About Charleston Roofs and Windows, the Roofer Next Door to Lincolnville Since 2012
Charleston Roofs and Windows is a locally owned roofing, window, siding and gutter company that has worked on Lowcountry homes since January 2012.
We're the roofing company in Charleston that families across the Tri-County know, and our office sits just down the road in Ladson. From William Aiken Avenue it's about a 10 minute drive to Lincolnville Town Hall on West Broad Street.
Downtown Charleston is about 23 miles away, roughly 35 minutes by car. That short hop from Ladson means our inspection managers and crews are in and around Lincolnville every week.
Everyday Roofing in Lincolnville
Most of our Lincolnville work is everyday roofing. A ceiling stain shows up after a thunderstorm, a pipe boot cracks in the summer sun, or a roof from the 1990s starts shedding granules into the gutters.
- Roof repairs for leaks, missing shingles, flashing, valleys and pipe boots.
- Emergency roof repairs when water is coming in and a tarp has to go on fast.
- Roof replacements with a full tear-off, new decking where needed and a complete Atlas Signature Select system, usually finished in one day.
Storm Roofing in Lincolnville
The other half of our work is storm roofing. Lincolnville sits inland, but the same thunderstorms, downbursts and tropical systems that rake Summerville and Ladson cross the town limits too.
Wind lifts shingles and tears ridge caps, hail bruises older shingles, and falling pine limbs punch through decking. Our team tarps the opening, documents the damage with photos and restores the roof, windows, siding and gutters under one project manager.

The Truth About Hiring a Roofer in Lincolnville (And How Charleston Roofs and Windows Does It Differently)
Hiring a roofer in a town of about 1,150 people comes with its own set of problems, and most Lincolnville homeowners have heard at least one bad story.
Big-city roofers often skip small towns, or show up once and never call back. Others quote a whole new roof on an older home without ever climbing a ladder.
"Eric was great and professional without being pushy. They were willing to do repairs on our roof when several other companies were pushing only a new roof option. He quoted us for the repair and a replacement."
The Problems Lincolnville Homeowners Run Into
Older Homes Get Pushed Into Replacements They May Not Need
The median Lincolnville home was built around 1987, and more than a quarter went up in the 1970s. Older roofs look tired from the street, which makes them an easy target for a full replacement pitch.
How Charleston Roofs and Windows Solves It
Our inspection managers check the attic first and the roof second, then photograph the exact problem. If a repair will give you more good years, we quote the repair, and we show you a replacement price side by side so you can decide.
Family Homes With Layers of Old Repairs
Many Lincolnville homes have been handed down through families, and the roof often carries decades of patches, mixed shingles and a second layer laid over the first. Those layers hide soft decking and trap moisture.
How Charleston Roofs and Windows Solves It
On a replacement, we tear the roof down to the deck, replace rotten boards, and install a complete Atlas system from the underlayment up. You get one clean roof, not another layer of guesses.
Talking It Through With the Whole Family
When a home belongs to the family and not just one person, we're glad to walk the photos and the estimate with everyone who has a say before anything is signed.
Out-of-Town Crews After Every Big Storm
After Hurricane Helene in September 2024, trees and power lines came down across Dorchester County. Storms like that bring door-knockers with out-of-state plates who are gone before the first warranty question comes up.
How Charleston Roofs and Windows Solves It
Charleston Roofs and Windows has worked from a permanent office in Ladson since 2012, a few minutes from Lincolnville. A W2 project manager, an employee and not a subcontractor foreman, runs your job and does a final walkaround with you.
"Fantastic service and everyone we worked with was top shelf. Luis went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and that the job was done not only to our satisfaction but his as well"
What You Actually Need From a Lincolnville Roofer
Attic and roof, with photos, before any price.
An older roof is not automatically a dead roof.
A roofer 10 minutes away can come back for a warranty visit without a fuss.

Lincolnville Storms and Weather: What Charleston Roofs and Windows Sees on Local Roofs
Lincolnville's biggest roof threats are wind-driven thunderstorms, falling pine limbs and the heavy rain of tropical systems. The town sits inland at about 79 feet of elevation, so salt spray is rarely the problem. Trees and wind are.
The same weather that hits Summerville hits Lincolnville. Summerville borders the town on the north, west and south, so a storm on one side of the line is a storm on the other.
"The whole company was professional and extended courtesy with respect. The workers and supervisor kept me informed as to what they were doing and were ahead of any problems that might arise because of delays due to weather."

What Each Storm Threat Does to a Lincolnville Roof
-
Downbursts and Thunderstorm Wind
The June 2024 downburst hit the communities on both sides of Lincolnville with 80 to 85 mph winds. Wind like that breaks shingle seal strips, peels ridge caps and rips off older three-tab roofs first. -
Pine and Oak Limbs
Tall pines are part of what makes this corner of the Lowcountry beautiful. In a storm, a falling limb can punch straight through the decking, and pine straw left in valleys and gutters holds water against the roof. -
Heavy Rain and Low Ground
The town history notes that Saw Mill Swamp, Pump Swamp and Brick Arch Swamp drain toward Eagle Creek and the Ashley River. When Debby dropped more than 18 inches nearby, every clogged gutter and weak valley got tested. -
Heat and Humidity
Long summer days bake shingles and dry out sealants, and steady humidity on shaded roofs feeds algae. Atlas Scotchgard Protector shingles are built to resist those dark streaks.

Lincolnville's History and Your Roof
Lincolnville was founded in 1867 by seven African American leaders, including Rev. Richard H. Cain, on about 620 acres bought from the South Carolina Railroad Company for $1,000. The area was first called Pump Pond.
The town was incorporated in 1889 and named for Abraham Lincoln. In 2022 it joined the National Park Service's Reconstruction Era National Historic Network, and descendants still live among the churches, schools and homes their ancestors built.
How Charleston Roofs and Windows Approaches Historic Family Homes
We start with a repair-first conversation on older homes and match what's there when a patch needs to blend in. Before any work begins, we ask the town zoning office whether anything beyond a standard permit applies to your property.
Lincolnville Homes and What Charleston Roofs and Windows Looks for on Each Roof
Lincolnville homes are older than most in the Charleston suburbs, and that changes what a roof inspection needs to look for. The median home in town was built around 1987, compared with about 2001 next door in Summerville.

Roof structure varies, so we inspect first and explain the options that fit
Signs Your Lincolnville Roof Needs Attention
- Granules in the gutters or bare spots on shingles.
- Curling or cupped shingles on the sunny south and west slopes.
- Water stains on ceilings near chimneys, vents or valleys.
- Sagging lines in the roof that point to soft decking.
- Pine limbs resting on the roof after a storm, even if nothing looks broken.
About 48 percent of homes are single-family detached houses and about 30 percent are mobile or manufactured homes. Roughly 60 percent are owner-occupied, so a lot of these roofs are the family's responsibility for the long haul.
"Not only did they give the best price out of 5 other companies but did it in record time.. From tear off to completion of the new roof was a day and half." Bob Adkison, 5 stars, Google ( read this review on Google)
