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!"

"Our roof replacement went great from the estimate to the completion. We called for an estimate, got it the same day. Scheduled the install date, and installers showed up on time and completed a rather tough roof replacement in one day! Workmanship and clean up was excellent. I would recommend Charleston Roofing and Exteriors in a heart beat. I've included pictures, but we live in the woods are are up off the ground, so it's really hard to get a great view."

"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!"

"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.

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.

"I called the owner Benny Shaw on a Sunday and his crew started work the next day at first light. We were held up by an ice storm and rain for the next 3 days, but as as soon as weather permitted, his men were back in force and finished the job. I was pleased with every aspect of their work. If you need a roof repaired or replaced, do youself a favor and call TruRoof Solutions. A local company staffed with very competent and nice people."

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.
