Hail History Around Florence: South Carolina
Florence sits in a documented hail corridor even when the season is calm: the 10-year NOAA record for South Carolina stands at 9 events, topping out at 2.00″ hail with activity as recent as 2024. No reports have hit the 25-mile radius in the last 90 days.
Older hail damage is easy to miss from the ground and often still insurance-relevant if your roof predates the storm. Check your address against NOAA records or .

Common Roofing Problems in Florence
Most roofing work in Florence comes down to age and ordinary wear rather than dramatic storm damage. Sun, heat, and steady moisture break down asphalt shingles over 15–25 years, and small problems tend to hide until they cause a leak. Catching them during a routine roof inspection costs far less than a water-damaged ceiling.
The issues local roofers run into most:
- Cracked or curling shingles — UV exposure makes asphalt brittle, especially on south-facing slopes.
- Worn flashing — the metal around chimneys, skylights, and valleys is where leaks usually start.
- Clogged or sagging gutters — water that can't drain works under the roof edge and into the fascia.
- Moss or algae streaks — common on shaded roofs and a sign moisture is sitting too long.
An inspection every few years catches these early, while they are still a repair instead of a full replacement.
Choosing the Right Roof for Florence's Climate
For most Florence homes, architectural (dimensional) asphalt shingles are the practical pick: a little more than basic 3-tab shingles, but they last 25–30 years and handle wind better. If you plan to stay put, metal roofing pays off over a 40–70 year lifespan and trims summer cooling bills. Quality underlayment and attic ventilation extend any roof's life and are easy to miss when comparing quotes.
When getting quotes, ask each contractor to itemize materials, labor, tear-off, and disposal as separate line items — that is the only reliable way to compare bids when contractors use different shingle grades or underlayment specs. A local roofer will walk the slope and price the job based on the actual pitch and square footage.
How to Vet a Roofer in South Carolina: Licensing & Permits

South Carolina: Licensing varies

Roofing in Florence: Local Conditions
Florence has a relatively low storm-risk profile compared to other South Carolina markets, though age and UV exposure still degrade shingles over time. Most local contractors recommend a professional inspection every 3–5 years.

Florence sits at the northeastern edge of South Carolina's Pee Dee region, where weakening tropical systems from the Atlantic coast still deliver damaging wind and heavy rain. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 caused widespread roof destruction 70 miles inland, and Florence County experienced major roof losses from Hurricane Matthew (2016) and Florence (2018), the latter named coincidentally for the city it hit hardest.
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.
Labor and material costs in Florence reflect a more affordable market relative to national averages, which can mean better value for larger projects like full replacements. Use the pricing table above for ballpark figures, and get a free quote to get a number specific to your roof.
