Expert Roofing for Forest Acres' Classic Neighborhoods

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.

Forest Acres Roofing FAQs

Roof replacement costs in Forest Acres typically range from $9,000 to $27,000, depending on the size of the home, materials selected, and roof complexity. Many Forest Acres homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s and feature lower-pitch rooflines with relatively straightforward designs, which can keep costs on the lower end. However, homes that have been expanded or renovated over the decades may have more complex rooflines with added dormers, valleys, or mixed materials that increase the scope of work. We provide free, transparent estimates that include premium TAMKO materials, our 15-year craftsmanship guarantee, and full project management.
Forest Acres' mid-century homes — many built between the 1950s and 1970s — have unique roofing considerations. Original roof decking may be plank-style rather than modern plywood or OSB, which requires careful assessment and sometimes reinforcement before new shingles are installed. Older attic ventilation systems often fall short of current standards, trapping heat and moisture that accelerate shingle wear. Many of these homes have also been through multiple roof layers over the decades, meaning a full tear-off down to the deck is usually the best approach. As a TAMKO Diamond Elite contractor, we address all of these factors during our free inspection and provide a detailed scope of work tailored to your home's specific age and condition.
Forest Acres earns its name — the neighborhood is defined by its dense, mature tree canopy of oaks, pines, and hardwoods. While beautiful, these trees create several roofing challenges. Falling branches and limbs cause direct impact damage, especially during storms. Accumulated leaves, pine needles, and organic debris trap moisture on the roof surface and in gutters, promoting algae and moss growth that deteriorates shingles over time. Overhanging branches also shade roof surfaces, keeping them damp longer and reducing the natural drying that extends shingle life. Our roofing maintenance plans are especially valuable in Forest Acres — regular inspections and debris clearing help prevent the slow, hidden damage that tree coverage causes over time.
