Waccamaw Roofing, LLC: Built for Coastal Carolina
Waccamaw Roofing, LLC is a local roofing contractor based in Myrtle Beach, SC. We repair, replace and install roofs for homeowners, builders and property owners across the Grand Strand.
Roofs fail differently here than they do inland. Salt air, strong sun, humidity and hurricane season wear them down faster. We build and repair every roof with that in mind. Our work covers residential roofing, new construction, commercial roofing, and flat and low-slope roofs in Myrtle Beach, Conway, Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet, North Myrtle Beach and the rest of the coast.

Why Choose Us
Why Choose Waccamaw Roofing, LLC
Here is why homeowners and builders work with us.
Our crews live and work on the Grand Strand. We are not a regional company driving in from another state.
If a repair will hold for several more years, we will tell you. We do not sell roofs that do not need replacing.
We choose materials for the way coastal weather really works here: salt air, strong sun, wind uplift and hurricane season.
Every estimate is in writing. No verbal surprises. No add-ons in the middle of the job.
What Is It Like to Work With Us?
Hiring a roofer is a big decision, and most people only do it once or twice. Here is what working with us looks like, from the first call to the final cleanup.
We keep it simple on purpose. You should always know what we found, what we plan to do, and why. You should never feel rushed to decide on the spot. And when the crew leaves, your yard should look the way it did before we came, minus the old roof.
Who answers when you call?
You talk to a local team that works on the Grand Strand every week. Tell us what you are seeing, and we will set a time to come out for a free inspection.
What do we check first?
We start in the attic when we can reach it, because trouble often shows there before it reaches a ceiling. We look for stains on the deck, damp insulation and poor airflow. Then we go up top and check the shingles, the ridge, the valleys, the flashing, and every vent, pipe and chimney. Those are the spots where most leaks begin.
How do you get our findings?
You get a plain answer. We tell you what is wrong, what it will take to fix, and whether it needs to happen now or can wait a season. Every estimate is in writing, so there are no verbal surprises and no add-ons in the middle of the job. If a repair will hold for several more years, we will say so. We do not sell roofs that do not need replacing.
What happens on the day of the work?
The crew protects your yard, plants and anything stored near the house. On a replacement, the old roof comes off down to the deck, and any soft or rotted wood gets replaced. Then the new system goes on in order: underlayment, drip edge, starter strip, shingles, flashing and ridge vent. Most home replacements take one to three days. At the end we clean up, including a magnet sweep of the yard and driveway for nails, and walk you through what was done.
What does a repair visit look like?
Most repairs are small and focused. A few shingles blew off. A vent boot cracked in the sun. A seam of flashing pulled loose. We find the source of the problem, not just the wet spot on the ceiling, because water often travels along the deck before it drips. Then we fix it with matching materials where we can, seal it, and check the area around it. If we see other trouble while we are up there, we show you photos and let you decide.
How do we plan around storm season?
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Spring and early summer are the best times to fix small problems, before the first storm shows up in the forecast. After a storm, calls come in all at once. We move fast on active leaks and storm damage, and we can cover openings for the short term to keep water out until a full repair is done. If you plan to file a claim, we document what we find with photos and notes.
What can you do to help your roof last?
Keep gutters clear so water drains away from the edges. Trim branches that hang over the house. Walk around after big storms and look for lifted or missing shingles. Check the attic once or twice a year for damp wood or flat, dark insulation. And do not wait on a small leak. On this coast, a small problem left alone through one summer can become a big one by fall.
Why does coastal experience matter?
Salt air rusts nails and flashing. Humid air keeps attics damp. Wind lifts shingles at the edges, not in the middle. Hurricane season puts a deadline on every repair that gets put off. A crew that works this coast knows which details to get right: wind-rated shingles, nails in the right spot, rust-resistant metal, and balanced attic airflow.
What makes a roof ready for a storm?
Most wind damage starts at the edges. Air rushes over the eaves, the rakes and the ridge and tries to lift the first row of shingles. Once one lifts, the next one goes easier. A storm-ready roof starts with a starter strip that is sealed down, nails placed in the strip the maker calls for, and a ridge that is fastened and sealed. Underneath, a good underlayment is the last line of defense when wind drives rain past the shingles. None of these steps is costly on its own. They just have to be done every time, on every slope.
Why do we put everything in writing?
A written estimate protects you. It shows what will be done, what materials will be used, and how the job will be handled if the crew finds damaged wood under the old roof. It also lets you compare quotes fairly, line by line, instead of guessing what a single number includes. When the work is done, you can hold the finished job up against the estimate and see that you got what you paid for. That is how we would want to be treated, so it is how we treat our customers.
How should you choose a roofer?
Whoever you hire, ask a few simple questions. Will you get a written estimate that names the work? Who pulls the permit? What happens if the crew finds rotten decking? How will they protect your property and clean up? The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) also shares helpful guidance for homeowners. A good roofer will welcome these questions.
