Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Kershaw, SC homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Kershaw.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
A shingle repair should not be visible from the street. We match as close as the weathering allows and blend the new work into the old.
A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
Our crews in Kershaw work the way this family has always worked — on time, cleaned up, and finished before anybody calls it finished. You will know who is coming, what day they are coming, and what the number is before anything starts.
If weather moves your Kershaw job, we call you. If we open the roof and find rotten decking, we show you the boards and price the change before we touch it. Nobody likes surprises on a roof, us included.
Here is what Kershaw homeowners tell us makes the difference.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
A few backed out screws or a whole roof off a church — we take both. No job is too small to get the same crew and the same care.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Kershaw roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Kershaw roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Kershaw metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
No. Estimates are always free in Kershaw. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
A metal roof installed properly on a Kershaw home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
For most Kershaw homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
