If you're like most homeowners, thinking about roof repairs isn't something you do very often. But when it comes to protecting your family, few home-related features do more than your roof does. Your home's roof is much more than a "hat" for your house. It keeps outside elements at bay like rain, wind, sleet, and snow. It also plays an important part in keeping you dry, warm, and comfortable through all four seasons. Those squirrels and other critters you see roaming around your property? It helps keep them away from your family, too.
When you consider those factors, it's easy to see why your roof is such a crucial piece of your everyday life. That's why, when your roof needs quality maintenance, renovations, or repairs, hiring a trustworthy roofing company in Loris, SC should be high on your priority list.

Safety is often the most pressing concern for homeowners and one of the biggest reasons to hire an experienced roofing professional. Going pro not only helps ensure your safety - it also protects the safety of your home as well. Roof repairs usually involve climbing on ladders, balancing on roofs dozens of feet in the air, and performing under pressure. For the average homeowner in South Carolina, that can create a recipe for disaster. Remember, if you're injured while trying to repair your roof, you won't be the only person suffering. Your family will, too.
Installing a new roof on your home is a complex, intensive process that should be performed by licensed professionals. It can be a large investment, but it's one that will certainly pay off in the months and years that follow. Not only will your family be safer and more comfortable, but a new roof can also raise your home value.
Whether you're giving your home a much-needed re-design or your current roof is in bad shape, Lowco Roofing is the company you can trust to help. Our roof installation experts have replaced countless roofs for homeowners in South Carolina. We hold ourselves to the highest standards to ensure product longevity, customer satisfaction, and quality craftsmanship.
The benefits of Lowco roof installations include:
It might seem obvious, but replacing an old roof is a safe, responsible decision for your family. This is especially true if you know for sure that your current roof is in bad shape.
Be the envy of your neighborhood! Replacing your old which makes your home look great and can increase the value of your property when it's time to sell.
Installing a new roof is often a more energy-efficient option than keeping your old one. As a bonus, many homeowners enjoy lower utility and energy bills when replacing their roofs.
Because Lowco Roofing uses top-quality roofing materials and shingles from Owens Corning, you can be confident your roof will last for years.
There are many reasons why you might want to consider replacing your roof, but most often, the choice stems from necessity. But how do you know when it's time to replace instead of repair?
They say that knowledge is power, but knowing the warning signs of an unsafe roof can save lives. That might sound far-fetched, but if your roof is old and dilapidated, it could be a serious safety issue for your family. To make matters worse, old roofs can cause increased utility bills and affect your overall curb appeal. If your roof looks horrible, costs you money, and fails to protect you from the elements, it's time to call Lowco Roofing.
Here are a few additional signs to look out for:
Cracked shingles on your roof render the structure nearly useless. Generally, harsh storms and South Carolina weather cause shingles to crack, especially over time. Cracked shingles are easy to spot, so if you see them, it should be a red flag.
The flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights seals the seams of your roof, keeping rain and weather out. Examine these points closely to ensure your flashing isn't cracked or broken. If it is, you could have a major water leak, which damages your entire roof.
If your roof looks like it's sagging or drooping, you need a roof replacement ASAP. Check your roof's surface for signs of rotting boards, trapped moisture, or sagging spots at the lowest points of your roof.
How old is your roof? Many roofs, especially those with asphalt shingles, can last for decades. But they don't last forever. Review any home improvement records you have to find out when your roof was installed or repaired. If you can find out when your roof was installed, you will have a better idea how much life it has left. As a rule of thumb, common asphalt shingle roofs last 20 to 25 years. A roof installed over existing shingles needs to be replaced after 20 years, if not sooner.
Moss can add a certain old-school, prestigious look to your home, but in reality, it spells trouble for your roof. Moss, like mold and fungi, indicates trapped moisture. When moisture has infested your roof, it could mean it's close to ruining. You could try to carefully remove moss or mold growth with a stiff brush, but chances are you'll need professional help to address underlying problems.
There's a reason why so many South Carolina homeowners turn to Lowco for roofing services. Sure, we could talk about our accolades and how we're better than other roofing companies. But the truth is, we'd prefer to show you with hard work and fair pricing.
From roof repairs to roof replacement, there's no better company to trust than Lowco Roofing.

The Loris Bog-Off Festival got its start in 1980 with a chicken bog cooking contest as the main event, and the competition has been a part of the festival ever since. The festival attracts visitors by the thousands to celebrate this southern delicacy.
Chicken Bog chefs will enter the festival grounds as early as 6 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19 for the 45th consecutive festival that’s held rain or shine in downtown Loris.
The contestants will be packing chicken, smoked sausage, rice and all the little extras that make their entry unique. It’s a traditional dish made for the masses in northeastern South Carolina, often when neighbors come over to help with the harvest.
They’ll cook their bog onsite, side-by-side, along Meeting Street.
And from there it’s in the hands of the judges.
Samples will be collected at noon, and the panel of six judges, who change every year, will render their verdict to be read aloud on the festival main stage at 3:15 p.m.
The winner will get $1,000 and a really big trophy. Second place also gets a big trophy, plus $500.
Attendees also get to have a say, as long as they’re one of the 250 who line up early enough to buy a $5 sample ticket.
After trying all 20 of the entries, they’ll get to the vote for the People’s Choice Award, which also earns a really big trophy, plus $250.
“You’ll start getting full after about 10 samples,” said Loris Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Samantha Norris, the driving force behind the festival.
And if you can’t get a people’s choice ticket, don’t worry. The chamber of commerce sells chicken bog for $10 a plate at the festival, and the dish will also be served by assorted restaurants in town.
The cooking competition is fierce but friendly, with “a whole year of bragging rights” on the line, Norris said.
Pepper Lilly of Murrells Inlet won the last two chicken bog cooking contests, and will be going for a three-peat, which would be a first for the Bog-Off.
Aubrey Johnson was the first two-time winner, earning the title in 1983 and 1988.
Five other contestants, including Lilly, have won back-to-back titles — Joseph Enzor (1989/1990), Ski Smolenski (1992/1993), Ronald Ward (2015/2016), and Paul Lawson (2008/2009). But Lawson gets an asterisk, after teaming with Tony Jordan for the 2008 Top Bog.
If there were a Bog-off Hall of Fame, Enzor would have his own wing. He won four titles over a span of 10 years, adding wins in 1996 and 1988 to his earlier two-year run.
The Bog-Off cook-off is one of five competitions at the annual festival. There is also a 5K run, a car show, a chicken clucking contest and a Mt. Dew chugging competition.
There are also several hundred vendors, a pair of kids play areas and live entertainment on two stages.
The festival runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parking is where you find it.
