time in the future which would involve some preventative work being done before.

"Professional, were at job site when they said they would be, honest; Jeff showed us throughout the job, what damage there was and what they were planning to do. Very helpful with alternate suggestions. Gave us choices and prices of materials so we could choose what we wanted. We would definitely recommend and use TipTop Roofing and Home Improvement again. Try them; you won’t be sorry!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Charleston, SC

Cedar shakes and wood shingles might seem similar, but they have some important differences. Cedar shakes are hand-split, giving them a unique, textured appearance that adds rustic charm to your roof. They're great for homeowners who want a distinctive look. Wood shingles, conversely, are machine-made, providing a smooth, uniform appearance for a more modern look. Shakes tend to be more expensive due to the craftsmanship involved but offer exceptional beauty and resilience.

A well-maintained cedar shake roof can last up to 60 years. However, factors like severe weather and improper ventilation can reduce its lifespan. You should consider replacing your roof if you notice persistent leaks, visible water damage, curling or splitting shakes, moss growth, rot, or missing shakes. Regular inspections can help you determine when it's time for a replacement.

When hiring a roofing contractor for your cedar shake roof, asking the right questions is important. Make sure they are fully certified and have extensive experience with cedar installations. Verify that their team is licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for details about the materials they use, such as the type of underlayment and fasteners, and how they ensure proper ventilation. Getting multiple written estimates can help you compare options and choose a contractor who offers quality workmanship at a fair price.
