What weather does to a Florence roof
- Freeze-thaw days. Water gets under shingles at night and expands as ice.
- Days at 90F or hotter. Heat bakes the oils out of asphalt and loosens sealant strips.
- Days with an inch of rain. Heavy rain tests flashing, valleys and gutters.
- Yearly precipitation. More water means more years of wet decking.

Florence roof bill in weeks of pay

Myrtle Beach ($10,600 typical, 63 miles away) takes 10.3 weeks of its own pay, 1.7 weeks more than Florence.
119 of 208 other cities ask for more, 89 for less.
Sum for Florence: $9,350 ÷ ($56,433 ÷ 52) = 8.6 weeks.
Source: Census ACS (Florence city), 2019–2023Repair or replace in Florence
The median Florence home was built in 1982, so an original roof would be 44 years old, past the 25–30 years architectural shingles are rated for. Here a repair mostly buys time. 48% of Florence homes predate 1980, so some roofs on the street are second or third generation.
| Job | Cost | Weeks of pay |
|---|---|---|
| Small repair in Florence | $550 | 0.51 |
| Larger repair in Florence | $2,500 | 2.3 |
| Half of a new roof (50% rule) in Florence | $4,700 | 4.3 |
| One year of roof life in Florence | $340 | 0.31 |
The last row prices one year of roof life in Florence: a typical architectural roof divided by its rated 25–30 years. A repair is worth paying for when it buys at least as many years as its cost divided by that figure. The 50% rule is a common rule of thumb, not a law.
