As a Charleston roofing contractor, our roof installations must meet both local building codes and manufacturer specifications.  The codes are written every 2 years, therefore will change from time to time.  

We have to adapt the newly changing codes and manufacturing requirements with the installation methods that are used to properly install your roof.  Compliance ensures safety, quality, and a valid warrant that will help protect you and your property. Contractors must adhere to these standards to guarantee a professionally installed and durable roof, that will last for decades to come. 

Inspect your roof for curling or missing shingles, granule loss, ceiling stains, or light coming through attic decking. Due to Charleston’s intense heat and storms, a professional inspection is advisable every 1 to 2 years. NBC offers a complimentary photo report along with straightforward recommendations, prioritizing honest advice over sales tactics.

Look for curling or missing shingles, granule loss, ceiling stains, or daylight through attic decking. Charleston’s heat and storms accelerate wear, so we recommend a professional inspection every 1–2 years. NBC provides a free photo report and honest recommendation — not a sales pitch. 

Most residential roof replacements take 1–2 days depending on size, materials, and weather. Commercial or complex roofs may take longer.

Residential reroof costs are influenced by numerous factors such as roof size and complexity. A large, complex roof could be more than the same sized less complex roof. Materials used like metal or shingles, or even Architectural shingles vs traditional 3-tab shingles can impact costs considerably. Labor installation costs can vary based roof pitch, the height of the roof from the ground. 

In our market the suppliers will roof load the shingles before we get started, but in certain situations that is not possible, so the shingles may have to be loaded which could impact the labor costs. It is good to remember that quality materials and experienced labor can increase upfront costs but reduce long-term maintenance expenses. 

Coastal homes are subjected to heat, humidity, and salt air, which significantly reduce roof longevity. Traditional asphalt shingle roofs usually have a lifespan of 18 to 25 years, whereas metal roofs and high-end architectural shingles, such as Atlas Pinnacle Pristine, can last over 30 years if maintained correctly with adequate ventilation. NBC offers inspection services, documenting the condition of roofs and assisting homeowners in planning necessary repairs or replacements. This proactive approach helps prevent minor issues from escalating into significant leaks, ensuring the integrity and longevity of roofing systems in coastal environments.

Coastal homes face heat, humidity, and salt air — all of which shorten a roof’s lifespan. Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 18–25 years, while metal or premium architectural shingles (like Atlas Pinnacle Pristine) can exceed 30 years with proper ventilation and maintenance. NBC inspects, documents, and helps you plan repairs or replacement before small issues become major leaks. 

In Charleston’s climate, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles for value and algae resistance, metal roofing for longevity and wind performance, and flat-roof systems like TPO or modified bitumen for low-slope structures. NBC installs Atlas, TAMKO, and GAF systems engineered for hurricane-zone durability and coastal warranties. 

A repair focuses on fixing specific problems like damaged shingles or slight flashing leaks, while a replacement requires the complete removal of existing materials to install a new roof system. NBC’s advisors conduct thorough inspections, documented with photos, to help you determine the most suitable option based on your roof’s condition and longevity.

A repair addresses isolated issues — a few damaged shingles or minor flashing leaks. A replacement involves removing old materials down to the decking and installing a full new system. NBC’s advisors provide photo-documented inspections so you understand which option truly fits your roof’s condition and lifespan. 

When deciding to repair or replace your roof, you should consider a few factors: The extent of damage – minor issues like a few missing shingles, or a damaged pipe boot can often be repaired. Still, extensive damage or an old roof nearing its lifespan might require a roof replacement.  

How old is the roof, are these shingles even manufactured anymore, and cost-effectiveness of the repair if it may need additional repairs shortly?  You should always consider long-term costs and the current condition of your roof before deciding
