Forest Acres, SC Roofing Contractor — Sands Roofing & Construction

Forest Acres is one of the most desirable addresses in the Columbia metro area — an affluent, tree-covered enclave nestled entirely within the City of Columbia in Richland County. Known for its mature oak and pine canopy, walkable streets, and mid-century homes with real character, Forest Acres attracts families, professionals, and retirees who value established neighborhoods over new subdivision living. Shopping destinations like Trenholm Plaza and the Richland Mall corridor give the area a neighborhood-center feel, while Forest Drive connects residents to downtown Columbia in minutes. Many homes here were built between the 1950s and 1970s, meaning a significant number are approaching or past the point where a roof replacement becomes essential.

Forest Acres' defining feature — its dense tree canopy — is also its biggest roofing challenge. Overhanging branches, falling limbs, accumulated pine straw and leaf debris, and persistent shade create conditions that accelerate shingle wear, promote moss and algae growth, and clog gutters faster than in open-canopy neighborhoods. Add in the Midlands' hot, humid summers and severe thunderstorms, and Forest Acres roofs need materials and maintenance built for the conditions. As the Midlands' only TAMKO Diamond Elite contractor, Sands Roofing & Construction installs Heritage architectural shingles with algae-resistant technology and wind ratings up to 130 mph, backed by our 15-year craftsmanship guarantee and the TAMKO Diamond Shield warranty.
