Get quotes from the Best Roofers in Charleston, SC

While asphalt shingles are still the most popular roofing material in Charleston, metal roofs have slowly been gaining popularity in recent years. They’re cost-effective and durable, requiring a larger investment upfront for a roof that will last far, far longer than asphalt. They can hold up to any of the weather conditions South Carolina has to offer, no matter how extreme. And they’re heavily customizable, with metal roofs being offered in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles to fit any residential or commercial building.

But how do you know if a metal roof is right for you? If you intend to stay in your current home longer than the next 10-20 years — the average lifecycle of an asphalt shingle roof — then a metal roof will definitely pay for itself in the money you’ll save. Otherwise, that’s a massive investment to make for someone else’s benefit.

You also need to consider the pitch of your current roof. Metal roofs do best on a pitch of 3:12 or greater. If your roof is pitched lower, there may be some issues. There are still solutions out there, but you’ll be very limited in terms of style, since a certain amount of pitch is needed to properly install a secure metal roof.
