Roofing That Holds Up in Coastal Conditions

New roof installation and full replacement services for homes and commercial buildings in Beaufort, North Carolina.

When your roof reaches the end of its lifespan or has been damaged beyond repair, a full replacement protects your property from water intrusion, wind damage, and the accelerated wear that comes with living in Beaufort. A new roof also gives you the chance to upgrade materials, improve ventilation, and address issues that were built into the original system. Southern Custom Builders, LLC installs roofing systems designed to meet manufacturer specifications and local building codes, with a focus on durability in coastal environments.

The service covers both new construction and replacement projects for residential and commercial buildings. Southern Custom Builders, LLC works with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and low-slope membrane systems, and selects materials based on your building type, budget, and exposure level. Each installation includes proper underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and fasteners rated for wind uplift common in Beaufort and the surrounding areas. The job site is kept clean throughout the project, and debris is removed daily.

What gets installed and how it protects long-term

The process starts with a roof inspection in Beaufort to assess the condition of your existing system, measure the roof area, and identify any structural issues that need to be corrected before installation. Southern Custom Builders, LLC removes the old roofing down to the decking, inspects and replaces damaged sheathing, and installs a new underlayment designed to resist wind-driven rain. Drip edge, flashing, and ridge vents are installed to manufacturer standards, and shingles or panels are fastened with corrosion-resistant nails or screws.

When the installation is complete, you will see a roof with straight lines, sealed edges, and no visible gaps or lifted sections. The roof will shed water quickly, resist wind uplift, and maintain its appearance through years of sun and salt exposure. Inside, you will notice improved temperature control if ventilation was upgraded, and you will have confidence that the structure is protected from leaks.

The service includes removal of old roofing, disposal, decking inspection and repair, installation of underlayment, drip edge, flashing, shingles or panels, ridge vents, and cleanup. It does not include skylight installation, gutter replacement, or interior repairs, but those can be coordinated as separate services. The installation is backed by manufacturer warranties on materials and workmanship guarantees from Southern Custom Builders, LLC.

What owners ask before they replace a roof

Homeowners and business owners in Beaufort typically want to know how long the installation takes, what materials last longest near the coast, and what happens if it rains during the project.

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs in Beaufort are completed in two to four days, depending on size and complexity. Commercial buildings or roofs with multiple levels may take longer, and weather can extend the timeline.
What roofing materials work best in coastal areas?
Southern Custom Builders, LLC recommends architectural shingles rated for high wind, metal roofing for maximum durability, or membrane systems for low-slope commercial roofs. Each material is selected for resistance to wind, salt, and UV exposure common in Beaufort.
When should I replace my roof instead of repairing it?
You should replace your roof when shingles are curling or missing across multiple areas, when granules are washing into gutters, or when the roof is older than 20 years and showing widespread wear. Replacement prevents repeated repairs and interior damage.
What happens if it rains during installation?
Southern Custom Builders, LLC monitors the weather and covers exposed areas with tarps if rain is expected. Most roofs are stripped and resheeted in sections to minimize exposure, and work is paused during active storms to protect the building.
Why do coastal roofs need stronger fasteners and underlayment?
Roofs in Beaufort face higher wind speeds and wind-driven rain that can push water under shingles if not properly sealed. Southern Custom Builders, LLC uses fasteners rated for 130 mph winds and underlayment designed to resist moisture infiltration during storms.

If your roof in Beaufort is nearing the end of its life or has been compromised by storm damage, Southern Custom Builders, LLC can provide a detailed estimate and timeline for replacement. Call to get a roofing estimate.
