Charleston News

Choosing the right siding is one of the most important decisions homeowners can make when upgrading or renovating their exterior. In Charleston, South Carolina, siding must do far more than enhance curb appeal. It must protect the home against heat, humidity, heavy rainfall, coastal air, and seasonal storms.

Siding plays a critical role in shielding a home from moisture intrusion, supporting energy efficiency, and preserving long term structural integrity. Products engineered for coastal and high humidity environments tend to perform best over time, especially when durability and maintenance requirements are carefully considered.

This guide breaks down what impacts roof replacement costs in Charleston and provides realistic pricing ranges for the most common roofing systems. While these numbers offer helpful insight, final pricing is always determined after an on-site evaluation.
