New Roof in Florence, SC? Start With the Facts
A roof in Florence, SC takes a beating from summer heat, humidity, days-long rains and falling pine limbs, and hurricane remnants can push gusts past 60 mph across the Pee Dee. Near the end of a roof's life, the questions pile up: repair or replace, shingles or metal, and what counts as a fair price.
This site helps you sort that out, then hands your request to one independent local roofer, who inspects, prices the job and signs any contract with you. We do no roof work and stay out of insurance claims. That roofer pays this site a referral fee; you are never charged, and no gift, rebate or credit comes your way.
Three Steps to a Written Estimate
- Describe the roof. Use the form to share your address, the roof's rough age and what you are seeing.
- A local roofer follows up. One independent roofer reaches out to set a time to see the roof in person.
- Read the roofer's estimate. The roofer, not this site, puts price and scope on paper. Many skip a fee for the visit; ask first.
Replacement, Repair and Storm Work
Each kind of request has its own page.
What to Look for From the Ground
Most warning signs show from the yard. Leave the climbing to a roofer.
- Lifted or creased shingles. Wind can bend tabs back until the seal lets go; a crease line usually means it already has.
- Ceiling stains after long rains. A brown ring can trace back to flashing, a worn valley or tired underlayment.
- A dip in the roofline. A sag can mean weak or wet decking. Have a roofer look soon.
- Pine straw packed into valleys. Needles and twigs hold water against the shingles and can push it under their edges.
Repair or Replace? Find Out Fast
Not every tired roof needs to come off. The repair-or-replace quiz asks five quick questions, then suggests whether a repair may do, a roofer's inspection is worth booking or replacement is likely.
What to Do After a Storm
Hurricanes that come ashore on the South Carolina coast can still reach Florence, SC with damaging wind and rain. In September 1989, Hugo brought a 62 mph gust to the city, and the National Weather Service notes that roofs were destroyed downtown. In October 2016, Matthew gusted to 67 mph at the city's airport, which logged 12.77 inches of rain over September and October.
Hurricane Florence (2018) later left 7.62 inches of rain and a 61 mph gust at that same airport. Once skies clear, a few steps protect you.
- Photograph first. Take dated pictures of the roof, ceilings and debris before tarps go up.
- Keep your deductible yours. South Carolina law bars a roofer from paying, waiving or rebating it, so such an offer is a red flag.
- The claim is yours to settle. A roofer can document damage and write an estimate but may not negotiate the claim; that stays with you and your insurer, or a licensed public adjuster or attorney you hire.
- Hold on to the check. Never sign over your insurance payment to a contractor.
Typical Roof Replacement Costs
These figures come from a 2026 South Carolina cost guide by RoofObservations and cover the whole state, so treat them as a starting point for a house in Florence, SC, not a local quote.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| South Carolina architectural shingles, per sq ft | about $5.15 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| South Carolina exposed-fastener metal, per sq ft | about $6.90 to $8.60 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| South Carolina standing-seam metal, per sq ft | about $10.65 to $13.30 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
Prices are per square foot of roof surface. A steep pitch, valleys and dormers, or rotten boards found during tear-off all raise the total. The roof cost calculator gives a planning range, and the cost guide lists every row.

What People Want to Know
Does it cost anything to use this site?
No. Sending a request is free for homeowners in Florence, SC and the nearby towns. The roofing company that receives it pays this site for the referral. We never bill you or hand you anything of value, which state law also forbids on roofing jobs.
Who actually works on my roof?
An independent local roofer. This site is not a contractor and never offers to do roof work, inspect roofs, set prices or sign contracts. Once your request goes out, the visit, estimate, contract and warranty are between you and that roofer.
How do I check a roofer before signing?
Search the roofer's name on the SC LLR site to confirm the state registration needed for roofing jobs over $500. For work in city limits, ask about the City business license. Then ask for proof of liability insurance, references you can reach, a local address, and both the contract and warranties in writing.
Can I switch from shingles to metal?
Usually, yes. In the City's downtown and historic overlay districts, though, changing a roof's material can need Design Review Board approval through a Certificate of Appropriateness. If your house sits in one of those districts, ask the City before the old roof comes off; nobody can promise the outcome.
What if the insurer denies my claim after I sign?
If the denial comes in writing, South Carolina lets you cancel the roofing contract up to the end of the fifth business day after you receive it; read the statute for details. Also check your declarations page, because many policies carry a separate hurricane or named-storm deductible.
