Wind Damage Shingle Roof Replacement With TAMKO Titan XT Shingles and Siding Restoration in Mount Pleasant, SC

When homeowners in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina began experiencing multiple interior leaks after a windstorm, they discovered that their aging shingle roof had sustained significant wind damage. Missing shingles and widespread wind creasing had compromised the roofing system, allowing water to enter the home. After documenting the damage, RoofServ helped the homeowners navigate the insurance claims process with State Farm, ultimately securing approval for a full roof replacement.

The project covered approximately 3,200 square feet (32 squares) and included a complete architectural shingle replacement upgraded to TAMKO Titan XT Class 3 shingles, double-layer synthetic underlayment, ice and water barrier in every valley, new drip edge, siding replacement, and interior ceiling repairs — all completed in a single day.

Problem: Securing the Right Roofing Solution After Severe Wind Damage

The roof had sustained extensive wind damage, including multiple missing shingles and numerous wind-creased shingles that could no longer provide reliable weather protection. As a result, water had penetrated the roofing system, causing several interior ceiling leaks throughout the home.

Although the insurance claim was approved, the initial scope only covered replacing the roof with basic 3-tab shingles, a single layer of felt underlayment, and excluded important components such as drip edge. Simply restoring the roof to its previous condition would have left the homeowners with a less durable roofing system than what modern best practices recommend.

Solution: Insurance Expertise Paired With Premium Roofing Upgrades

Our team worked alongside the homeowners from the very beginning of the claims process. After documenting the storm damage, we met with the State Farm adjuster on-site and performed a repairability test that demonstrated the existing roof could not be successfully repaired, leading to approval for a complete roof replacement rather than an inadequate repair.

To provide the homeowners with a longer-lasting and higher-performing roofing system, we invested in several upgrades at our own expense. The approved 3-tab shingles were upgraded to TAMKO Titan XT Class 3 architectural shingles at no additional cost to the homeowners, two layers of synthetic underlayment were installed instead of a single layer of felt, and ice and water barrier was added in every roof valley for enhanced leak protection. New drip edge was installed around the roof perimeter for improved water management, and a significant portion of damaged siding that was not covered by insurance was replaced along with interior ceiling damage caused by previous roof leaks — also not covered by insurance. The entire roofing project was completed in just one day.

Result: A Stronger, Longer-Lasting Roofing System and Complete Peace of Mind

The homeowners received far more than a standard insurance replacement. Instead of reinstalling an entry-level roofing system, they now have a significantly more durable roof designed to better withstand future storms while providing improved moisture protection through upgraded underlayments, valley protection, and proper edge detailing. The repaired siding and restored interior ceilings allowed the home to look and perform like new again.

By meeting with the adjuster, performing a repairability test, and documenting the full extent of the wind damage, we helped secure approval for a complete replacement rather than an inadequate repair. The completed roof is backed by TAMKO’s Base Limited Lifetime Materials Warranty, and our decision to provide premium material upgrades and additional repairs at our own expense reflects our commitment to delivering lasting value — not simply meeting the minimum insurance requirements.
