General Roofing Questions
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
It depends on the age of the roof, the extent of damage, and how often problems occur. Many issues can be
repaired if caught early, but older roofs or widespread damage may require replacement. But we provide RoofScoring℠ based on cumulative points which determine an approximate time your roof has left before replacement.
How long does a roof last?
Roof lifespan varies based on material, installation quality, weather exposure, and maintenance. Coastal conditions in Myrtle Beach can impact longevity.
How much does a new roof cost?
Costs vary depending on roof size, materials, complexity, and condition. We provide estimates after an inspection. Coastal roofs require extra measures to fight against potential storm damage. But we provide premium roofs for less.

Roof Repair Questions
How quickly should I fix a roof leak?
Immediately. Even small leaks can cause hidden damage over time.
Can missing shingles be repaired?
Yes, in many cases missing or damaged shingles can be replaced if the surrounding roof is still in good condition. But if shingles are too brittle due to aging and sun exposure damage, then a replacement is required.
Do you offer emergency roof repairs?
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent roofing issues when possible.

Roof Inspection Questions
Are inspections really necessary?
Yes. Regular inspections help catch problems early and prevent costly repairs. Satellite inspections only can’t accomplish the quality of what an onsite inspection can.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
Most roofs benefit from at least one inspection per year and after major storms.
What happens during an inspection?
We check shingles, flashing, sealants, drainage, soft plywood/OSB roof decking, and other key areas, and provide a report with findings.
