A new roof is a system, not just shingles or panels. For new homes, additions and full re-roofs across the Charleston area, we install the complete assembly: decking repairs, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, valley protection, flashing, ventilation and the roof covering, all fastened to the wind requirements for your location.
This service is part of our roof replacement services in Charleston. Homeowners who need it often ask about architectural shingle replacement, standing seam metal roofing or TPO and low-slope flat roof replacement at the same time, so we price and plan them together.
What goes into every new roof
- Deck inspection and replacement of any soft or damaged sheathing
- Re-nailing the deck to current wind requirements on tear-offs
- Synthetic underlayment, with peel-and-stick membrane in valleys and around penetrations
- New drip edge and rake metal
- New pipe boots, step flashing and counter flashing, never reused
- Balanced intake and ridge ventilation to keep attics cooler
- Shingle, metal or low-slope roof covering matched to your home
- Magnetic nail sweep and full cleanup
For builders and additions
We work with homeowners and small builders on new construction, room additions, garages and porch roofs. When an addition ties into an existing roof, we blend the new roof into the old one so the joint doesn't become the next leak.
Choosing the right material
Architectural shingles are the most common choice across the Charleston area. Standing seam metal costs more up front but lasts much longer and handles wind well. Low-slope sections, porches and flat roofs need membrane systems. See our shingle, metal and flat roof pages, or the cost guide to compare.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a new roof take to install?
Most homes take one to three days for shingles and three to seven days for standing seam metal, depending on size, pitch and weather.
Do you handle permits for a new roof?
Yes. We pull the required building permit with the City of Charleston or the local town or county and schedule inspections.
Can I get a new roof on an addition only?
Yes, and we tie it into your existing roof so the transition stays watertight.
