The CSRA’s roofing company, built in Aiken, proven in Augusta
CCY Roofing is a family-owned roofing company serving the Central Savannah River Area from our home base in Aiken, South Carolina. Since 2013, our crews have replaced, repaired, and restored roofs on both sides of the river, horse-country homes off Whiskey Road, brick ranches in Augusta’s Summerville, mill houses in Graniteville, and new construction going up fast in Evans and Grovetown.
We’re licensed in both South Carolina and Georgia, fully insured with workers’ comp on every crew, and we’ve answered the same phone number since the day we opened. That matters more than it sounds: when water is coming through your ceiling, the difference between a roofer who answers and a roofer who “circles back Tuesday” is the difference between a $450 repair and a new living-room ceiling.
No call centers. No out-of-state door-knockers who appear after every storm and vanish before the first warranty claim. Just a roofing contractor that lives here, works here, and plans to be here when your next roof comes due.
Roofing services in Augusta, GA and Aiken, SC
Four jobs make up nearly all of our work. Each has its own page with full detail and town-by-town coverage, but here’s the honest version of each one.
Roof replacement
When shingles curl at the edges, granules pile up in your gutters, and every heavy rain finds a new way in, repairs stop making financial sense. We tear off to the decking, replace what’s rotten, and install architectural shingles rated for southern heat and wind, with drip edge, synthetic underlayment, sealed valleys, and proper ridge ventilation, not just new shingles nailed over old problems. Most CSRA homes are finished in a single day, and every replacement carries a workmanship warranty in writing. See how roof replacement works →
Roof repair
Not every roof needs replacing, and we’ll be the first to say so, about a third of the inspections we run end with a repair quote instead of a replacement pitch. Leaks around chimneys and pipe boots, flashing that’s pulled loose, shingles lifted by straight-line winds, soft spots in decking: most repairs are scheduled the same week, documented with before-and-after photos, and priced exactly. If a $450 fix buys your roof five more years, that’s what we’ll tell you. More on roof repair →
Storm damage and insurance restoration
The CSRA catches spring hail, summer straight-line winds, and the occasional inland hurricane, and insurance policies exist for exactly that. We photograph every hail strike and lifted shingle, help you open the claim, and meet your adjuster on the roof so nothing gets missed or lowballed. When a claim is approved, many CSRA homeowners pay only their deductible for a full replacement. How storm claims work →
Metal roofing
The roofs that outlast their owners on every two-lane road in the CSRA, ag-panel and tuff-rib for barns, farmhouses, and outbuildings, standing seam for homes that want the last roof they’ll ever need. Forty-plus years, cooler attics, and honest math against a third shingle roof. Metal roofing details →
Signs your roof is trying to tell you something
Most CSRA roof failures announce themselves months before the ceiling stain shows up. Granules collecting in gutters and at the bottom of downspouts mean shingles are shedding their armor. Shingle tabs that flutter or look “unzipped” after a windy afternoon mean the seal strips have let go. Dark streaks running down north-facing slopes are algae feeding on the humidity, cosmetic at first, moisture-holding later. A wavy or sagging ridgeline means decking problems that get more expensive every season they’re ignored. And inside: light in the attic where light shouldn’t be, insulation that smells musty, or a brown ring on any ceiling.
None of these mean you need a new roof tomorrow. All of them mean it’s time for someone to walk the roof, and since our inspections are free and written, the cost of knowing is thirty seconds of your time. The cost of not knowing is usually a deductible’s worth of drywall, or worse.
What a new roof actually costs in the CSRA
Nobody wants to hear “it depends,” so here are real numbers. Most single-family roof replacements in the Augusta–Aiken area land between $8,000 and $15,000. Smaller ranches with simple rooflines can come in under $8,000; larger homes, steep pitches, or upgraded shingles push past $18,000. Three things move the number most: the size of your roof (measured in squares, one square is 100 square feet), how steep and cut-up the roofline is, and what we find in the decking once the old shingles come off.
Two promises about pricing. First, the quote is exact and itemized, the number on your quote is the number on your invoice. Second, the one genuine unknown on any tear-off, rotten decking, is priced per sheet, in writing, before we start. You’ll never hear a new number invented on your roof at 2pm on build day.
If a storm caused the damage, the math changes completely: an approved insurance claim usually means you pay only your deductible, whether that’s $1,000 or $2,500, and the carrier covers the rest. That’s not a gimmick, it’s what your premiums have been buying all along. We’ll tell you honestly whether your roof has a claim worth filing before anyone touches paperwork.
And when it’s not a storm and the timing just isn’t ideal, roofs rarely fail on payday, financing is available on approved credit, with terms that let you fix the roof now instead of watching a repairable problem become a replacement-sized one. Ask when you book the inspection and we’ll walk you through the options with the same no-pressure rule as everything else.
Built for CSRA weather, because we live in it
Roofs in the CSRA earn their keep. Spring brings hail out of Georgia’s storm corridors, some years it’s pea-sized and harmless, some years it strips granules off every south-facing slope in Columbia County. Summer brings near-daily thunderstorms up the Savannah River valley with straight-line winds that lift shingle tabs one row at a time. Then August parks a 105-degree heat index on your shingles for six weeks, cooking cheap materials from the inside out.
And every so often, the big one: Hurricane Helene in 2024 put a hundred-year-old oak through more Augusta roofs than anyone had ever seen, and taught the whole region what “inland hurricane” means. The February 2014 ice storm did the same for pine limbs. Anyone who roofed through those two events knows exactly what CSRA weather can do, and builds for it.
So we spec for this climate specifically: architectural shingles with 110–130 mph wind ratings, algae-resistant granules for the humidity that streaks north-facing slopes, ice-and-water shield in every valley, and ridge ventilation sized to pull heat out of your attic instead of letting it cook your decking. Under the pines from Aiken to Thomson, we also see what pine straw does to valleys and gutters, it holds moisture against shingles like a wet blanket, so we build valleys closed and tight.
How roof insurance claims actually work here
After hail or wind moves through, here’s the honest sequence. First, get a free inspection before you call your insurance company, if the damage isn’t worth a claim, filing one anyway just puts a mark on your record for nothing, and we’ll tell you straight. Second, if the damage is real, we document it: dated photos of every hail bruise, every creased shingle, every dented vent cap. Third, you open the claim and we meet your adjuster on the roof, not in the driveway, so the scope includes everything the storm actually took.
When the claim is approved, the carrier pays for the replacement minus your deductible. South Carolina and Georgia both require you to actually pay that deductible, any roofer who offers to “eat it” or “waive it” is describing insurance fraud with a smile, and they will not be around when the roof they installed starts leaking. It’s also the clearest tell for separating local companies from the storm-chaser caravans that follow hail maps across state lines.
One more thing worth knowing: carriers give you a limited window to file after a storm, typically one year, sometimes less. If your neighborhood took hail this spring and you never had the roof looked at, the clock is already running.

Straight answers to common CSRA roofing questions
How long does a roof last in the CSRA?
Shorter than the brochure says. Architectural shingles marketed as “30-year” typically deliver 20 to 25 in our heat and UV, good attic ventilation is the difference between the two ends of that range. Three-tab shingles, common on older homes in Augusta and Graniteville, are usually done by 18. If your roof went on before 2008 or so, it’s worth a free look.
Will homeowners insurance pay for my roof?
If the damage came from a specific storm event, hail, wind, a falling limb, yes, that’s exactly what your policy covers, minus your deductible. Plain old age and wear are not covered, and no honest roofer will tell you otherwise. The free inspection sorts out which situation you’re in before you risk a claim on your record.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes in the CSRA: one day. Tear-off starts early, the yard is tarped, and the crew is doing the final walkthrough with you before dinner. Bigger or steeper homes can run two days. You don’t need to be home, but you’re welcome to watch.
How do I know if I have hail damage?
From the ground: dents in gutters, downspouts, and vent caps, granules piling at downspout exits, and neighbors suddenly getting new roofs. What you can’t see from the ground is the bruising on the shingles themselves, that takes someone walking the roof. After any hailstorm in the Augusta–Aiken area, the inspection is free and the report is written, whether or not there’s a claim in it.
Do you really work both sides of the river?
Yes, fully licensed in South Carolina and Georgia, which matters because the states handle contractor licensing and insurance claims differently. One company, one standard, both sides of the Savannah.
What are the best shingles for CSRA heat and storms?
Architectural (dimensional) asphalt shingles from the major manufacturers, in the 110–130 mph wind-rated lines, with algae-resistant granules, that’s the sweet spot of price, lifespan, and storm resistance for this climate, and it’s what we install on most homes. Three-tab shingles cost less up front and give it all back in lifespan. If you’re staying in the house twenty-plus years, upgraded designer shingles or metal are worth pricing out; we’ll quote both and show you the break-even honestly.
Should I file an insurance claim or just pay for the repair?
Run the math with us first. If the storm damage totals $900 and your deductible is $1,000, filing gains you nothing and puts a claim on your record. If half the roof took hail, the claim is exactly what insurance is for. Our written inspection report gives you the real number, so you decide with facts instead of a salesman’s urgency.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof around here?
Usually yes, Aiken County, Richmond County, Columbia County, and most CSRA municipalities require a roofing permit for full replacement, and the rules differ by jurisdiction. We pull the permit as part of the job, schedule any required inspections, and fold the cost into the quote. If a roofer tells you permits “aren’t really necessary,” that tells you everything about how the rest of the job will go.
