How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in Florence?
Asphalt-shingle replacement in Florence, South Carolina runs $5,810 to $12,865 (2,000 sq ft, tear-off and underlayment included). That is the national base range scaled by Florence's labor-and-materials index of 0.83× — 17% below what the same job costs nationally, in a county NOAA credits with 9 hail events over the last 10 years.
Florence's economy anchors around healthcare (McLeod Health) and logistics, with a blue-collar roofing market that is highly price-competitive. South Carolina's lack of specific roofing contractor licensing requirements means homeowners should verify general contractor credentials and liability insurance carefully before signing contracts.

Hail History in Florence — and What It Means for Your Roof Budget
County-level NOAA Storm Events archives record 9 hail events near Florence over the past decade — hail reaching 2.00″ at its peak (archive last updated 2024-05-15). Stones that size tear through shingles rather than just bruise them. With 9 events in ten years, Florence homeowners are effectively on an insurance-replacement cycle: any bid should include Class 4 impact-resistant shingles as a line item (10–20% more upfront, often recovered through the insurer premium discount that hail counties typically unlock). Know your wind/hail deductible before the next storm hits, not the day after. Verify your own address risk at hail risk lookup.
Hail Events by Year in Florence's County (NOAA)
| Year | Recorded hail events | Largest hail that year |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2 | 1.50″ |
| 2021 | 1 | 2.00″ |
| 2017 | 2 | 1.00″ |
| 2016 | 4 | 1.00″ |
Put in South Carolina context: Florence's county logged 0.2× the hail-event count of the median South Carolina county we track (44 events over the same 10 years) — a lighter hail record than most of the state, so age and UV wear drive more Florence replacements than storms do.
