Roof Replacement Challenges in Myrtle Beach
Living on the coast means your roof faces conditions that require specialized knowledge and materials
Hurricane & High Wind Protection
Myrtle Beach sits in a hurricane-prone zone. Your roof replacement must meet South Carolina's strict wind uplift requirements. We install roofing systems rated for 130+ mph winds with proper deck attachment and enhanced sealing.
Our Solution: GAF Timberline HDZ with StainGuard Plus and LayerLock technology for maximum wind resistance.
Salt Air Corrosion
Salt-laden air accelerates the deterioration of roofing materials, flashing, and fasteners. Many roofs in Myrtle Beach fail prematurely because contractors used materials designed for inland homes.
Our Solution: Stainless steel or coated fasteners, corrosion-resistant flashing, and salt-resistant sealants on every installation.
Humidity & Algae Growth
Myrtle Beach's humid subtropical climate creates ideal conditions for algae and moss growth. Without proper protection, these organisms can degrade shingles and create unsightly black streaks.
Our Solution: We exclusively use algae-resistant shingles with copper granules that prevent growth for 25+ years.
Building Code Compliance
Horry County has specific building codes for coastal construction. Many homeowners discover their roof wasn't installed to code when filing insurance claims—resulting in denied coverage.
Our Solution: Full permit acquisition, code-compliant installation, and documented inspections for your records.
