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."

"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."

"I called Mill Creek Roofing to fix a serious roof leak. They stripped off the old shingles, had to replace 6 (4'x8') sheets of plywood, and installed 30year asphalt shingles. While they were there, I asked him if he could help me out by tearing out  4 rotted T-111 exterior wall panels. No problem he said. Then I showed him a problem I had on my home. Where to roof gutters meet, I had a leak which had resulted in some rotted wood. We made some alterations, replaced the rotted wood. The problem seems to be solved.

"I bought Angie's list' s Deal on Roofing Inspection and Maintenance. They came within the allotted three day period, although I would have appreciated a phone call before they came, as they mentioned they would call before coming.
They were very nice, professional, explained a lot, which I appreciated. The reason I cannot give them an A is that my roof leaked again not three days after they finished the maintenance. They did explain that I need a roof replacement most probably within the year; but when I asked them should I replace now they said that it can last a year more, or even two, but I should start preparing the money. Although it was a small leak,  I am not sure now as to whether the leak could have been avoided if the maintenance was 100% done right---maybe, maybe not.  But the problem is I don't know for sure, which is why I cannot give A.
Otherwise I appreciate the idea to have roof maintenance packages, I would encourage other companies to offer them.

"It was an excellent work. They did my roof in 1 day. As they stayed in my agreement and i highly recommend using c&c roofing to do yours. The professionalism on their associates it was very satisfying and i felt like i can trust my roofing work to them. And their workers were very respectful they cleaned my yard i was very impress how clean they were. Very organized all their equipment in one place and as soon the materials got there they place it like it came from factory and when they placed it on the roof it was very organized as well. I definitely use c&c roofing for another roof replace. Who knows what mother nature got for us this year. God bless and keep the good work guys."

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.
