Warning: Protect Georgetown's Historic Properties

Georgetown's Historic District has strict preservation requirements. Roofers unfamiliar with the Historic Preservation Commission have caused homeowners to: fail ARB inspections, face fines, and require complete roof replacement at their own expense.

Weather Shield has successfully navigated Georgetown's historic approval process on dozens of properties. We understand the requirements before we start work, not after.

Georgetown Roofing FAQs

Common questions from Georgetown property owners

Do you specialize in roofing for Georgetown's Historic District homes?
Absolutely. Georgetown's Historic District contains some of South Carolina's finest 18th and 19th-century architecture. We're experienced in working with the Georgetown Historic Preservation Commission, sourcing period-appropriate materials like cedar shakes, standing seam metal, and slate alternatives. We understand ARB requirements and can match historic profiles while incorporating hidden modern weatherproofing. Call (843) 877-5539 for historic home consultations.
What roofing challenges are unique to Georgetown's waterfront properties?
Georgetown sits where the Sampit River, Black River, and Pee Dee River converge into Winyah Bay - creating intense salt air exposure, high humidity, and hurricane vulnerability. Waterfront properties face accelerated corrosion, algae growth, and storm surge risks. We use marine-grade fasteners, salt-resistant materials, and enhanced drainage systems specifically for Georgetown's waterfront challenges.
Do you provide commercial roofing for Front Street and Harborwalk businesses?
Yes, we serve Georgetown's downtown commercial district including Front Street shops, Harborwalk restaurants, and harbor-area businesses. We understand commercial properties need minimal disruption during business hours. Our team works around your schedule, often completing flat roof, metal, or TPO installations early morning or after hours. Contact us at (843) 877-5539 for commercial estimates.
How do you handle hurricane damage repairs in the Georgetown area?
Georgetown's position at the head of Winyah Bay puts it directly in the path of Atlantic hurricanes. Our storm response team provides rapid emergency tarping to prevent further damage, comprehensive damage documentation for insurance claims, and permanent repairs using wind-rated materials. We're familiar with FEMA processes and work directly with insurance adjusters.
What roofing materials work best for Georgetown's humid coastal climate?
Georgetown's location between rivers and bay creates extremely high humidity. We recommend algae-resistant architectural shingles, standing seam metal (popular for historic aesthetics), and tile for Spanish-influenced properties. All installations include enhanced ventilation to prevent moisture damage. Historic properties may require matching existing materials - we source specialty products as needed.
Do you offer roofing services in the Belle Isle area?
Yes, we serve all Georgetown County including Belle Isle, DeBordieu (nearby), Litchfield, Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet, and Andrews. Belle Isle's plantation-style homes often have complex roof lines and historic considerations. We've completed multiple projects in this area and understand its unique architectural requirements.
How long have you been serving Georgetown, SC?
Weather Shield Roofing has served Georgetown and the surrounding Lowcountry for over 15 years. We've completed hundreds of projects from Historic District restorations to waterfront new construction, earning a 5.0-star Google rating. Our Georgetown-area customers include homeowners, businesses, HOAs, and property management companies.
Do you offer financing for Georgetown roofing projects?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options for Georgetown homeowners. Historic home restorations and full replacements can be significant investments - we help make them manageable with payment plans. Many storm damage repairs are covered by homeowner's insurance, and we handle the claims process. Call (843) 877-5539 to discuss your options.
