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.

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.

Tropical Storm Debby continues to wreak havoc on the Southeast coast, dumping more than a foot of rain in some South Carolina locations through Wednesday morning, Aug. 7.
"Heavy rainfall across portions of the Carolinas is expected to persist through Thursday along with areas of considerable flooding," the National Hurricane Center said in an 11 a.m. Aug. 7 statement.
The Hurricane Center said that tropical storm conditions will continue to impact parts of the North Carolina and South Carolina coasts through Thursday, and also that storm surge is likely to result in coastal flooding in those areas.

"Debby is expected to produce an additional 3 to 9 inches of rainfall with locally higher amounts, leading to maximum storm total amounts as high as 25 inches in South Carolina and 15 inches in southeast North Carolina, broadening the area of considerable flooding across portions of South Carolina and southeast North Carolina through Friday," the Hurricane Center said.
That's bad news for places like Edisto Beach in South Carolina, which had received nearly 14 inches of rain through Wednesday morning.
Here are rainfall totals through Wednesday morning in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia from Debby, as reported by the National Weather Service out of Charleston, South Carolina, and Wilmington, North Carolina.
"The following are unofficial observations taken between 8 a.m. Monday, Aug. 5, and 8 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 7," the weather service said. "Appreciation is extended to highway departments, cooperative observers, Skywarn spotters and media for these reports."
The NWS notes that observations are collected from a variety of sources with varying equipment and exposures. Not all data listed is considered official.
