New construction roofing is a different job than residential repair or replacement. The work itself is similar, but the way the job runs — coordination with the GC, scheduling around other trades, inspection timing, change orders, warranty hand-off — is different.
What a builder should expect from a roofing partner
Schedule reliability
The roofing crew shows up when the schedule says they will. If the build is ready for roofing on Tuesday, the crew is there Tuesday morning. If weather pushes things, the crew is there the next clear day. No vanishing acts.
Direct communication with the superintendent
The super does not call a national 800 number. They have a real person they can text or call, and that person answers.
Clean job sites
The crew picks up after themselves every day. Your concrete guy, your siding guy, and your interior trades do not trip over our debris.
Quick written change orders
When the spec changes mid-build, we send a written quote on the change, you sign off, and we keep moving. No surprises, no day-long arguments about scope.
Documentation that goes to the buyer
Manufacturer warranty paperwork plus workmanship warranty paperwork, both in writing. The GC hands these to the buyer at closing with the rest of the packet.
Coastal Carolina specifics
New construction roofing on the Grand Strand has to be specced for coastal exposure from day one. That means rated underlayment, properly detailed flashing, fasteners that resist salt corrosion, and shingles rated for the wind exposure of the area.
Waccamaw Roofing, LLC partners with Grand Strand homebuilders and GCs on production builds, custom homes, and additions. Same standards on a phase of forty as on a single spec house.
