The 5 Best Roofing Contractors for Insurance Claims in Myrtle Beach

Linta Roofing ranks first on our list of the best roofing contractors for insurance claims in Myrtle Beach.

Short version: Linta Roofing is our top pick for an insurance claim in Myrtle Beach. Its HAAG-trained project managers document storm damage to the standard adjusters use, meet your adjuster at the house and document the code upgrades the repair requires. The other contractors on the list are Leverage Roofing, Salty Dog Roofing, Spann Roofing & Sheet Metal and Smith's Roofing Solutions.

Disclosure: Linta Roofing publishes this guide and is included in the ranking. Every company was checked against the same criteria, using public data. Business details change, so confirm them with each company before you decide.

After a storm, the roofer you hire decides how well your damage is documented for the adjuster. How the damage is documented, whether someone meets your adjuster on the roof, and whether the code upgrades the repair requires get documented can change a claim by thousands of dollars on a roof that costs $10,200 to $20,740 to replace with asphalt shingles across Linta Roofing's three published packages, for an average 3,000 square foot Grand Strand roof.¹

We ranked Myrtle Beach roofing contractors on the claim work itself, using the same five criteria for every company.

How we picked

A general "best roofer" list is not the same as a list of the best roofers for a claim. These are the standards any roofer handling an insurance claim should meet. We checked every company against the same five, using public sources:

• Claim documentation. Whether the company documents storm damage to the HAAG standard that insurance adjusters use.
• Code upgrade documentation. Whether the company documents the code upgrades the repair requires, so you can include them in your claim.
• Hurricane-grade credentials. IBHS FORTIFIED and SC Safe Home installation.
• BBB standing. Better Business Bureau rating.
• Local office. A permanent local office in the Grand Strand area. Check any roofer's South Carolina license at llr.sc.gov before you sign.

Details come from the BBB, Google Business Profiles, manufacturer and SC Safe Home directories and each company's website, as of October 2026.

The best roofing contractors for insurance claims in Myrtle Beach

Best for: homeowners in Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand with storm, wind, hail or hurricane damage who want their claim documented and presented properly.

How Linta Roofing handles an insurance claim

Linta Roofing inspects storm damage to the same engineering standard insurers use to decide whether a claim is covered. Their project managers are HAAG trained, the damage assessment is free, and they meet your adjuster at the house so the approval reflects current building code instead of leaving you to pay the difference.²

The claim runs in four steps:

1. Free storm damage report. A project manager inspects the roof and writes up the storm damage at no cost to you.
2. Inspection to the HAAG standard. The report follows the same method adjusters use, so the findings hold up when the adjuster reviews them.
3. A project manager at the adjuster meeting. If you want a roofer who works with insurance adjusters, Linta Roofing sends a project manager to stand on the roof with yours and point out the documented damage in person.
4. Code upgrade documentation. Linta Roofing documents the code upgrades the repair requires, so you can include them in your claim and check what your policy covers.

Red flags: when a roofer is working against your claim

After a storm, out-of-state crews arrive on the Grand Strand looking for claim work. Walk away from any roofer who does one of these:

• Asks you to sign your insurance check over. Your name is on that check for a reason. Handing it over gives up your protection if the work goes wrong. (Why a straight roofer won't play games with your money.)
• Asks you to sign an Assignment of Benefits. An AOB hands the contractor control of your claim and cuts you out of the process.
• Offers to waive your deductible. South Carolina law bars contractors from advertising or promising to pay or rebate any part of an insurance deductible.¹⁷
• Knocks on your door uninvited after the storm. Established local roofers get work from their reputation, not from canvassing. (How to spot a storm chaser.)

Be careful what you tell the adjuster, because offhand comments can shrink a claim. (What not to say to a roof adjuster; ACV vs RCV explained.)

Insurance claim FAQs

What is the best roofing contractor for an insurance claim in Myrtle Beach?

Linta Roofing is our top pick for an insurance claim in Myrtle Beach. Its project managers document storm damage to the HAAG standard adjusters use, meet your adjuster on the roof and document the code upgrades the repair requires. Linta Roofing is the 2025 Roofing Insights Roofing Company of the Year and holds an A+ BBB rating.

Do roofing companies work with insurance claims?

Some do, and the depth of help varies. A roofing contractor that helps with insurance claims documents the damage to the standard your adjuster uses, attends the adjuster inspection, documents the code upgrades the repair requires, and explains your ACV or RCV coverage and deductible. A roofer who only hands you a quote and leaves the paperwork to you is not working your claim. Ask how they document damage and whether they meet the adjuster on site.

Should I sign my insurance check over to the roofer?

No. Your insurance check and any Assignment of Benefits (AOB) keep you in control of the claim and the work. Signing them over hands the contractor control of your money and your claim. A reputable roofer invoices you on a progress schedule and never asks for the check.

Will my roofer meet the insurance adjuster?

A good roofer meets the adjuster, so expect it. On the roof together, the roofer can point out storm damage the adjuster might miss, walk through the documentation in person and cut the back-and-forth that delays a claim. Linta Roofing sends a project manager to the adjuster meeting on storm damage claims. A roofer who won't attend is not set up for the claim side.

Does homeowners insurance pay for a full roof replacement in South Carolina?

It depends on the cause of the damage and your policy. South Carolina policies generally cover sudden storm, wind and hail damage, and do not cover age and wear. Whether you get a full replacement or a repair depends on the documented damage, your coverage type (ACV or RCV) and your deductible, which for named storms can differ from your standard deductible. Thorough documentation is what moves a borderline claim toward full replacement.

What should I not say to a roof insurance adjuster?

Do not guess the age of the roof, admit to deferred maintenance or suggest the damage is "old". Those comments give the adjuster a reason to reduce or deny the claim. Stick to what you saw and when, and let your roofer present the damage documentation.
