Know what your roof needs before it becomes a problem
Most roof problems start small and out of sight. A lifted shingle, a cracked vent boot, flashing that has pulled away a quarter inch. None of it shows from the driveway, and all of it shows on the ceiling eventually. Lake Murray Construction inspects roofs across Columbia, Lexington, Irmo, Chapin and the rest of the Midlands, and the inspection is complimentary. You get a written report of what we found, the condition of the roof, and a clear recommendation, whether that is nothing at all, a small repair, or a conversation about replacement.
We are a family owned roofing company with more than 20 years of experience, and we would rather tell you your roof is fine than sell you work it does not need.
What Our Customers Say
Roofer returned for a few concerns and resolved very well.
When to get your roof inspected
Columbia's heat, rain and wind wear on a roof all year. An annual look catches wear while it is still a small repair.
Wind, hail and fallen limbs do damage you cannot see from the ground. An inspection within a few days gives you the documentation an insurance claim needs.
Know what the roof needs before it is part of a negotiation.
A stain on the ceiling, granules in the gutters, a shingle in the yard.
Past that age, a yearly inspection tells you how much life is left and what to plan for.
A written report with photos tells you whether you have a claim worth filing and what to show the adjuster.
What we inspect
Visual Inspection
We begin with a detailed visual inspection to identify visible signs of damage such as cracks, missing shingles, improper sealing, and other surface imperfections that could lead to bigger issues.
Structural Inspection
We check the condition of the roofing structure, including trusses and rafters, for potential weaknesses that could compromise the roof's stability.
Material Inspection
We assess the condition of the roofing materials, looking for signs of aging, erosion, or damage that might affect the roof's function and longevity.
Interior Inspection
We examine the areas directly under the roof, checking for water stains on ceilings and walls, peeling paint, and any other indicators of leaks or moisture damage.
Workmanship Inspection
We evaluate the quality of the original installation and any previous repair work to confirm it meets industry standards and has not compromised the roof's integrity.
What you get from a Lake Murray Construction inspection
A written report that outlines our findings, the condition of your roof, and recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance, with photos of anything that needs attention. If the roof is in good shape, the report says so. If it needs a repair, the report says what and why, and you get an estimate in writing. If it is time to talk about replacement, you get the reasons and the photos behind them, and you decide on your own schedule.
Why a Columbia roof needs a yearly look
July highs here average close to 93 degrees, and that heat, with strong sun behind it, dries out shingles and the rubber boots around plumbing vents until they crack. We get about 45 inches of rain a year, with the wettest stretch from June through August, and the humidity feeds the algae streaks you see on so many Midlands roofs. Summer thunderstorms and the remains of tropical systems lift shingles and loosen flashing, and homes on open lots or near the water around Lake Murray feel it most.
A roof that is checked once a year and after any major storm catches these problems while they are still small repairs. You can see recent repairs and replacements around Columbia in our gallery.
