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.

Servers at a North Myrtle Beach resort have filed a federal lawsuit, claiming they weren’t paid minimum wage and overtime.
William Fortner and Autumn McManus filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court of South Carolina against 21 Main North Beach LLC and Lovin’ Oven Catering of Suffolk LLC.
The defendants operate North Beach Resort, 719 North Beach Blvd., in North Myrtle Beach, according to the suit.
A message left with both businesses were not immediately returned.
The North Beach Resort offers guests on-site dining options and venue spaces that employs servers and bartenders, the suit says.
The suit involves servers and bartenders who worked at 21 Main Prime Steakhouse; Cabana Club Pool Side Bar & Grill; North Beach Pizza Co.; and 21 Main Events.
Fortner and McManus filed the claims as a collective and class action under the Fair Labor Standards and South Carolina Payment of Wages Act, on behalf of themselves and other bartenders and servers who work or have worked at the resort’s dining venues.
The suit claims that the defendants violated federal and state wage laws because they paid Fortner and McManus and other bartenders and servers sub-minimum wage, failing to provide them with required notice of their intent to rely on tip credit. Servers and bartenders were also required to surrender portions of their tips to pay for cash register shortages and share tips with supervisors or managers and work more than 40 hours without paying them overtime, the suit said.
Fortner, who worked as a bartender at Cabana Club Pool Side Bar & Grill, North Beach Pizza Co. and 21 Main Events from 2018 through May 2023, was terminated in direct response to attempting to address the wage issues with defendants, the suit said.
McManus also worked as a server and bartender at the same venues from September 2021 through September 2023, as well as an assistant manager at 21 Main Prime Steakhouse.
Plaintiffs were paid different hourly wages for overtime, the suit said.
The suit, filed on Oct. 15, 2024, is asking for a jury trial.

If you’re headed to see Conway’s Christmas lights on Dec. 24, or North Myrtle Beach’s light show, there’s a good chance a hoard of others will also be headed that way.
Here are what areas will be busy around Christmas and New Year’s and streets you should expect heavy traffic.
The Great Christmas Light Show in North Myrtle Beach tends to back up traffic along Robert Edge Parkway and S.C. 90 headed to the North Myrtle Beach sports arena. The show will run every night from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. until Dec. 30, with the exception of Dec. 25.
Lines can start before the event in the evening and last all night. While the traffic pattern North Myrtle Beach implements helps, the increase in cars can still cause delays. Some people have reported waiting up to three hours to go through the show.
Coastal Carolina University will host the Myrtle Beach Bowl this year at 11 a.m. on Dec. 23. Traffic to the stadium may increase before and after the game.
Watch out on U.S. 501 and S.C. 544 — two highways already saturated with traffic — in the morning and afternoon of Dec. 23.
Every December, downtown Conway lights up with decorations all over the city and operates a Christmas Village. With only a few entrances into central Conway, getting into town after sunset the week of Christmas may become more difficult.
The Celebration of Lights will be active Dec. 21, 22, 24 and 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. along Ash Pond Road and Marina Drive. There’s also a large tree next to City Hall and a plethora of Christmas decorations outside and in local businesses.
The Marsh Walk in Murrells Inlet will have the Wonderland of Lights nightly from 5 to 11 p.m. until Dec. 31 This could bring more people to the popular spot, increasing traffic every night along U.S. 17 Business.
The night of Dec. 31 will also be busy along U.S. 17 Business as patrons come down to celebrate New Year’s Eve on the Marsh Walk. Night time will bring an increase of cars on the roadway and in parking lots.
The popular Brookgreen Gardens’ Nights of a Thousand Candles will keep traffic slow the week of Christmas but might pick up around New Year’s. The light show will be closed from Dec. 23 through Dec. 30 and will then open from Dec. 31 through Jan. 6.
Traffic can back up near the gardens and then as people exit the gardens during the event which is from 4 to 9 p.m.
