In Pawleys Island, heat, humidity, and summer storms set the pace of roof wear.

Over the past 11 years, Georgetown County has recorded 11 hail events (up to 1.75-inch stones), 51 damaging-wind events and 6 tornadoes — exactly the kind of weather that shortens a roof's life and drives sudden repair and replacement calls.

Georgetown County has logged 11 hail events in the last 11 years, some with stones up to 1.75 inches. Hail bruises shingles, knocks loose the protective granules, and cracks aging shingles — damage that often doesn't leak right away but shortens roof life.
Many Pawleys Island homes were built around 1997, so roofs here are commonly 29+ years old — near or past the 20–30 year lifespan of asphalt shingles, when curling, granule loss, and leaks set in.
Humidity and frequent rain around Pawleys Island encourage moss and algae growth and trap moisture, which degrades shingles and decking over time.
