Should I repair my roof or replace it?

If your roof is under about 15 years old and the damage is localized, a proper repair usually buys you years of extra life for a fraction of replacement cost. We started as a repair company, so our first instinct is to save your roof, not sell you a new one. If a repair truly will not hold, we will tell you straight.

Do you offer emergency roof repair?

Yes. Active leaks and storm damage get priority scheduling, and we offer emergency tarping to stop water intrusion fast while a permanent repair is planned. Call (843) 252-4610 and we will get someone out to you as quickly as possible.

Will my insurance cover my roof repair?

Storm and wind damage is often covered by homeowners insurance. We document the damage with photos and a detailed assessment you can submit with your claim, and we can meet your adjuster on site if needed.

Why coatings beat a premature replacement

A new roof is the right call when a roof is truly done. But many roofs get replaced years early when a coating system would have solved the problem for half the money. Here is what a coating buys you.

About half the cost of replacement

On a qualifying roof, a coating system typically runs around half the price of a tear-off and replacement. That is real money back in your pocket.

No tear-off, no mess

Your existing roof stays in place. No dumpsters, no debris, no days of banging overhead. Most coating jobs finish fast with minimal disruption.

One seamless waterproof membrane

The coating cures into a single continuous surface with no seams or joints, which removes the most common places leaks start.

Reflective and energy smart

Bright white top coats reflect Lowcountry sun instead of absorbing it, which can take real strain off your cooling system all summer.

Adds years of roof life

A properly prepped and coated roof gains years of additional service, and many systems can be re-coated later to extend life again.

Which roofs qualify?

Acrylabs and Conklin coating systems are built for metal roofs and commercial flat or low-slope roofs. They are not for residential shingle roofs. If your shingle roof needs help, that is exactly what our repair-first crews do every day. Coatings shine on:

Metal roofs with surface rust, fading, or aging seams
Flat and low-slope commercial roofs with sound decking
Aging commercial membrane roofs that are still structurally solid
Roofs with recurring leaks at seams, fasteners, and penetrations

If your decking is soft or moisture is trapped underneath, a coating will not fix that, and we will tell you straight during the free inspection.

How a coating job works

Free inspection

We check the decking, seams, and moisture levels to confirm your roof actually qualifies. If it does not, we will tell you.

Prep and repairs

We pressure wash, fix any soft spots, and seal fasteners, seams, and penetrations so the coating bonds to a sound surface.

Base coat and fabric

A base coat goes down with reinforcement fabric at seams and transitions, the areas where failures usually begin.

Reflective top coat

The finish coat seals everything into one seamless, watertight, sun-reflecting membrane across the whole roof.

Coating questions, answered

Every roof is different, but on qualifying roofs a coating system typically comes in around half the price of a full tear-off and replacement. You skip the demolition labor, the dumpster, and the disposal fees, which is where a lot of the savings come from. We give you a firm written quote after the free inspection.

Coating systems are designed for metal roofs and commercial flat or low-slope roofs, not residential shingles. The roof also needs to be structurally sound: solid decking, no widespread trapped moisture, and no saturated insulation. Our free inspection checks all of it, and if a coating will not hold up on your roof, we will say so and tell you what will.

A properly installed Acrylabs or Conklin system adds years of service life, and many roofs can be re-coated down the road to extend that again. Combined with the reflective top coat cutting summer heat load, it is one of the most cost-effective ways to buy time before a replacement.

Find out if your roof qualifies

The inspection is free and the answer is honest. If a coating can save you half the cost of a new roof, we will show you exactly how.
