Parts of Lexington we drive

People place a Lexington house a few different ways. Those areas are one service area for us. There is no Ole South office on Main Street. The trucks leave Pelion.

• Downtown and US 1. The county seat, Main Street, and the highway through town. An older roof and a house that has already been replaced once can sit on the same block.
• The I-20 side. Subdivisions and collector roads. A newer roof and a tired one share streets out here. The house next door is not a quote.
• South, on the way home. Platt Springs Road, Red Bank, and the White Knoll area point back toward Pelion. Pines are thicker. Troughs fill with straw before the shingles look finished.
• North, on the lake side. Lake Murray is the landmark people use. It is not a trade we sell. Docks are someone else’s work. Ours is the house: roof, eaves, walls, a deck or porch, a kitchen, or a bath.
• Toward the interstate. Saxe Gotha and the roads that continue to West Columbia and Cayce. Those two have their own pages. Gilbert sits the other way, southwest of town.

Heat, hail, and the south-side pines

A Lexington roof takes a Midlands summer. Asphalt holds the heat, then an afternoon storm arrives. Hail rides with that weather. On the south side the trough is often already full of pine straw, and a shaded fascia stays damp when water sheets over it instead of leaving the lot. That pair of problems — the field and the eave — is why the visit looks at both. A 130-mph wind-rated architectural shingle is the practical shingle we will talk through, after the deck has been seen.

On houses like these, architectural shingles typically run 25–30 years. Standing seam, or metal shingles, typically runs 40–60. Those are lifespans. If you need a product name or a manufacturer certification on the paperwork, ask at the house and it goes on the estimate. One isolated leak on a roof under 15 years is usually a repair. Trouble spread across a roof at 20 years or older is usually a replacement, and we will say which one yours is while we are there.

How the Lexington estimate goes

Call (803) 265-5645 or send the estimate form. We answer within one business day. Office hours are Monday through Saturday, 7 to 5. An active leak after those hours uses the same number. This site does not list a Lexington street for the company, and it does not give a price from a photo.

We set the time, come out, and look. The free written estimate lists scope, materials, and price. A full replacement in Lexington County is a permit we pull. Once tear-off starts, most of those roofs take 1–2 days, and a complicated one can take up to 3. That is the usual pace, not a guarantee for every lot.

If a storm opened a claim, you remain the policyholder. We document the damage and work with the claim. The deductible stays with you. Waiving it, or calling it covered, is insurance fraud in South Carolina.

When the walls are in the same water problem, fiber cement is the siding we recommend once we have seen them. A kitchen with this crew typically runs 4–8 weeks. A bath typically runs 2–4. Brian Jolly owns the company. George Boulware leads the building and has been remodeling South Carolina homes for over fifty years.

Read Columbia next if that is the other address in the family. Every town we name is on the service-area page.
