Myrtle Beach Storm Damage Roof Replacement FAQs
Questions specific to our coastal area and hurricane season.
How often does Myrtle Beach get hurricanes that damage roofs?
Myrtle Beach is in the Atlantic hurricane zone with peak season from June 1 to November 30. On average, the area experiences tropical storm or hurricane-force winds every 2-3 years. Notable recent storms include Hurricane Florence (2018), Hurricane Dorian (2019), and Hurricane Ian (2022). Even "near misses" can cause significant wind and rain damage requiring roof replacement.
Are Myrtle Beach roofing codes different for storm resistance?
Yes. South Carolina's coastal building codes require specific wind ratings for roofing materials. In Horry County (Myrtle Beach area), most new roof installations must meet 110+ mph wind resistance. Impact-resistant shingles and proper fastening patterns are often required. Weather Shield installs to or above these codes on every job.
My roof survived the storm but my neighbor's didn't. Should I still get an inspection?
Absolutely. Storm damage isn't always visible from the ground. Hail can cause micro-cracks in shingles. High winds can break the seal between shingle tabs. Water intrusion can occur at flashing points. Many homeowners discover hidden damage months later when leaks appear. A free post-storm inspection gives you peace of mind and documents any damage for insurance before time limits expire.
How long do I have to file an insurance claim for storm damage in South Carolina?
Most South Carolina homeowner policies require claims to be filed within 1-3 years of the damage date, but you should file as soon as possible. Some policies have shorter reporting windows, especially for wind/hail damage. Additionally, documenting damage quickly provides stronger evidence. Call us at (843) 877-5539 for a free inspection and we'll help you understand your timeline.
Do you help with FEMA assistance after major hurricanes?
Yes. After federally declared disasters, we help homeowners navigate both insurance claims and FEMA assistance programs. FEMA grants can cover repairs not covered by insurance. We've assisted hundreds of Myrtle Beach homeowners after major storms including Florence, Dorian, and Ian.
What materials do you recommend for hurricane-prone Myrtle Beach?
For coastal Myrtle Beach, we recommend: (1) Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles rated for 130+ mph winds, (2) Standing seam metal roofing for ultimate durability (140-180 mph ratings), (3) Synthetic underlayment instead of felt, (4) Ring-shank nails and 6-nail pattern for better holding power, and (5) Hurricane clips/straps connecting roof to walls. We can upgrade your replacement to exceed code requirements.
