Protecting "The Family Beach" Since 2010
Surfside Beach's direct oceanfront location creates the most extreme roofing environment in South Carolina. Your roof faces challenges that inland properties never experience.
SEVERE Salt Air Corrosion: Direct ocean exposure means salt spray hits your roof daily. Standard metal fasteners rust within 5-7 years. Metal flashing corrodes. Vents deteriorate. We see this every day on oceanfront homes that used inferior materials.
The Surfside Beach Reality: You face maximum salt exposure, extreme humidity (75-90%), high winds (110+ mph storms), and intense UV from ocean reflection. Your roof takes a beating that requires specialized oceanfront expertise.

Surfside Beach Roofing FAQs
Answers to common questions from oceanfront homeowners
How does Surfside Beach's oceanfront location affect my roof?
Surfside Beach experiences SEVERE salt air corrosion from direct ocean exposure. Salt spray accelerates rusting of metal fasteners, flashing, and vents. Combined with extreme humidity (75-90%) and high winds, oceanfront roofs require specialized corrosion-resistant materials and more frequent inspections than inland properties.
What storm damage did Tropical Storm Debby cause in Surfside Beach?
Tropical Storm Debby (August 2024) brought 22+ inches of rain and spawned tornadoes in Surfside Beach. The storm caused widespread roof damage from extreme rainfall, tornado-force winds, and storm surge. We helped dozens of oceanfront homeowners with emergency repairs and insurance claims.
Do oceanfront roofs in Surfside Beach need special materials?
Absolutely. Surfside Beach oceanfront properties require stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, marine-grade flashing, high wind-rated shingles (110+ mph), and enhanced waterproofing. We use GAF materials specifically designed for maximum salt air exposure and coastal conditions.
How long does a roof last in Surfside Beach oceanfront properties?
Oceanfront Surfside Beach roofs last 20-25 years with proper materials and maintenance, compared to 30-35 years inland. Salt air corrosion significantly reduces lifespan of standard materials. Metal roofing with marine-grade coatings can extend this to 35-40 years.
Why do metal fasteners rust so quickly at the beach?
Salt spray contains sodium chloride (salt) which is highly corrosive to metal. Standard galvanized fasteners rust within 5-7 years at the oceanfront. Rusted fasteners lose holding power, causing shingles to lift in wind. We use stainless steel fasteners that resist corrosion for 30+ years.
Should I get a metal roof for my Surfside Beach home?
Metal roofs with marine-grade coatings are excellent for oceanfront Surfside Beach homes. They resist salt air corrosion better than asphalt shingles, last 35-40 years, and provide superior wind resistance. They cost more upfront but offer better long-term value at the beach.
How often should I inspect my oceanfront roof?
Oceanfront Surfside Beach roofs should be inspected twice yearly—once before hurricane season (May) and once after (November). We also recommend inspections after major storms. Salt air corrosion progresses quickly, so early detection prevents major damage.
Do you serve Prestwick Country Club and Deerfield Plantation?
Yes! We serve all Surfside Beach neighborhoods including Prestwick Country Club, Long Bay Estates, Deerfield Plantation, Surfside Beach Club, and all oceanfront properties. We understand HOA requirements and work with property managers.
Can you help with insurance claims for storm damage?
Absolutely! We specialize in oceanfront storm damage claims. We document all damage with photos and drone footage, work directly with insurance adjusters, and handle the entire claims process. We helped many Surfside Beach homeowners after Tropical Storm Debby brought 22+ inches of rain.
Why does algae grow so fast on Surfside Beach roofs?
Extreme humidity (75-90%), salt air, and ocean spray create ideal conditions for algae growth. Black streaks appear within 2-3 years on non-resistant shingles. We install GAF shingles with StainGuard algae protection and offer algae treatment services for existing roofs.
