Roofing, Siding, Windows & Storm Restoration Experts

When your home’s exterior is damaged, it’s not just about appearance — it’s about protecting everything inside.

At New Beginnings Construction, we specialize in identifying and repairing exterior damage caused by storms, age, moisture, and hidden structural issues across Charleston and the Lowcountry. From roofing and siding to windows, doors, and moisture barriers, our team provides full-scope solutions designed to restore your home and prevent future damage.


What Is Exterior Damage?

Exterior damage includes any failure or deterioration of your home’s outer systems that protect it from the elements.

In Charleston’s coastal climate, we commonly see damage caused by:

✔ High winds and storm activity
✔ Wind-driven rain and moisture intrusion
✔ UV exposure and heat breakdown
✔ Salt air corrosion near coastal areas
✔ Poor installation or aging materials

Many of these issues are not visible from inside your home — and by the time you notice a leak or interior damage, the problem has often been there for months.


Common Types of Exterior Damage We Repair

Roof Damage

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense.

We identify and repair:
• Missing, lifted, or creased shingles
• Hail impact damage
• Flashing failures around chimneys, vents, and skylights
• Soft spots and decking issues
• Active roof leaks


Siding Damage

Siding is not waterproof — it’s a protective system that relies on proper installation.

We frequently uncover:
• Cracked, warped, or loose siding panels
• Moisture intrusion behind siding
• Missing or improperly installed moisture barriers (WRB)
• Rotting sheathing or framing beneath


Window & Door Damage

Improperly sealed openings are one of the biggest sources of hidden water damage.

Common issues include:
• Failed flashing around windows and doors
• Water intrusion and staining
• Air leaks and energy loss
• Soft or rotted framing


Hidden Structural Damage

What’s behind the surface is often where the real problem exists.

During exterior projects, we often find:
• Mold and mildew from trapped moisture
• Rotted wood and compromised framing
• Damaged insulation
• Improper prior repairs


Why Exterior Damage Is a Bigger Problem Than You Think

Exterior damage rarely stays small.

What starts as minor wind damage or a small gap in flashing can lead to:

✔ Interior leaks and ceiling damage
✔ Mold growth and air quality concerns
✔ Structural deterioration
✔ Increased repair costs over time

That’s why early detection is critical — especially after storms.


Storm Damage? You May Qualify for Insurance Coverage

If your home was impacted by wind, hail, or severe weather, your damage may be covered by insurance.

Our team specializes in insurance restoration and helps homeowners:

✔ Identify storm-related damage
✔ Document damage properly for claims
✔ Meet with adjusters on-site
✔ Navigate scope of work and supplements
✔ Complete repairs to code and manufacturer standards

We understand how to separate storm damage vs. normal wear and tear — which is critical for claim approval.

What qualifies you for an insurance claim?

Most home owners are unsure when and if to file a claim. In most cases damage associated with a storm or catastrophic loss that is not considered normal wear and tear should be covered under insurance. However, everyone’s policy is different and exactly what is covered and how the homeowner is reimbursed will vary. 

It’s a good idea to carefully document any damage you can safely assess, such as damage to gutters, siding, interior spaces, and outdoor furniture. Taking photos of the damage is also recommended. Above all for any damage that requires climbing a ladder or getting onto the roof, it’s best to call a professional for assessment.  

An inspection can provide documented evidence of any damage found, helping homeowners decide whether to proceed with filing a claim. We are experienced in assisting with the insurance process and can provide guidance throughout.  

If necessary, be sure to have any further damage mitigated by a professional. Regular home inspections by a licensed professional, especially after a major storm event, can help ensure that your home is in good condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

After filing a claim, your insurance company will send out a field adjuster to inspect the damage at your home. Their job is to gather evidence.  They will talk to you about the damage, take photos, and measurements of the rooms affected.  They then submit their findings to the desk adjuster, who makes a determination on the scope of damage. 

Insurance claims for roof or siding damage typically depend on several factors, including the cause of the damage, the type of insurance policy you have, and the extent of the damage. Damage we most commonly see for exterior insurance claims is from wind, hail, hurricane damage or other natural causes.

When you hire a licensed contractor, they are obligated by law to complete all work according to the building code and to manufacture specifications. This helps protect your property by ensuring that any repairs done to your property are done correctly and come with a warranty. The peace of mind that comes with knowing it was done properly ultimately protects what is, for most of us, our most valuable asset. 

Storms, Wind & Hail!

Did you know that wind speeds of just 45mph can cause damage to your home’s roof or siding? When you consider that many storms here in the Lowcountry have winds exceeding 60mph or more, you can see just how susceptible your home’s roof shingles, siding, and windows are to storm, wind, hail, and rain damage.
