About Collins Roofing and Repair in Myrtle Beach: Everyday Roofing and Storm Roofing on the Grand Strand
Collins Roofing and Repair provides everyday roofing and storm roofing to Myrtle Beach homeowners, landlords and business owners.
We are the same team behind our roofing company in Conway, serving Conway and the surrounding Horry, Florence and Marion County communities for more than 15 years.
Our office on Labonte Street in Conway is about 14 miles from Myrtle Beach in a straight line, and US 501 connects Conway to Myrtle Beach.
Collins Roofing and Repair does not keep a separate Myrtle Beach office. We drive in from Conway for every inspection, and active leaks and storm damage go to the front of the line.
Everyday Roofing in Myrtle Beach
Most of our Myrtle Beach calls are simple and urgent. A vent boot cracks over a bathroom, a skylight drips in a rental between guests, or a 20-year-old shingle roof in Pine Lakes starts shedding granules.
Collins Roofing and Repair finds the entry point from the roof, quotes a roof repair
when a repair will do, and quotes a roof replacement
only when the roof is worn out.
"Josh answered all my questions in detail and did not push. Randall I think was his name, did an excellent repair job plus extras. good clean up."
The other half of our Myrtle Beach work is storm roofing. Wind comes straight off the ocean, and nothing slows it down before it hits the first rows of homes and hotels.
When a storm opens your roof, Collins Roofing and Repair tarps it, photographs the damage and repairs it through our storm damage repair
service.
The Truth About Hiring a Roofer in Myrtle Beach (And How Collins Roofing and Repair Fixes It)
Hiring a roofer in Myrtle Beach is easy. Hiring one who tells you the truth is harder. A tourist town draws more than its share of fly-by-night crews, and every hurricane season brings more.
The Problems Myrtle Beach Homeowners Run Into
01
Storm Chasers After Every Named Storm
After Matthew, Florence and Ian, out-of-town crews worked Myrtle Beach neighborhoods door to door. Many were gone before the first warranty question came up.
How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It
Collins Roofing and Repair is a licensed and insured South Carolina roofing contractor with a permanent office in Conway, and we hand you documentation before work begins. You can read all 71 of our Google reviews
today.
02
Crews Without a City License
The City of Myrtle Beach says any contractor working inside the city needs a City of Myrtle Beach business license, plus a South Carolina license for the trade. A crew that skips this can leave you with work the city never inspected.
How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It
Your service rep confirms whether your address is inside city limits or in unincorporated Horry County, because that decides which office handles the permit.
03
A New Roof Sold From the Driveway
Salt air rusts a single flashing seam or vent cap long before the shingles fail. A roofer who never climbs up will often price a full replacement for a problem a repair would fix.
How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It
We get on the roof, photograph every issue and show you the photos before we talk price. If a repair will do, that's what we quote.
04
Rentals That Can't Wait
Many Myrtle Beach homes and condos are rentals. A leak during the season means a lost booking or an unhappy tenant, so the fix has to be fast and done right the first time.
How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It
Our office schedules most inspections within a few business days, and active leaks go to the front of the line. We take before and after photos you can share with the owner or manager.
"He has also repaired a roof for me and is installing another new roof next week. There is no better company for roofing than this one!"

Sep 21 to 22, 1989
Hurricane Hugo
Low-end hurricane-force wind and widespread damage across the Grand Strand
What Each Myrtle Beach Weather Threat Does to a Roof
Ocean Wind
Wind off the Atlantic lifts shingle edges, breaks the seal strips and peels ridge caps first. Tall homes and hotels along Ocean Boulevard take it hardest, but Matthew's 74 mph gust was measured inland at the airport.
Building Practices That Failed in Hugo
After Hugo in 1989, wind damage across the Grand Strand was blamed on widespread underdesign and marginal building practices. Many Myrtle Beach homes built before 1990 are now on their second or third roof, and how that roof was fastened matters.
Salt Air and Corrosion
Salt spray settles on every metal part of the roof. Exposed nails, vent caps, drip edge and flashing rust out, and water gets in at the rust long before the shingles wear through.
Tropical Rain and Clogged Gutters
Dorian dropped more than 12 inches of rain southwest of the city in 2019. When gutters clog, that water backs up under the shingle edge and rots the decking along the eaves.
Summer Thunderstorms
You don't need a hurricane to lose shingles. The July 11, 2026 storm alone brought a 51 mph gust at the airport and knocked out power to nearly 2,000 customers in Myrtle Beach.

Myrtle Beach Permits, Historic Districts and HOA Rules:
How Collins Roofing and Repair Handles Them
Every Myrtle Beach roof job starts with one question: is the house inside city limits? Myrtle Beach addresses can sit inside the city or in unincorporated Horry County, and each has its own permit office.
Permits are the rule.
The city says the answer to whether you need a permit is "generally, yes," with some exceptions it will confirm by phone.
Licensed contractors only.
Contractors working in the city need a City of Myrtle Beach business license plus a South Carolina trade license.
Where to call.
Construction Services is at 921 N. Oak Street and answers at 843-918-1111.
Inspection timing.
For a morning inspection, the city asks for the request by 4 p.m. the day before.
Current codes.
The city adopted the latest South Carolina mandatory codes, with local implementation starting January 1, 2023.
Storm Damage Still Needs a Permit
After Hurricane Ian in 2022, Myrtle Beach City Council waived building permit fees for Ian repairs for 30 days. The city still required the permit. A city spokesman said, "We still want the permit to make sure everything is done correctly."
Homes Outside City Limits Use Horry County
If your Myrtle Beach mailing address is outside city limits, Horry County Code Enforcement
handles the permit from its office at 1301 Second Avenue in Conway. The county runs permits and inspection requests through its online EnerGov portal.
Historic Districts in Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach has several places on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Myrtle Heights-Oak Park Historic District along North Ocean Boulevard, the Myrtle Beach Downtown Historic District, and the 1927 Ocean Forest Country Club at Pine Lakes.
HOA and Architectural Review in Myrtle Beach Neighborhoods
Planned communities such as Grande Dunes and the neighborhoods around The Market Common typically have their own design rules for roof color and material. Rules differ by community, so check your covenants before you pick a shingle.
How Collins Roofing and Repair Handles It
At your free inspection, your service rep confirms whether the home is inside city limits and asks whether an HOA approval is needed. Your written estimate lists the material and color details your HOA will ask for.

Why Some Myrtle Beach Roofs Cost More
Older beach homes often hide soft decking under two layers of shingles. Rust at flashing and vents adds metal work, and rental or commercial buildings may need work scheduled around guests or business hours.

"Good value. Good workmanship. Good communications. Good cleanup. Good billing. Easy to do business with."
The Georgetown County Building Department in Georgetown handles the Murrells Inlet community. Parcels north of the county line, like Burgess along SC 707, go through Horry County Code Enforcement. Collins Roofing and Repair checks your parcel first.
The answer depends on the county and the scope. In Horry County, shingle replacement is exempt unless sheathing is replaced. For Georgetown County addresses, we confirm the rule with the building department for your job.
In most planned communities, including Wachesaw Plantation and Prince Creek, roof color and material changes need HOA approval. Collins Roofing and Repair helps you gather the details before work is scheduled.
Architectural shingles run about $400-$600+ per square, or about $11,500-$18,000+ for a 3,000 sq ft roof. Larger custom homes cost more. Collins Roofing and Repair gives you a written price after a free inspection.
