Full roof replacement strips the old covering down to the decking, swaps out soft boards, and adds new underlayment, flashing and roofing. Inside Columbia city limits it calls for a City roofing permit; the roofer files for it before tear-off begins.
Storm and hail damage inspections follow wind, fallen limbs or hail. Helene pushed a 58-knot gust through Columbia Metropolitan Airport in 2024, and wind that strong can lift shingles. The roofer documents and prices the damage; you take that report to your insurer, since the roofer can't negotiate the claim.
Metal roof replacement covers steel panels, including standing seam. Roof Observations estimated standing-seam steel at about $10.65 per sq ft in South Carolina in 2026. In a City historic or design district, ask preservation staff about a Certificate of Design Approval before switching materials.
Shingle roof replacement is the budget-friendly route: about $4.50 per sq ft for asphalt (This Old House, 2026) and about $5.15 for architectural shingles (Roof Observations, 2026).
Roof repair handles a single leak, lifted tabs or loose flashing when the rest of the roof is sound. A good roofer will tell you when a repair is enough.
Help Choosing a Service
Not sure which page fits? Match your situation below, or take the repair-or-replace quiz.
- Something changed after a storm. Start with storm and hail damage so the roofer records what's new before anything is fixed.
- One leak on an otherwise solid roof. Roof repair is usually the first call.
- An aging roof with repeat patches. Full replacement is worth pricing.
- You want a longer-lasting material. Compare metal against shingles before you decide.
- Cost comes first. Shingles give the lowest price per square foot of the published South Carolina figures.
