Charleston has roofing requirements unlike anywhere else in the Lowcountry, historic district guidelines, copper standing-seam tradition, slate restoration, and constant salt-air exposure from the harbor. We handle everything from a downtown carriage house slate repair to a modern South of Broad metal reroof.
Properties south of Broad and on the peninsula often require Board of Architectural Review (BAR) approval for any visible roofing change. We are familiar with the submission process and use historically appropriate materials when required. For West Ashley and James Island homes, the challenges shift to wind-rating compliance and proper hurricane strapping.
Common Charleston calls: copper flashing repairs on older homes, full slate or tile roof restoration, salt-corrosion damage on metal roofs, and hurricane-prep inspections.

Yes, for peninsula properties where visible roof changes need BAR sign off, we prepare the material documentation and use historically appropriate profiles. Slate, copper, and metal on historic Charleston homes are a regular part of our work.
Salt accelerates corrosion on exposed metal, flashings, fasteners, and older metal roofs fail years before the same materials would inland. Near the water we spec aluminum or coated fasteners and flashings, and inspect metal components on every job.
Yes, copper valley, chimney, and box gutter work on older peninsula homes is a specialty request we handle regularly. Copper is repaired and soldered rather than swapped for aluminum, keeping both the function and the historic look.
Coastal Charleston County sits in design wind zones around 130 to 150 mph depending on location, and the roof system, not just the shingle, has to be installed to meet it. Six nails per shingle in the nail zone and proper edge metal are where compliance is actually won.
