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.

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.

MURRELLS INLET, S.C. (WMBF) - A neighborhood in Murrells Inlet placed more than 1,500 American Flags around the community ahead of Veterans Day.
“There are neighborhoods in the area that do Halloween really good and they do Christmas really good. But we do patriotism really good,” Carol Collins said.
A neighborhood, easily recognizable around patriotic holidays, like Veterans Day.
It’s a tradition that continues to grow.
“The community is growing and the volunteers are growing and the support is growing and it’s our thing,” Carol said.
When Carol and her husband Mike put out the flags for July Fourth, there were around 1,200. Now, months later, that number has grown to 1,500.
Frank Lopresti and his wife moved back to the area over the summer and had to get involved.
“Just because the way our veterans are, we got to take care of them. We got to, we got to support them and that’s the main thing very important,” Lopresti said.
Mike and Carol started the tradition with a handful of neighbors when they moved to Murrells Inlet.
Now, a majority of the neighborhood gathers before five patriotic holidays each year to put out the ever-growing number of flags.
Many feel it’s a simple way to honor those veterans and first responders who have served.
“just to feel and being in America, you know, being free and you know, if it wasn’t for them, you know, which I never was in any wars or anything. But you know, it’s just there’s a lot of sacrifice. And makes you feel good to put that American flag in the ground,” Lopresti said.
Looking ahead, a volunteer named Doug thought it would be fun to get flags for the different branches of the military and put those in the yards of those who served in addition to the American flags.
Still, Mike and Carol said it wouldn’t be possible without the nearly 50-person volunteer team.
“It’s a team effort. So you know we actually appreciate it. That support, and again hopefully it’s something that inspires others,” Mike said.
Carol and Mike plan to order a few hundred more flags for the next holiday, which will be Memorial Day.

A pile of rubble signified the first steps in an ongoing project to revitalize one of the capstone properties in the Myrtle Beach area.
Demolition began in October 2024 at the Inlet Square Mall in Murrells Inlet. The walls separating Planet Fitness from the rest of the mall were removed.
Paramount Development Corporation owns the mall and is leading the project. Company Vice President David Harner and Real Estate Manager Neil Bowers could not be reached for comment before publication. The Sun News reported in June 2024 that demolition was slated for parts of the property.
The site work is one of the earliest steps to revamp the property. The plan seeks to convert the former mall into a mixed-use development. The new property will feature a Hobby Lobby and a 134-room Home2Suites by Hilton hotel, along with other shopping options.
The original plan for the location also included a residential complex. However, Harner told The Sun News in July 2024 that the site wasn’t approved for multi-family use by Horry County. Paramount Development Corporation bought the mall for six million dollars in February 2023 after the previous owners couldn’t pay their bills.
The firm’s purchase followed several large tenants closing their locations at the Inlet Square Mall.

An assisted living facility in the Murrells Inlet area is for sale on the commercial real estate platform LoopNet.
The Inlet Oaks Assisted Living facility at 12287 S.C. Highway 707 first went on the market in September 2024. An asking price for the property was not listed on LoopNet. Senior Vice President of Hilco Real Estate Stephen Madura did not return a request for comment before publication.
According to Horry County Land Records, the property last sold in 2014 for more than $630,000. Horry County Land Records also lists the market value of the property that is less than seven acres at $8.7 million. The property previously faced controversy in 2023 regarding a license issue.
The Sun News reported in March 2023 that the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control refused to renew the facilities license because the owners didn’t complete the application on time.
SCDHEC has since been split into two different state agencies: the South Carolina Department of Public Health and the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services.
In an email to The Sun News, the Department of Public Health Media Relations wrote that the owners contested SCDHEC’s decision to the Administrative Law Court at the time. According to the department, Inlet Oaks also filed information to resolve the matter. SCDHEC agreed to grant Inlet Oaks a license and filed a consent stipulation of dismissal with ALC to rescind its original denial.
In July 2023, the ALC granted the consent stipulation for dismissal.
“In March 2024, the Department received an application for an amended license as a result of a change of ownership for Inlet Oaks Assisted Living,” the Department of Public Health Media Relations wrote in a statement. “This application is still pending.”
