How to Choose a Storm Damage Repair Company Near You When Everyone Is Knocking
After a big storm, trucks you've never seen show up on every street. Charleston Roofs and Windows has repaired Lowcountry roofs through Ian, Helene and every summer storm in between.
"We had some missing shingle damage after hurricane Ian came through and Kim was able to schedule an appointment with Eric Chessnut rather quickly."
Three Questions to Ask Before You Hire
Ask every storm damage contractor near you these three questions. Here's how Charleston Roofs and Windows answers.
How Fast Can You Stop the Water?
Every hour an opening stays uncovered, more water reaches the decking, insulation and drywall.
How Charleston Roofs and Windows Answers
Our office team dispatches emergency tarping fast, often the same day you call and usually by the next morning. Reviews describe crews arriving within the hour when rain was on the way.
● Free Inspections and Written Estimates
Once the tarp is on, an inspection manager checks the whole roof at no cost.
Do You Have a Local Office I Can Drive To?
Out-of-town storm crews leave when the work dries up. If a repair fails next spring, you need someone still here.
How Charleston Roofs and Windows Answers
Our office has served the Lowcountry since January 2012, and the address is at the bottom of this page. Come by any time.
● BBB A+ Accredited
Charleston Roofs and Windows has been BBB accredited since February 2024 with an A+ rating.
Who Oversees the Repairs After the Tarp Comes Off?
Storm work often spans roof, windows, siding and gutters. When each trade answers to a different company, nobody owns the leak.
How Charleston Roofs and Windows Answers
A W2 project manager runs your whole restoration and does a final walkaround with you when it's done.

Red Flags: Storm Chasers and Door Knockers After a Hurricane
The South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs and SC LLR both warn homeowners about repair scams after major storms. Watch for these signs.
Unsolicited crews with "leftover materials" are a classic warning sign.
A fair price is still fair next week.
Pay in full only after the work is done.
Check LLR's Licensee Lookup at llr.sc.gov or call the Residential Builders Commission at 803-896-4696.

Emergency Roof Tarping the Same Day You Call
Emergency roof tarping is a temporary cover that seals a damaged roof until permanent repairs are made. Charleston Roofs and Windows installs tarps to stop rain from reaching your decking, attic and ceilings while the full repair is planned.
What a Proper Emergency Tarp Includes
- Heavy-duty tarp sized well past the damage on every side.
- Wood battens fastened through it so wind can't get under.
- Lapped over the ridge when possible so water sheds off.
- Debris cleared first so nothing punctures it.
- Photos of the damage before it's covered.
When a Tree or Limb Comes Through the Roof
A limb through the roof has to be cleared, covered and checked before the next band of rain.
"A tree branch came through my roof on a Friday afternoon. Dallas was there within the hour and had it repaired that night, because there was a chance of rain."
"They came out the next morning, inspected my roof, placed a tarp to prevent further damage and made arrangements to repair it. My project was completed within 4 days from my initial phone call."
Wind, Hail and Hurricane Damage: What You'll See and What We Do
Storm damage is any harm wind, hail, rain or debris does to your roof and exterior. Charleston Roofs and Windows sorts it by cause because each type fails differently and needs a different fix.
Wind Damage
Wind lifts shingles at the edges and ridges first. Even when a shingle lays back down, the seal strip underneath may be broken, and the next storm finishes the job.
Hail Damage
Summer hail hits Lowcountry homes too. Hail bruises knock granules off shingles and expose the asphalt to sun, which shortens roof life even when nothing leaks yet.
Hurricane Damage
Hurricanes bring sustained wind, flying debris and sideways rain at once. Charleston Roofs and Windows tarps and boards up first, then restores in the right order.
Repair or Replace After a Hurricane?
Limited damage usually means a repair. Widespread damage or soaked decking can make replacement the better value. Charleston Roofs and Windows quotes both.
Replacing anyway? Ask about building it to the FORTIFIED standard.
"My roof was damaged in a storm, and Amanda arranged for Eric to come out and help the same day I called."
The Storm Damage You Can't See From the Ground
Hidden storm damage is any damage that doesn't show from the yard but still lets water in or shortens roof life. Charleston Roofs and Windows inspection managers get on the roof and into the attic, because that's where most of it hides.
What Our Inspection Managers Check
- Creased shingles. Wind-bent tabs that lie flat but have lost their seal.
- Bruised shingles. Hail hits that only show up close.
- Lifted flashing. At chimneys, walls, skylights and valleys.
- Nail pops. Fasteners backed out under wind stress.
- Ridge and vent damage. Cracked caps and loose vent boots.
- Attic moisture. Stained decking, damp insulation and rusty nail tips.
Why Hidden Damage Matters Months Later
Small openings let water into the decking a little at a time. By the time a ceiling stain shows, the plywood can be soft. Catching it right after the storm keeps the fix small.
"Grady Brown discovered the leak quickly, he climbed on the roof and then patched it - all in the same call! Grady took photos, explained how the leak occurred and told us what to watch out for in the future."
Roofs, Windows, Siding and Gutters Restored Under One Project Manager
Storm restoration is the full repair of everything a storm damaged on your home's exterior. Charleston Roofs and Windows puts one W2 project manager over all of it, so you aren't coordinating four contractors while you're still cleaning up the yard.
Roof Repair and Replacement
Shingles, flashing, decking, ridge vents and skylights, repaired or replaced as part of one plan.
Storm-Damaged Windows
Broken glass gets boarded up first. Replacement windows come from Viwinco, installed by a Blue Label installer, with hurricane impact options for the next storm.
Siding Damage
Wind-cracked vinyl and impact-damaged panels get matched and replaced, or upgraded to James Hardie fiber cement.
Gutters and Downspouts
Our in-house W2 gutter crews rehang, repair or replace gutters pulled down by wind or crushed by limbs.
"Tommy, the sales consultant helped me make the right decision for my needs, the install crew did a beautiful job, and John, the man who did the hurricane protection worked hard to make sure our windows would be adequately protected."
