What are common roofing issues?

Your roofing system is going to experience issues at some point. Routine inspections and roof maintenance are essential in spotting problems before they escalate into costly repairs.

During your inspection, keep an eye out for the following common roofing problems.

One of the most common roofing problems you may encounter is shingle damage or wear and tear. The average life span of asphalt shingles is 20–30 years. However, exposure to harsh weather, wind, rain and ultraviolet radiation over time can cause erosion and cracking or lifting. Curled, cracked or missing shingles can lead to leaks, mold and structural decay by letting in moisture.

Flashing—the metal sheets around a roof's vents, dormers and joints—redirects snowmelt and runoff away from vulnerable seams and transition points. Flashing failure is when water leaks through your roof because of deterioration or improper installation. Signs of flashing failure include drips from ceilings that align with flashing seams, peeling paint, sagging areas, leaks coming from joints or moisture stains.

Roof leaks occur when sealed joints, such as seams and flashing, shift and allow water in. Early detection and repair stop mold and decay from happening.

Insufficient insulation in your attic can cause costly roofing issues and extreme temperatures in your home. Proper insulation is more energy efficient and can yield significant energy savings year-round, especially in Goose Creek with higher energy costs on average.

Standing water often happens when your roof's decking has low areas and accumulated debris. Your roof can start rotting if the water persests for more than 48 hours. It also places major weight stress on your roof. Standing water can point to a need to replace the roof surface to correct the slope or drainage. Clear away debris on a regular basis and make sure there's proper drainage to prevent these issues.

How long are roofs supposed to last?

Several factors, such as your maintenance frequency, quality of installation, climate and roof material influence your roof's life expectancy. Installation quality plays the biggest part in determining how long your roof will last.

Asphalt shingles last 20–30 years on average, but the type of shingle will impact the life span. Architectural shingles can last up to 25–30 years, and traditional three-tab shingles usually last 15–20 years. Well-maintained shake roofs or wood shingles last around 20–25 years, but they can face mold, rot and insects.

Concrete, metal and slate are some of the most durable roofing materials. Metal typically lasts 40–70 years or more. Concrete roofs generally last 50 years or up to a century with proper maintenance. Slate roofs can last for over a century.

How can you save money on a Goose Creek roof repair?

Roof repairs will typically be expensive, but there are things that can help you save money on the service.

Work, live, shop and play — a planned Goose Creek complex could set a precedent for the city’s growth.

JJR Development LLC has unveiled plans for a 3-acre mixed use development on the vacant Super Carpets site on Highway 52.

The project will be part of the Central Creek Destination District that officials hope will provide a family-friendly, downtown-like area where residents can stay within the city for entertainment.

Phase one, which is still in refinement, will include a 4-story building with 111 rental units expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Mayor Greg Habib said the city is conscientious about large developments and how they fit into overall plans, but at the same time infrastructure needs to grow to keep the city alive.

“This project is really the first of its kind in Goose Creek,” Habib said last week. “It imitates a lot of other projects that have happened in Mount Pleasant and west of the Ashley where housing, retail, residential and office have been put in one place.”

Goose Creek has a long-term vision to create destination districts, and Habib said this project in particular “will transform what happens next” in Goose Creek.

“I think once people see this project be successful, it will lead to other redevelopment projects where density makes sense,” Habib said.

The building itself is contemporary, designed to introduce “new architectural context” to the city, according to Jeffrey Roberts, managing member of JJR Development.

“We think this site at the old carpet store site is such an important piece of land that makes a statement that Goose Creek is growing up now,” Roberts said.

Convenient addition

A new convenience store is coming to the Nexton community near Summerville.

Encore Development paid nearly $3.3 million for the 3.2-acre site at Nexton Parkway and Scholar Way for the development of a 7-Eleven, car wash and other retail uses, according to the commercial real estate firm NAI Charleston.

The property is within a couple of blocks of two supermarkets being built by Harris Teeter and Publix. First Citizens Bank & Trust Co., which has a branch next door, was the seller.

Next act

The first phase of redevelopment plans for the darkened Cinebarre movie theater property in Mount Pleasant have been laid out.

Charlotte-based Collett Capital‘s preliminary proposal calls for two 100,000-square-foot street-side office structures to be built on the Houston Northcutt Boulevard property. The designs, presented before a town review board for commercial real estate projects, are still being finalized.

If approved, the first phase would include a single building with 90,000 square feet of office space and 10,000 square feet of retail along the streetside of the property. Plans also include an adjacent greenspace with walkable paths, seating and a pavilion for live events.

Phase two would include a second building of equal size and a 500-space garage in the back where the vacant Cinebarre building currently stands. The rest of the property will be used for parking.

Regal Cinemas closed the full-service theater, where moviegoers could order food and drinks while they took in a show, in late 2021. It then sold the property to Collett and another investor for $14.25 million.

Summer sublease

Blackbaud Inc. is getting a new corporate tenant this summer when Charleston Regional Development Alliance moves into part of its Daniel Island headquarters.

The group has subleased nearly 7,000 square feet of space within the software company’s 172,000-square-foot home office at 65 Fairchild St.

The rental suite will serve as the new base for the economic development organization’s 14 employees when the 10-year lease on its Belle Oaks Drive location in North Charleston expires in May.

The decision to move to Daniel Island, which is in the city of Charleston and Berkeley County, was less about the geographic area and more about the building itself, said Karen Kuchenbecker, vice president of operations for the alliance.

“The way that the building was developed and all the bells and whistles and amenities, etcetera — you just don’t find that type of building for lease every day,” Kuchenbecker said.

CRDA’s plan is to be fully operational in its new space on June 1.

Blackbaud completed its newly built headquarters about five years ago. Its need for office space greatly diminished when the technology company switched to a remote workplace model during the pandemic in late 2021.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Morgan Kirkland, a native of Goose Creek, serves the U.S. Navy and is assigned to Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron (VRM) 30.

Kirkland graduated from Stratford High School in 2022.

The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those in Goose Creek.

“My hometown is full of veterans and active duty personnel,” Kirkland said. “I was always around someone who served and told me all the benefits the Navy had to offer.”

Kirkland joined the Navy one year ago. Today, he serves as an information systems technician.

“I joined the Navy for a better life and to develop skills I knew I could use for the rest of it,” Kirkland said. “I wanted more than my hometown had to offer me.”

Members of VRM 30 fly and maintain the CMV-22B Osprey, a vertical takeoff and landing tilt-rotor aircraft. Compared to the C-2A Greyhound, VRM aircraft have increased operational range, faster cargo loading and unloading, improved survivability and enhanced communications.

With 90% of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials continue to emphasize the prosperity of the United States is directly linked to recruiting and retaining talented people from across America.

“We will earn and reinforce the trust and confidence of the American people every day,” said Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti. “Together, we will deliver the Navy the nation needs.”

Kirkland has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.

“I am most proud to say that in my first year, I was able to put my head down, graduate from technical school and arrive at my first command making a good first impression,” Kirkland said.

Kirkland serves a Navy that operates far forward, around the world and around the clock, promoting the nation’s prosperity and security.

“Serving in the Navy means working as a team for the betterment of each sailor and the overall country,” he said. “We protect the nation and the seas of the world. We go places others can’t and do what they can’t.”

Kirkland is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.

“I would like to thank my brother, Raven, for being my biggest supporter and being a role model throughout my career,” Kirkland said. “If you are an individual who is looking to better your life in terms of job opportunity or education, the Navy provides you with a solid base and starting point to set you up for success later in life.”

GBT Realty Corp. will build the latest housing development in Goose Creek in Summerville. GBT’s The Village at Carnes Crossroads brings 306 multifamily homes and over 11,000 square feet of retail to the heart of the Lowcountry lifestyle community, according to a news release.

GBT acquired the 11.82-acre site earlier this month from Carnes Crossroads Association, the master developer of Carnes Crossroads, according to a news release. JLL Capital Markets arranged construction financing with Bank of America and Meta Real Estate Partners. JLL’s Managing Directors Matt Stewart and Chip Sykes, and Director Wyatt Strahan represented GBT Realty.

“This is a lifestyle community that epitomizes the best of southern living,” said Barry Yoeckel, vice president, multifamily development, GBT Realty, in the release. “The Village adds a living environment that appeals to young professionals, growing families and empty nesters alike. We designed and planned our community to enhance and connect with the surrounding Carnes Crossroads neighborhoods.”

The rental homes are located at the intersection of Highway 17-A and Third Avenue, immediately across from The Marketplace at Carnes Crossroads, a Publix-anchored mixed-use development that is currently under construction.

The development team includes Atlanta-based Dynamik Design, Thomas & Hutton (civil engineering) and Samet Corporation (general contractor).

“Our plans feature upscale homes and best-in-class amenities that stretch across 11 buildings on the site,” Yoeckel said.

Floorplans offer a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units with upscale finishes, the release stated. Community amenities include separate small- and large-breed dog parks, a resort-style saltwater pool with lounge deck, an outdoor kitchen set on a community lawn, a club room with catering kitchen and golf stimulator, a state-of-the-art fitness complex and a co-working center. A coffee purveyor is set to bring classic specialties to The Village as well as the community at large.

The first units are expected to be available spring 2025.

GOOSE CREEK, S.C. (WCSC) - One Goose Creek barber college is making an impact on both hair and history.

Even at 82 years old, Howard Boyd is built for barbering. You could say it’s in his blood. Boyd’s father, a barber, was his first teacher.

“He used to cut hair on the porch—front porch and he was telling me how to cut his hair,” Boyd said. “So, I ended up cutting his hair and he turned the clippers over to me and said, ‘Hey, you need to—you can take it from here. You can have it.’”

Beyond that feeling of a fresh fade, it’s Boyd’s legacy that will live on. He’s the founder of the first Black-owned barber college in the state of South Carolina.

“It was just a three-bedroom building which we stayed. My family lived here. That was the kitchen. And right downstairs here, which is the garage carport, we were able to start the garage barbershop,” Boyd said.

Since its founding in 1986, Goose Creek Barber & Styling College, which is now Howard’s Barber & Styling College, has trained about one thousand students, according to Boyd.

“Just the work I’ve done speaks for me,” he said.

Former students like Jessie Washington, Kenyatta Grimmage and Jermaine Scott have all gone through the college and have made barbering an integral part of their own lives.

“In 1996, I was able to open the first female, African-American barbershop in Goose Creek, South Carolina,” Jessie Washington said. “I’d just like to thank Mr. Howard for having the vision to help others.”

“We give free haircuts at the College of Charleston, where you know, I’m the Associate Director of Admissions down there,” Grimmage said, who also happens to be Boyd’s son-in-law. “We do a program called Cuts and Conversations where we have conversations with young men.”

“It was like how can I step up my game and be like this guy whose name just rings bells throughout the whole community?” Scott said.

Washington, Grimmage and Scott are now instructors at Howard’s Barber & Styling College, working alongside Boyd to teach the next generation of hair artists and entrepreneurs.

“It’s work. Work. You have to continue to work. You have to have a passion for it. You know it’s nonstop, when it’s good or when it’s bad,” Boyd laughed. “But you still work. You keep the faith and it works out. Trust me.”
