Coastal-Tough Roofing Contractors in Folly Beach, SC

Maintaining a commercial building in a coastal town like Folly Beach comes with a unique set of challenges. Between constant salt exposure, strong winds, sun-intense days, and sudden storms, local properties take far more abuse than most people realize. As General Contractors in Folly Beach, SC, we work with business owners who want long-term protection—not another quick patch that fails by the next season. Many connect with us after exploring options like roof recovery, metal roofing, and waterproofing services, and our guides such as the Roof Recovery System, Metal Roofing Services, and our Exterior Waterproofing Services explain these solutions in more detail.


Folly Beach may be known for its relaxed vibe and “Edge of America” charm, but the conditions here are anything but gentle on commercial buildings. High humidity accelerates roof aging, salt spray corrodes surfaces, and unpredictable weather exposes weaknesses fast. That’s why local businesses trust our roofing contractors and general contracting team to deliver durable, strategic building solutions designed for coastal environments—not inland systems that fail prematurely.

Why Choose Us?

Your Local General Contractors in Folly Beach, SC

Property owners in Folly Beach often juggle multiple responsibilities—tenants, compliance, budgeting, maintenance, and seasonal fluctuations in foot traffic. The last thing they want is a construction or roofing project that derails operations. Our process is built around communication, planning, and minimal disruption.


We spend time understanding how each property functions day-to-day so we can schedule work intelligently and prevent avoidable downtime. And when it comes to recommendations, we focus on what makes the most sense structurally and financially, whether that’s a metal roofing upgrade or a liquid applied roofing system for long-term performance. For owners who want to learn more about these options, our full overview of Liquid Applied Roofing Systems is a helpful place to start.

Our Services

Many older buildings throughout Folly Beach still have roofs that can be restored rather than replaced. A Roof Recovery System reinforces the existing structure, adds new protection layers, and extends service life—often without shutting down business operations. This solution is especially valuable for hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, and multi-unit commercial properties along the coast where constant activity makes scheduling downtime difficult.


We’ve completed recovery projects where the owners needed ongoing access for customers and staff, and this system allowed them to continue full operations while upgrading the roof above them.

For coastal durability, metal roofing remains one of the best investments a commercial property can make. Our metal roofing services provide long-lasting, corrosion-resistant protection designed specifically for salt-heavy environments like Folly Beach. Metal roofs perform exceptionally well against wind, temperature swings, and UV exposure, making them ideal for oceanfront businesses.


Property owners frequently tell us the same thing: “I wish I had installed metal years ago.” Between the lifespan, energy savings, and reduced maintenance, metal roofing consistently outperforms traditional systems in coastal weather.

Flat and low-slope commercial roofs are extremely common around Folly Beach, but they also tend to develop leaks faster because of ponding water and membrane degradation. Liquid applied roofing creates a seamless, watertight barrier that eliminates many traditional failure points.


After installing these systems on hotels, commercial kitchens, warehouses, and beachfront shops, owners often report major improvements—no more mid-storm leaks, no more emergency patch jobs, and no more recurring maintenance issues.

Moisture damage is a constant threat in coastal environments. At first, it appears small—maybe a little discoloration, slight cracking, or minor efflorescence—but without proper waterproofing, those symptoms can escalate into structural damage.


Our waterproofing contractors specialize in exterior walls, foundations, decks, walkways, balconies, and other high-exposure surfaces. Each building receives a customized plan based on its materials, age, and exposure level. Some need full coating systems; others need targeted sealing or structural reinforcement. Either way, waterproofing is often the difference between routine upkeep and costly repairs later.

Our general contracting team coordinates everything from renovations to build-outs to structural improvements. Folly Beach businesses often operate seasonally or manage heavy visitor traffic, so we prioritize clear schedules, tight timelines, and reliable project oversight. We handle planning, materials, subcontractors, and quality control from start to finish. For a full breakdown of how we manage these projects, visit our page on General Contracting.


Commercial owners appreciate that we’re hands-on from day one until the final walkthrough—no disappearing crews, no communication gaps, and no unclear expectations.
