Greenville, South Carolina
Greenville is the largest city we serve and the most architecturally mixed. A crew that only knows new construction will struggle here, because the work runs from 1920s bungalows near downtown to subdivisions finished last year.

The median Greenville home dates to 1987, but that number hides the real story: the city holds both pre-1940 housing in its historic districts and a large wave of construction from 2010 onward. Those two extremes need opposite things. A house from the 1920s has plank sheathing, undersized wiring, and original window openings that were never square. A house from 2015 has engineered materials and a roof still under manufacturer warranty, where the useful conversation is ventilation and flashing rather than replacement.
Greenville's mature tree canopy is the detail most contractors underprice. Overhanging limbs hold moisture against roof planes, drop debris into valleys and gutters, and shade the exact roof faces that would otherwise be the best solar candidates. Hail and straight-line wind events add impact damage on top of that.
Residential permits inside the city limits go through the City of Greenville Building and Permit Center. We pull them; you do not chase them.

What that means for the work
Roofing
Tree cover and hail history mean Greenville roofs age unevenly. The north-facing plane under a canopy often fails years before the rest of the roof, which is a repair decision rather than a replacement decision, and we will tell you which one you have.
Windows
Historic-district homes need full-frame replacement with rot repair at the sills, not inserts dropped into openings that have moved. Newer homes are usually straightforward insert work.
Solar
Shade analysis matters more in Greenville than anywhere else we work. We would rather tell you your roof is too shaded to pencil than sell you an array that underproduces.
Remodeling
Older Greenville homes frequently need panel capacity and supply-line work as part of a kitchen or bath project. That gets priced as a contingency up front rather than discovered at demolition.
