Repairing Wind Damage the Way Coastal Code Requires
Every asphalt shingle depends on a heat-activated strip of adhesive. Once wind breaks it, that shingle is a flap.
Coastal Horry County is built to a 130 mph ultimate design wind speed, and that number isn't decoration. It sets which shingles are allowed, how many nails go into each one, and where they have to land on the shingle. When we repair wind damage, we refasten to that schedule rather than matching whatever the original installer felt like doing.
The other half of the job is the perimeter. Eaves, rakes, and corners see the highest uplift on any roof, and they're where nearly every peel we've repaired from Surfside to Little River began. Proper starter strip, sound drip edge, and correct nail placement at those edges do more for wind performance than the shingle brand ever will.

After a Blow
Wind Damage Grand Strand Roofs Keep Showing Us
Half of these are invisible from the ground, which is exactly why they get missed.
-
Tabs Creased at the Fold Line
The shingle went up, bent, and came back down. That crease will crack open.
-
Ridge Caps Lifted or Gone
Caps sit in the highest-pressure zone and take the first real hit every time.
-
Rake Metal Peeled Back
Once the gable edge lifts, wind gets under the field shingles behind it.
-
Whole Courses Missing at the Eave
A failed starter strip lets the bottom row go, and the rows above follow.
-
Shingle Pieces in the Yard
Debris on the ground means something up there came apart, not just loosened.

Wind on This Coast
What Onshore Wind Does to Myrtle Beach Roofs
Six local realities behind the wind repairs we run most often.
130 MPH Ultimate Design Speed
Coastal Horry County code assumes gusts most inland roofs never face.
Nothing Blocking the Ocean
Beachfront and second-row homes take unobstructed onshore wind year round.
Corner Suction Zones
Uplift multiplies at roof corners, where peeling almost always begins.
ASTM Wind Ratings
D7158 and D3161 ratings decide which shingles are legal on this coast.
Six Nails, Not Four
High-wind fastening means more nails placed exactly on the nail line.
Tall, Complex Rooflines
Three-story beach homes and steep gables catch far more wind than a low ranch.

Wind Damage Reviews From Coastal Homeowners
"Replacing our roof felt like a big project, but the team made the process easy to follow. They answered our questions, walked us through the options, and the finished roof looks great."
"We had a leak that showed up during heavy rain, and they helped us understand where it was coming from. The estimate was clear, and getting the repair scheduled was straightforward. A good experience overall."
Wind FAQs
What Wind Actually Does to a Roof
Yes, and this is the most misunderstood part of wind damage. A gust lifts the tab, breaks the factory seal strip, and lays it back down looking untouched. It's now a loose flap waiting for the next storm, and it will not reseal on its own.
