South Carolina's climate puts significant stress on roof shingles. The relentless sun can cause them to degrade and crack over time. High humidity can lead to mold and mildew growth, weakening the shingles and the underlying roof structure. During hurricane season, high winds and heavy rains can cause severe damage, lifting or tearing shingles away.
