This bracket generally undercuts the numbers, in Charleston and Charlotte while it hovers near, if not a tad below, the levels reported in Greenville. The mix of heat, sticky humidity and the modest mileage workers cover each day keeps the labor market surprisingly competitive.Weather & Climate Considerations
How does Columbia, South Carolina's weather affect roof lifespan?
Columbias blistering, humid summers, 47 inches of rain each year about two inches of snowfall, frequent thunderstorms, seasonal tropical‑storm gusts and a generous dose of sun and UV all conspire to accelerate shingle‑granule loss, warping, mold growth, flashing failures and wind‑driven blow‑offs truncating the roof’s lifespan unless ventilation, flashing and drainage are improved.What is the most common cause of roof damage in Columbia, South Carolina?

Adding a punch falling limbs, from the region’s oaks and pines sometimes crash onto roofs compounding the destruction.What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Columbia, South Carolina?
Up in Columbia’s midlands the spot for swapping out a roof lands in mid‑spring, April into May, or in the middle of autumn, around October when temperatures are mild humidity eases and the odds of sudden afternoon thunderstorms drop. It’s wise to steer clear of the scorching, muggy summer months that bring storms and the peak of hurricane season as well as the biting cold snaps of winter that can thwart proper shingle sealing.Insurance & Storms

In Columbia, SC storm‑related roof claims pop up often with a noticeable peak during the spring severe‑thunderstorm season and again when tropical remnants drift through in the summer‑fall. Out in the Inland Midlands thunderstorms that sweep the Congaree corridor dump wind, hail and fallen trees prompting a surge, in insurance filings after microbursts and the lingering edges of coastal systems.What natural disasters in Columbia, South Carolina cause the most roof replacements?
