West Columbia, SC Roofing Contractor — Sands Roofing & Construction

West Columbia and neighboring Cayce sit just across the Congaree River from downtown Columbia, making them some of the most conveniently located communities in the Midlands. The area is experiencing a renaissance — the revitalized State Street and Meeting Street corridors have brought new restaurants, shops, and energy to a community with deep roots and a strong sense of identity.

West Columbia's housing stock reflects its history. Mid-century homes built in the 1950s through 1980s fill neighborhoods like Triangle City and Brookland, many still sitting on their original or second-generation roofs. Newer construction has expanded along the Airport Boulevard corridor and into Springdale, bringing modern floor plans that often shipped with builder-grade materials. Whether your home is a 1960s ranch or a brand-new build, your roof faces the same Midlands weather — and it needs a contractor who understands both.

Sands Roofing & Construction is based in nearby Lexington, just 10 minutes from West Columbia. As the Midlands' only TAMKO Diamond Elite contractor, we bring the highest standard of roofing materials and installation to every West Columbia project — from a simple repair on your mid-century ranch to a complete replacement for your growing family's home.

Triangle City & Brookland neighborhoods were largely built in the 1950s through 1980s, and many of these homes still have roofing from the same era. Shingles that are 30 to 40+ years old are well past their expected lifespan and are likely allowing moisture intrusion even if they look acceptable from the ground. Our inspectors can tell you exactly where your roof stands — and it will not cost you a penny to find out.

Airport Boulevard corridor has seen steady residential and commercial growth. Newer homes in this area benefit from modern building codes but often have builder-grade three-tab shingles that will need replacement within 15 to 20 years. Upgrading to TAMKO Heritage architectural shingles extends your roof's lifespan and adds real value to your property.

Cayce sits between West Columbia and the Congaree River, and many properties in lower-elevation sections deal with additional moisture and drainage challenges. Proper roof drainage through well-designed gutters, downspouts, and gutter guards is essential to prevent water from pooling, reduce foundation damage risk, and protect your home from moisture intrusion.

Flood and drainage considerations: West Columbia's location along the Congaree River means that proper roof drainage is not just important — it is critical. We assess every roof's slope, gutter system, and downspout placement to ensure rainwater moves away from your foundation. Proper attic ventilation also prevents moisture buildup, which is especially important in humid river-bottom climates.
