"Completely satisfied with Lowcountry Roofing. Replaced my roof in June, 2021. Communication with Chance, the owner, was excellent throughout. The roofing crew was efficient and worked well as a team. Arrived at 7 am and had completed the job by 4 pm. Cleanup was thorough and crew was gone by 5 pm. Roof looks great and has performed well."

"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."

"A huge appreciation to Tim Gentry and his teams at Empire Roofing and Remodeling! Let me emphasize, nobody anticipates having their siding replaced, absolutely nobody. However, Tim and his teams effortlessly turned what I dreaded into a smooth and rapid transition, seamlessly swapping out the old siding for the new James Hardie ColorPlus® Technology. Their work was truly exceptional from beginning to end. Initially, Tim steered us toward ColorPlus® Technology, which is James Hardie’s pre-painted plank siding. This remarkable finish boasts a 15-year limited warranty covering both paint and labor, guarding against peeling, cracking, and chipping. I was unaware of this option before, but the prospect of no painting for 15 years was immensely appealing. Tim's teams worked with impressive speed, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail, maintaining an impeccably clean job site throughout the entire process. We cannot speak highly enough of Tim and Empire Roofing and Remodeling. Their service exceeded our expectations!"

"Very thorough roof inspection. Nick is very friendly with an easy manner. He took a lot of pictures of my roof to show good, bad, and ugly. He also encouraged me to ask for help through my insurance company because there is visible hail damage."

"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."

"Response was immediate, and met face to face with Jerry Anderson, the owner. I had a slow-leak along ridge vent. Jerry went on the roof, took photos, and explained what was going on. That was on Friday, 10-26. The very next day they were back, ready to work. The work was very satisfactorily completed on Saturday, 10-27. Their work came with a 3-year, no-leak guarantee. No money changed hands until the job was finished. Simply amazing response!! My wife and I were very pleased, and would highly recommend Jerry, his son Cody...and the rest of the Anderson Pros."

"Josh Thompson of Pioneer Roofing made a thorough inspection of the roof & roof vent. He made numerous small repairs, some of which had contributed to slight roof leaks. He made a particularly detailed inspection around the chimney & caulked nail pull-outs plus re-established shingle solidity with the underlying sheathing. His co-worker replaced a shingle that had loosened and fallen to the ground. I was impressed enough with his professional approach to the work that I asked that he & his partner provide me an estimate for some additional work.

"Benny answered my calls and did what he said he would do in a timely and professional manner. My clients decided not to buy the house so we did not have any roofing work done.

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.
