The first and only asphalt shingle system with a hail warranty. TAMKO HailGuard features ImpactCore™ Technology — next-generation polymer modified asphalt and advanced fiberglass mat engineering — rated UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance and backed by a 160 mph system wind warranty. The hail warranty (active as of March 2026) requires Synthetic Guard™ and Moisture Guard® underlayments and can help homeowners avoid paying a deductible after a hailstorm…
TAMKO HailGuard is engineered for markets like Charleston where hail, hurricanes, and severe storms are a real threat. The 160 mph system wind warranty (with TAMKO starter and hip & ridge) exceeds even Category 5 hurricane thresholds. ImpactCore™ Technology — polymer modified asphalt plus advanced fiberglass mat — is specifically designed to withstand real-world hail impacts, not just pass the UL steel ball drop test. The hail warranty is unique in the asphalt shingle industry and can help SC homeowners avoid out-of-pocket deductibles after a storm. Many South Carolina insurers offer premium discounts for Class 4 impact-rated shingles.

The premier metal roofing system, standing seam features continuous panels running from ridge to eave with raised seams that interlock to form a watertight seal. This is the fastest-growing roofing choice in coastal South Carolina due to its exceptional hurricane resistance, longevity, and energy efficiency. Standing seam metal roofs can withstand winds up to 180 mph — well above Category 5 hurricane thresholds…
Standing seam metal is arguably the best roofing choice for coastal South Carolina. Its interlocking panel design creates a virtually impenetrable barrier against wind-driven rain — critical during hurricane season. The reflective surface can reduce cooling costs by 25-40% during Charleston’s hot, humid summers. Galvalume (steel with aluminum-zinc coating) or aluminum panels resist salt air corrosion. Many Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, and Folly Beach homes are switching to standing seam for its unmatched storm protection…

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is the most popular single-ply membrane for flat and low-slope roofs. Its heat-welded seams create a watertight bond stronger than the membrane itself. TPO’s white reflective surface is ideal for Charleston’s hot climate, significantly reducing cooling costs. It’s the go-to choice for commercial buildings, additions, porches, and any flat roof section…
TPO is the premier flat roofing choice for Charleston’s climate. The white membrane reflects up to 90% of solar radiation, dramatically reducing cooling costs during the Lowcountry’s long, hot summers. The heat-welded seams are critical for Charleston’s heavy rainfall — they create a monolithic waterproof surface. For hurricane resistance, mechanically attached TPO with enhanced fastener patterns provides the best wind uplift performance. Many Charleston commercial buildings and historic home additions use TPO for flat roof sections…

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber membrane that has been a reliable flat roofing solution for over 50 years. Available in black or white, EPDM is known for its flexibility, durability, and ease of repair. It’s a proven, cost-effective option for flat and low-slope roofs throughout the Charleston area…
EPDM works adequately in Charleston’s climate but has some limitations. The traditional black membrane absorbs significant solar heat, increasing cooling costs during summer. White EPDM is available but costs more and still doesn’t match TPO’s reflectivity. The adhesive seams can be stressed by Charleston’s thermal cycling and heavy rainfall. For budget-conscious flat roof projects, EPDM remains viable, but we generally recommend TPO for its superior seam strength and energy efficiency in our coastal climate…
