Signs You Need a New Roof

Not sure if it's time for a replacement? If you notice any of these warning signs, it may be time to schedule a free roof inspection:

Your roof is 20 or more years old and showing visible wear
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles across multiple areas
Granule loss — dark spots or bare patches on shingles
Daylight visible through the attic or sagging roof deck
Recurring leaks or water stains on ceilings and walls
Neighbors on the same street are already replacing their roofs

Why Quality Installation Matters

South Carolina's weather puts roofs to the test year-round. From intense summer heat and UV exposure to heavy rain, high winds, and the occasional hailstorm, your roof needs to be installed right to perform at its best. A properly installed roof protects your home from weather damage, improves energy efficiency, and increases your property value.

Cutting corners on installation leads to premature failure, recurring leaks, and voided warranties. When you choose Sands Roofing, you get Diamond Elite quality installation that maximizes the lifespan of your roofing system and eliminates the need for costly continued repairs down the road.

Our 6-Step Roof Installation Process

We handle everything from start to finish so you can focus on what matters. Here's what to expect when you choose Sands Roofing for your new roof.

Free Inspection

We start with a comprehensive, no-obligation roof inspection. Our certified team evaluates your existing roof, attic ventilation, and decking to identify any underlying issues and determine the best approach for your new roof.

Material Selection

Choose from TAMKO's full lineup of premium shingle products, including Heritage Series, Heritage Vintage, and Heritage Woodgate. We help you select the right product based on your style, budget, and performance needs.

Pre-Installation Prep

Before installation day, we handle all permits, order materials, and coordinate delivery. We also protect your landscaping and property so everything is ready for a smooth install.

Tear-Off & Deck Prep

Our crews remove the old roofing system down to the deck, inspect for damage, and make any necessary repairs. Proper deck preparation is the foundation of a long-lasting roof.

Installation

Using our proprietary Zip Tight installation method, we install ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, starter strips, shingles, ridge ventilation, and flashing — all to TAMKO Diamond Elite standards.

Final Inspection & Warranty

We perform a detailed final walkthrough with you, clean up your property, and register your TAMKO Diamond Shield warranty — 25 years of craftsmanship coverage and 50 years of material protection. Your roof is ready to perform for decades.

Roof Installation FAQs

Most residential roof installations in the Columbia area range from $8,000 to $15,000, depending on the size and complexity of your roof, the shingle product you choose, and whether any decking repairs are needed. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what to expect. Schedule your free roof inspection to get started.

A typical residential roof installation takes 1 to 3 days to complete, depending on the size of the home, weather conditions, and complexity of the roof. Our crews work efficiently to minimize disruption, and we clean up at the end of each workday.

It depends on the age and condition of your roof. If your roof is under 15 years old with isolated damage, a roof repair may be the more cost-effective option. However, if your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, or requires frequent repairs, a full replacement is usually the better long-term investment. Our free inspection will help you determine the best path forward.
