Lake Wylie sits about 22 miles southwest of our Charlotte HQ, near Lake Wylie itself and the SC-49 / Buster Boyd Bridge. Neighborhoods like River Hills, The Landing, Paddlers Cove and Autumn Cove feature upscale 1980s–present lakefront and gated-community homes. Roofing permits here go through York County (SC) building inspections (Lake Wylie is an unincorporated community), and our team handles that paperwork for you.
With Lake Wylie roofs facing direct open-water wind exposure that lifts shingles and stresses flashing, we don't shortcut the tear-off: every square foot of decking gets inspected, bad sheathing is replaced, and fresh underlayment plus ice/water shield go down before the CertainTeed system. Qualifying Lake Wylie homeowners can finance the whole project, up to 100%.

Lake Wylie also skews toward upscale 1980s–present lakefront and gated-community homes, so two houses on the same street can need very different scopes. That's why we inspect the decking on every job rather than quoting off a satellite photo.

Professional, punctual, and honest. They didn't oversell us — they told us what we actually needed and delivered exactly that. The magnetic nail sweep at the end gave us real peace of mind with kids and pets. Five stars without hesitation.
From the start, the appointment was handled professionally, and the inspector arrived right on time. He was polite, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest. After a thorough roof inspection he didn't try to sell me on issues that didn't exist. That level of transparency speaks volumes.
The owner, Brandon, is readily available, happy to answer questions, and guided us through the entire process. The crew came in quickly and were efficient but didn't cut corners. This company stands behind their work in ways cheaper companies did not. This is our second time hiring them.
