Job Stories

We installed this roof in 2012. The homeowner called us out in November of 2015, because the chimney was leaking. After a detailed inspection of the chimney and flashing, it was determined that the water was being absorbed through the brick and being expelled in the attic space. This resulted in an issue known as efflorescence. Efflorescence is a crystalline, salt substance that appears on brick under extreme moisture conditions. It will appear as the moisture in the brick pushes out and evaporates, leaving the salt behind. The solution to this problem is a simple job for the Roof Roof team. We pressure washed the chimney and sealed all cracks and voids. Once the chimney dried out, we applied a masonry sealer by HydroStop. No more leaks, and no more salty residue!

This homeowner called us due to his siding beginning to fall off. We came out and did a thorough inspection of the areas in questions. Currently, the homeowner had fiber cement siding installed. However, the siding was not fastened correctly causing bowing, cracking, and some pieces coming completely off. Due to the widespread fastening issue, we suggested a full siding replacement. The homeowner agreed and selected our company to do the work.  We began by removing the exisitng siding. We then installed new James Hardie Cedarmill fiber cement siding on his home. We then painted the siding with Sherwin Williams Duration paint for a long lasting finish.  This project was especially tricky due to the height and electrical boxes and conduit from solar panels on his home. Heavy equipment was brought in to lift the workers high enough to work as our tallest ladders would not reach. The project took 2 weeks to complete.

Preserving the historic attributes of a building can be difficult. Especially when the building needs a new roof. However, with so many roofing options you can keep the overall historic qualities the same. At St. Andrews Catholic Church we removed the top layer of tile and the existing decking. Installed new decking,Rex synthetic underlayment, copper valleys, copper drip edge and CertainTeed Grand Manor shingles. The challenge was not damaging the ceiling in the church. We had to be extra careful as the ceiling was vaulted and plastered. Another quality job and happy customer!

Robbie had age related issues to her roof and new it was getting time to replace. She called Roof Roof becuase of her friend had used our company and told her how great of a job we did. We came out and evaluated the roof and gave her a free estimate. She accepted our proposal and we started 3 days later.  We began by removing the old roof down to the wood sheathing. After the old roof was removed, we noticed that the decking and rafters over the front porch were rotten. We took pictures and showed the homeowner the damage and suggested that they be replaced. She agreed. We replaced 6 rafters in this area and installed new decking. We then installed ice and water shield in the valleys and around the chimney. She chose Owens Corning Supreme Chateau Green 3 tab shingles which were installed as well as new chimney flashing. After one day, Robbie had a brand new roof and a more structurally sound house. Another happy customer!

Pelzer United Methodist Church suffered from hail damage during a storm. They called Roof Roof for help with the roof replacement. The roof was over 20 years old, along with hail damage. We sent one of our experienced sales representatives to give the church liason an estimate of the damage. They also needed the roof of their parsonage replaced as well. We negotiated the contract, then negotiated the amount with their insurance company. Once the contract was finalized, Roof Roof began work on the church and its parsonage. The church liason chose Certainteed Moire Black shingles. This was a fairly easy, but large, job to complete. It took a total of 6 days to complete both roof replacements. 

In the spring of 2013, Roof Roof South Carolina was pleased to participate in the first Lean On Me Project to help a Williamston family in need. The Lean On Me Project was created to honor the memory of Lacee’ Dial, an Anderson County teen who lost her life in a car accident in 2012. With the help of many volunteers, and the generosity of a number of area businesses, the Lean On Me crew performed a dramatic renovation of the home of William and Mary Cureton, a disabled Williamston couple. The walls were made of cinderblock with no insulation, many windows were broken, and there was no plumbing in the house at all. Roof Roof crews removed the roof entirely, installed a new roof, insulated the attic area, and added gutters with gutter guard. Volunteers installed vinyl siding, fresh paint, new landscaping, and a fence on the exterior. On the inside, a new kitchen and bathroom were put in. To finish it off, volunteers installed new trim, vinyl flooring, and painted all the walls and ceilings. Roof Roof is so honored to be able to give back to the community that has given so much to us, and we look forward to many more opportunities like this!

The roof replacement at Concord Baptist Church was a challenge at many levels. The roof had hail damage to it and was paid for by the insurance company. We started tearing off the roof on January 4th, 2016. During the tear off, we noticed that the sheathing was not solid wood but rather a mineral board. After pulling the architectural plans we found out why. This building was built as a Fire class 2 rated structure. Essentially, this means that the building itself had to be constructed out of non-combustible material. Steel, concrete, brick, and mineral board is the construction of this building. This created one big issue for our company. Code and the manufacturer required a nail-able surface (wood only). However, since the building was built as a class 2, we had to stay within those parameters.  To solve the problem, we had lengthy discussions with Loadmaster, who supplied the original mineral board, and Owens Corning, the shingle manufacturer. We agreed that a new layer of mineral board needed to be installed to create a new nailing surface and a specialty fastener was to be used called a Do All Loc Nail. These nails have a head similar to a roofing nail but have two prongs that come straight down and have jagged teeth on the sides. Once the nail is driven into the mineral board, it flares out and locks in.  Once Owens Corning and LoadMaster agreed on the installation, we went to the code office and got approval. The insurance company was notified of the difference in scope and a supplemental check was issued. We got back started on the roof in the middle of February. We worked in conjunction with the LoadMaster installers and a gutter company to complete the work.  We removed each section, 6 total, and added an additional layer of 1/2" LoadMaster mineral board. The mineral needed to be installed differently than the first 2 layers due to the increased wind ratings. All the seams on the mineral board were taped. We installed Rex Synthetic underlayment and high temp ice and water shield for dry in. We then installed new Owens Corning Duration Estate Grey shingles, replaced all the lead boots, 5 box cents, 24 gauge step and counter flashing, and added a custom fabricated drip edge. The project took 6 weeks to complete.  This project was rather complicated. However, by following the installation guidelines with the manufacturers we were able to put on a roof that will last the next 40+ years.

Due to hail damage, the homeowner was forced to replace his new roof. Becuase the original roof was not that old, he wanted something that could stand up to hail and wind a lot better. We offered him the CertainTeed Landmark triple-laminated Resawn Shake shingles. After 2 days, the brand new roof was installed, and we had another satisfied customer.
