"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."

"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.

"This job was not a metal roof. It was an asphalt shingle roof. I normally dread working with contractors, but after working with Scott and storm guard roofing, I may have to rethink that. Everything happened on time and as promised, a unique experience for me! I loved it! They have my absolute recommendation."

"Guys came out and did a excellent job of fixing my problems on the roof.  Did not try to sell me things I did not need.  Honest and very professional.  Will use them when I redo my roof in a couple of years.

"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."

"Rep. checked entire system. He found several wires not connected properly and fixed this. He also made recommendations regarding the attachment of the panels to the rood that would provide more stability and leakproofing. The representative appeared to know what he was doing - much better than others, including the representative who was engaged by the roofer (who replaced our rood due to hail damage) to disconnect/connect the panels."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Mount Pleasant, SC

A slate roof features thin tiles of natural stone installed over a solid deck and underlayment. Formed under intense heat and pressure, slate is exceptionally durable and delivers a distinctive, high-end look. Because the material weighs far more than asphalt, most homes need added structural support before installation. 

While upfront costs are higher and routine inspections are a must, many homeowners choose slate for its unmatched longevity and curb appeal.

Slate stands out for its 50- to 200-year life span, low maintenance, and classic aesthetic. It’s fire-resistant, energy-efficient, and often boosts resale value. 

On the flip side, slate runs far more per square foot than asphalt, weighs up to four times as much, and demands a contractor who specializes in the material. Tiles can crack on impact, and repairs cost more because the work is slow and precise. If your budget and structure can handle it, slate delivers top-tier performance for generations.

Natural and synthetic slate aim for a premium, stone-like appearance, whereas asphalt focuses on affordability. Real slate runs $10 to $30 per square foot installed and lasts up to 200 years; synthetic slate costs $10 to $15 and tops out at 50 to 100 years. 

Standard asphalt averages $3 to $8 per square foot and needs replacement every 20 to 30 years. If you want the slate look without the full price tag—or extra roof weight—synthetic is a solid middle ground.

With routine inspections and prompt repairs, a natural slate roof can last well beyond 100 years; some hard-slate installations reach the 200-year mark. Soft slate falls in the 50- to 125-year range, and synthetic products last 50 to 100 years. 

Remember, flashing, fasteners, and the underlying structure may need attention sooner than the stone itself. Severe hail or fallen limbs can also shorten life span, so schedule periodic checkups with a slate-qualified roofer.

If you plan to stay in your home long term—or want a standout selling point—slate delivers strong value. Although installation costs are high, owners often recoup 60% to 70% at resale and enjoy lower replacement cycles than asphalt. The stone’s durability, energy efficiency, and timeless curb appeal also appeal to eco-conscious buyers because fewer roofs end up in landfills. Just be sure your framing can handle the weight and that you budget for occasional specialty repairs.

Skip the DIY climb if you have a slate roof. Slate may be tough against the weather, but a single misplaced step can crack a tile and create a leak path. The surface also turns slick when wet, upping the risk of injury. Professional crews use staging and hook ladders that spread weight across multiple slates, protecting both the roof and the worker. To inspect or repair slate, call a roofer who specializes in the material.
