Summerville Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Summerville, SC for residential and commercial properties across the upper Lowcountry along the I-26 corridor. This page exists to talk you out of something. Concrete and clay tile are excellent roofs in the right place, and a Summerville lot under a mature protected canopy is usually the wrong place for one. Specifying from scratch, specify something else.
The reason is point impact. Tile carries distributed load beautifully and handles concentrated load badly. A limb coming out of a sixteen-inch trunk from thirty feet up delivers exactly the load tile is worst at, and it does not merely break the tile it hits. It fractures the two or three underneath and around it, invisibly, from the side. The breaks you can see are rarely the ones leaking.
On any other lot the answer is to remove the overhang. Here the trunk is a Grand Tree, removal needs the Tree Protection Board and replanting at the full diameter that came out, and thinning it is a permitted act performed by somebody who has signed an affidavit about it. The overhang is a fixed condition, so the covering has to tolerate it, and tile does not.
If you already own a tile roof here, none of that helps you, so this is what we actually do. We inspect after every significant blow, we walk it on boards rather than on tiles, and we keep a stock of matching profile so a break is closed the same week rather than sitting open through a wet month. Matching an obsolete profile six months later is the expensive version of the same problem.
The underlayment is the real roof anyway. Tile is a rain screen and the membrane below it is what keeps water out, so on any tile job over about twenty-five years old we are pricing a full lift-and-relay with new underlayment rather than chasing individual breaks. Broken tiles are the symptom, the felt is the patient. Lifting and relaying also lets us look at the battens and the fixings, which nobody sees otherwise.
And if the roof is structurally sound and the underlayment has life left, we will tell you to leave it alone and just keep the valleys clear. A tile roof that gets its debris removed twice a year outlasts one that gets a product sold to it every spring. That advice has cost us work and we give it anyway.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — algae-resistant shingles carrying copper-bearing granules, self-adhered valley membrane run beneath a standing needle mat, over-fascia intake vents replacing blinded soffit perforations, six-inch K-style trough with three-by-four rectangular outlets, counterflashing locked into a reglet cut in the mortar joint, crickets built above chimneys narrower than the code threshold — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Summerville and nearby communities including North Charleston, Goose Creek, Hanahan, Ladson.

Materials, equipment and how we do tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with algae-resistant shingles carrying copper-bearing granules, self-adhered valley membrane run beneath a standing needle mat, over-fascia intake vents replacing blinded soffit perforations, six-inch K-style trough with three-by-four rectangular outlets, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Summerville job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the upper Lowcountry along the I-26 corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Summerville Chooses Summerville Roof Pros
- ✓We read Section 8.3 of the town ordinance before we read your roof, because the canopy you cannot cut sets every specification decision that follows.
- ✓Algae-resistant granules are our baseline rather than an upgrade line, and we will argue you down from a designer laminate to spend it on underlayment.
- ✓Intake ventilation goes at the roof edge where debris runs off, not under the fascia where it collects and blinds a soffit vent nobody inspects.
- ✓Gutters are sized for volume instead of screened against needles, because fine mesh felts over in one season and sends water past the lip.
