Columbia, SC Roofing Contractor — Sands Roofing & Construction

Columbia is South Carolina's capital city and the beating heart of the Midlands, home to more than 130,000 residents. From the tree-lined streets of Shandon and Rosewood to the bustling growth of Northeast Columbia, the city has a rich mix of historic neighborhoods, established communities, and brand-new subdivisions. Fort Jackson brings a steady stream of military families who need dependable roofing, and the University of South Carolina campus drives demand for rental property maintenance across the Five Points and Olympia-Granby areas.

Columbia's climate puts every roof to the test. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, intense UV exposure breaks down shingles faster than in cooler climates, and high humidity promotes algae growth that deteriorates roofing materials over time. The Midlands sits in what the insurance industry calls "Hail Alley" — severe thunderstorms, hail, and the occasional tropical remnant can strike with little warning.

Sands Roofing & Construction is based just minutes away in Lexington and has been protecting Columbia homes and businesses with premium roofing, siding, and gutter services for over 15 years. As the Midlands' only TAMKO Diamond Elite contractor, we combine factory-certified installation methods with materials engineered to stand up to everything Columbia's weather throws at them.

Historic neighborhoods like Shandon, Rosewood, Forest Acres, Heathwood, and Earlewood feature homes built from the early 1900s through the 1960s. These properties often have unique roof lines, dormers, and aging flashing that require a contractor experienced with careful tear-off and thorough deck inspection. Our crews protect mature landscaping, work within neighborhood HOA guidelines, and ensure every detail is handled.

Northeast Columbia growth has produced dozens of subdivisions built in the 1990s through 2010s. Many of these homes shipped with builder-grade three-tab shingles that are now due for their first replacement. We help homeowners upgrade to TAMKO Heritage architectural shingles — delivering better wind resistance, curb appeal, and warranty protection.

Fort Jackson military families need a roofing contractor they can trust on tight timelines, especially when PCS moves are involved. We provide same-week availability for inspections and prioritize projects for military families buying, selling, or maintaining homes near the installation.

USC rental properties in Five Points, Olympia-Granby, and the surrounding areas take a beating from high tenant turnover and deferred maintenance. Landlords and property managers count on us for fast, reliable roof repairs and full replacements that protect their investment and keep tenants dry.

Weather considerations: Columbia sits at the center of the Midlands' severe storm corridor. Hail, high winds, and heavy rainfall are annual events. We install shingles rated for winds up to 130 mph and recommend impact-resistant products for homeowners who want the best possible storm protection — and the insurance discounts that often come with them.
