12 Most Common Roof Repair Issues We Fix in Myrtle Beach
Understanding common roof problems helps you identify issues early and prevent costly damage. Here are the 12 most frequent repairs we perform in Myrtle Beach:
1. Hurricane & Storm Damage Repair
Myrtle Beach sits squarely in the Atlantic hurricane zone, with annual threats bringing wind speeds of 60-130+ mph. When these powerful storms strike, your roof often bears the brunt of the damage.
Common hurricane damage we repair:
- Wind-lifted or missing shingles
- Blown-off roof sections exposing underlayment
- Water infiltration from wind-driven rain
- Damaged flashing around chimneys and vents
- Structural damage to roof decking
Our emergency storm response includes: 24/7 emergency tarping, comprehensive damage assessment with photos, insurance claim assistance, temporary repairs followed by permanent restoration, and priority scheduling during storm season (June-November).
2. Roof Leaks & Water Damage
Roof leaks rarely fix themselves—they only get worse over time. Whether you've noticed water stains on your ceiling, dripping during rain, or musty odors in your attic, addressing leaks quickly saves money and prevents structural damage.
Common leak locations:
- Roof valleys where two slopes meet (water concentration point)
- Chimney flashing separating from masonry or roof deck
- Skylight seals deteriorating from UV exposure
- Vent pipe boots cracking from weather exposure
- Missing or damaged shingles allowing direct water entry
3. Missing or Damaged Shingles
Coastal winds, intense UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations take a toll on Myrtle Beach roofing shingles. We repair or replace damaged shingles from age-related deterioration, wind damage, improper installation, and impact damage from hail or falling branches.
4. Flashing Failures
Flashing—the metal or composite material sealing roof penetrations—is often the first line of defense against water intrusion. When flashing fails, leaks are inevitable. We repair chimney flashing, skylight flashing, valley flashing, vent pipe boots, and drip edge.
5. Additional Common Repairs
We also frequently repair:
- Roof ventilation problems - Inadequate attic ventilation causing premature shingle failure
- Gutter & drainage issues - Clogged gutters causing water backup
- Fallen debris & tree damage - Emergency debris removal and puncture repair
- Hail damage - Granule loss assessment and insurance documentation
- Soffit & fascia deterioration - Rotted wood replacement
- Chimney issues - Flashing separation and crown damage
- Skylight leaks - Seal replacement and condensation fixes
- Flat roof repairs - TPO membrane, EPDM seam failures
⚠️ Early Detection Saves Thousands
Small roof problems become expensive disasters when ignored. A $500 repair caught early can prevent $15,000+ in interior water damage, mold remediation, and structural repairs. Call (843) 877-5539 for free inspection.
Roof Repair or Replacement? Expert Guidance for Myrtle Beach Homeowners
One of the most important questions homeowners face: should I repair or replace my roof? The wrong decision wastes money—either spending too much on unnecessary replacement or wasting money on repeated repairs when replacement is inevitable.
Signs You Need Roof Repair (Not Replacement):
- Isolated damage: Less than 20% of roof surface affected
- Younger roof: Under 15 years old with no widespread issues
- Cosmetic concerns: Missing shingles, localized flashing failure
- Limited scope: Damage confined to one section
- Budget constraints: Repair extends roof life 5-10 years cost-effectively
- No structural damage: Roof decking, rafters, and trusses are sound
Signs You Need Roof Replacement:
- Widespread damage: More than 30% of roof requires work
- Advanced age: Roof is 20+ years old
- Multiple leak locations: Scattered damage indicates systemic failure
- Sagging or structural issues: Major underlying problems
- Repeated repairs: Fixing something new every year
- Interior damage: Ceiling stains, rot, or mold from chronic leaks
💡 Our Honest Assessment Process
We built our 5.0★ reputation on honesty. When you call WeatherShield for inspection, we provide: comprehensive 21-point inspection, photo/video documentation, honest recommendation prioritizing YOUR best interest (not our profit), cost comparison if both options are viable, long-term value analysis, and no-pressure presentation.
Expert Insight: Not every roofer will recommend repair when replacement would be more profitable. We've turned down tens of thousands in replacement work by honestly telling homeowners they only needed repairs. This integrity is why we maintain a perfect 5.0★ rating.
Coastal Roofing Challenges: Why Myrtle Beach Roofs Need Special Care
Myrtle Beach's coastal location creates unique roofing challenges that inland contractors may not fully understand. Our local expertise ensures your repairs address these specific concerns:
Hurricane Season (June - November)
The Atlantic hurricane season brings annual threats to Grand Strand homes. According to the National Hurricane Center, Myrtle Beach faces tropical storm or hurricane threats nearly every year, with potential wind speeds from 60 mph (tropical storm) to 130+ mph (major hurricane).
Hurricane impacts: Wind uplift forces, wind-driven rain penetration, debris impact, and storm surge salt spray accelerating corrosion.
Salt Air Corrosion
Living within 5 miles of the Atlantic Ocean exposes your roof to salt air—a corrosive force that accelerates metal deterioration. We use corrosion-resistant materials, galvanized/stainless fasteners, protective coatings, and recommend annual inspections.
High Humidity & Heat
Myrtle Beach's subtropical climate means high humidity year-round and intense summer heat. Surface temperatures exceed 130°F on dark roofs, promoting mold/algae growth and accelerated aging.
Intense UV Exposure
Year-round sunshine means intense ultraviolet radiation—one of the primary causes of shingle aging. UV exposure causes protective granule loss, asphalt binder deterioration, color fading, and accelerated aging.
