Your roof protects your home from wind, moisture, wildlife, and extreme temperatures, making it extremely important for maintaining a comfortable environment. A well-maintained roof can also increase your home’s energy efficiency, decreasing heating and cooling costs.

In addition to roofs, we also offer gutter and siding installation services to protect your home from the elements.

A high-quality roof lasts 15 to 100 years, depending on which roofing material you use. If you have asphalt shingles, you may need residential roof replacement every 15 years, as asphalt eventually breaks down due to long-term exposure to moisture and sunlight. Assuming it was correctly installed, a slate roof should last for 75 to 100 years.
Of course, age is only one consideration when determining whether you need a new residential roof. If a tropical storm or hurricane recently went through your neighborhood, you may need a new roof, even if your home is only a few years old. You may also need roof replacement if you notice any of the following:
Damaged and missing roofing materials allow water to enter your home, which may cause significant damage. Moss growth is a bad sign because it indicates that your roof is always wet. Over time, moisture from the roof can seep into the underlayment, making the roof less effective at protecting your home.
Sagging allows water to pool in certain roof areas, increasing the risk of damage to your walls and ceilings. Water can also enter your home if there’s a gap between the roof flashing and your chimney.
If you’re building a home, you don’t need standard roofing replacement services. Hiring a team of roof installation experts to guide you through the process is best. An experienced contractor can help you choose the right roofing material based on your aesthetic preferences and South Carolina’s unique climate. Salty Dog Roofing and Siding also offers roofing financing options to make installing a new roof more accessible and budget-friendly for homeowners.

Answers to Your Most Common Questions About Our Expert Door Installation, Repair, and Replacement Services
It depends on which roofing material you have. Roofs made from asphalt shingles must be replaced every 15 to 30 years. If you have a slate roof, you may not need a replacement at any point in your lifetime. You may need to replace your roof sooner than expected if a storm causes significant damage.
The length of a roof replacement project can vary depending on factors like roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. However, most roof replacements take anywhere from one to three days. Your Salty Dog Roofing and Siding contractor will provide an estimated timeline specific to your project.
You can install a new roof over an existing roof if your current roof is covered with asphalt shingles. This is known as a nail-over roofing project. Otherwise, you can’t place new roofing materials over existing ones.
The process typically starts with inspecting and removing your old roofing materials. Next, our team will repair structural issues, install underlayment, and lay down the new roofing material. Once everything is securely installed, we clean up the site to ensure your property is in excellent condition.
You should choose a roofing material based on your area’s aesthetic preferences, budget, and weather patterns.
