Frequently Asked Questions

Most roofs in the Myrtle Beach area last between 15 and 25 years, depending on the materials used, maintenance, and exposure to coastal weather conditions. Asphalt shingles tend to last around 20 years, while metal or tile roofs may last longer. Routine inspections and cleanings help extend your roof’s lifespan.

Common signs include missing or curled shingles, sagging areas, daylight through the attic, granules in gutters, frequent leaks, and visible damage from storms. If your roof is over 15 years old and showing wear, it may be time to consult a professional.

If the damage is limited to a small area, such as a few missing shingles or a minor leak, a repair may suffice. However, widespread damage, poor ventilation, or an aging roof often requires a full replacement. A professional inspection can help you decide.

Yes, roof replacements can happen in winter. In fact, off-season replacements can sometimes be scheduled more quickly. Experienced contractors like Linta Roofing ensure proper techniques and weather protection measures are in place to avoid issues during colder or wetter seasons.

We recommend having your roof inspected at least once per year—and especially after severe storms or hurricanes. Inspections help detect small issues before they become expensive repairs.

Maintenance includes keeping gutters clear, removing debris, scheduling professional cleanings every 1–3 years, and addressing small repairs like popped nails or flashing issues quickly. Regular maintenance preserves the longevity and performance of your roofing system.

It’s generally not recommended unless necessary. Walking on the roof can cause damage to shingles or tiles and is dangerous without the proper safety equipment.

Look for local, licensed, and insured contractors with strong reviews and a track record of quality workmanship. Ask for references, understand the warranty, and ensure the company handles permits and cleanup.
