ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOFING · COLUMBIA, SC & ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA
Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Columbia, SC
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roof in South Carolina for good reason — they balance cost, durability, and curb appeal. 247 Roofs installs, repairs, and replaces architectural asphalt shingle roofs across the Midlands and the whole state, with 24/7 emergency response when a storm tears one open.
Why Asphalt Shingles
The Right Shingle for South Carolina Homes
Drive through almost any neighborhood in Columbia, Lexington, Irmo, or Blythewood and you’ll see asphalt shingles overhead. They dominate the South Carolina market because they deliver a lot of roof for the money, come in dozens of colors and profiles, and — when installed correctly — hold up well to the Midlands’ hot, humid summers and the hail-bearing thunderstorms that roll through every spring and summer.
247 Roofs installs architectural (dimensional) asphalt shingles as our standard because they’re thicker, last longer, and carry higher wind ratings than the old three-tab style. On coastal homes near Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and Hilton Head, we specify wind-rated shingles with enhanced nailing patterns and sealed edges to stand up to hurricane-force gusts and salt-laden air. Inland, we lean on algae-resistant shingles that resist the dark streaking our humidity encourages. Whatever your ZIP code, we match the shingle to your climate, your home, and your budget — and we back the install with manufacturer and workmanship warranties.

Asphalt Shingle FAQ
Shingle Roofing Questions, Answered
How much does an asphalt shingle roof cost in Columbia, SC?
Most single-family asphalt shingle replacements in South Carolina run roughly $8,000–$18,000 depending on size, pitch, and shingle grade, with many architectural-shingle roofs landing around $10,000–$16,000. We give you an exact written price after a free inspection.
How long do asphalt shingles last in South Carolina?
Architectural asphalt shingles typically last 20–30 years here, though intense sun, humidity, and storm exposure can shorten that. Good attic ventilation and prompt repairs make a real difference in how long yours lasts.
Can you just repair my shingle roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the damage is isolated and your roof is relatively young, a targeted repair is usually the smart call. Widespread granule loss or storm damage across the roof often makes replacement more cost-effective. We’ll give you an honest read.
Are the black streaks on my shingles a problem?
Those streaks are algae, common in SC’s humidity. They’re mostly cosmetic but can be avoided with algae-resistant shingles on your next roof. We can advise on cleaning versus replacement during your inspection.
Do you offer financing for a new shingle roof?
Yes — financing is available so a new roof fits your budget. See our financing page or ask about options when you request your free estimate.
