Service · Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingle replacement in Charleston, SC.
Asphalt is the smart choice for most Charleston homes. Done right, it lasts 25–30 years through coastal wind, salt air, and Lowcountry sun. We install it right — hand-driven 6-nail pattern, full ice-and-water shield, and algae-resistant shingles standard.
What's included
Our asphalt shingles scope.
Full tear-off to the deck
We strip the old roof down to the decking, inspect every sheet of plywood, and replace anything soft or rotted before going back over.
Synthetic underlayment + ice-and-water
Full synthetic underlayment over the field, peel-and-stick ice-and-water shield in valleys and around penetrations.
Architectural shingles, 130 mph rated
Algae-resistant architectural shingles installed with a 6-nail pattern — code-plus wind rating for coastal Lowcountry homes.
Hand-driven nails
Every shingle is hand-nailed by a Tiki roofer. We don't gun-nail at high pressure — that's how blowoffs happen ten years later.
New flashing, every penetration
Pipe boots, chimney flashing, skylight flashing, wall flashing — replaced new on every job. Old flashing is where leaks start.
Ridge ventilation + magnetic cleanup
Continuous ridge vent balanced with soffit intake for attic airflow. Magnetic nail sweep across the entire property when we leave.
Our process
What happens when you call us.
Free on-site inspection
A Tiki roofer climbs the roof, photographs every slope, checks decking from the attic, and walks you through what we find.
Written, itemized, fixed-price quote
Within 24 hours we email a quote that lists every component, the timeline, the warranty, and a single bottom number. That number doesn't change.
Schedule and prep
We protect landscaping, cover the pool, and stage materials. Most asphalt replacements are a one-day install.
Final inspection + cleanup
We walk the roof together, demonstrate the warranty, and run a magnetic sweep to leave the yard cleaner than we found it.
FAQ
Asphalt Shingles questions, answered.
How long does an asphalt roof last in Charleston?
A correctly installed architectural shingle roof in Charleston lasts 25–30 years. Coastal wind, salt air, and humidity all shorten that lifespan if the install was cheap — which is why install quality matters more than the shingle brand.
What's the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
3-tab is the cheap builder-grade option you see on older subdivisions. Architectural shingles are thicker, last longer, look better, and carry stronger wind ratings. We don't install 3-tab — it's not worth your money in the Lowcountry.
How long does the install take?
Most Charleston-area homes are completed in one full day. Larger or more complex roofs may take two.
What warranty comes with the new roof?
Lifetime material warranty from the manufacturer, plus our lifetime workmanship warranty in writing. Both transfer to one subsequent owner.
Roof making weird noises?
Free inspection. No pressure, no limited-time tricks. A real Tiki roofer climbs up, takes photos, and tells you if you've got five years left or five weeks.
