Simpsonville, SC
Key drivers: Age, Storm-Wind, Granule Loss, Penetrations, Missing Shingles
- No high-likelihood storm indicators detected.
- Roof age: 18 years, at expected service life.
- High-priority findings: 3.
- Defect categories observed: 4.
This recommendation is based on roof age, visible defects, and repairability observed in the inspection photos.
Based on our inspection, we recommend replacing the roof. The observed torn/missing shingles, improper satellite penetration, and general wear across the roof's surface indicate that the roof is nearing the end of its service life.
The age of the roof, combined with multiple defect categories, supports the recommendation for replacement. Addressing this proactively can help prevent potential future issues, such as leaks and further damage to the underlying structure.
We encourage you to schedule a consultation with Refined Exterior to discuss options for roof replacement.

This report summarizes our inspection of the asphalt shingle roof at 123 Main St in Simpsonville, SC. The roof is approximately 18 years old. This inspection was conducted to assess the roof's condition, with specific attention to potential storm-related issues.
We observed torn or missing shingles and issues with a satellite penetration, which may compromise the roof's ability to protect against water intrusion. Additionally, general wear and granule loss were noted across the roof surface, consistent with the roof's age.
Given the observed conditions, we recommend further action to ensure the continued protection of your home.
- Torn or missing shingles were observed, potentially exposing underlying layers.
- A satellite mount was improperly installed, which may increase the risk of leaks.
- General wear, discoloration, and potential impact marks are apparent across the roof surface.
Multiple instances of torn or missing shingles were observed. The absence of these shingles and the torn edges may expose the underlying roof structure to the elements. Underlying layers may also be visible in those torn locations.
Missing or torn shingles can allow water to get into your home, so it's important to address this promptly.
The satellite mount is installed directly over the asphalt shingles. The shingles are cut to accommodate the base of the mount, and this penetration setup may increase the risk of moisture intrusion around the satellite mount.
Improperly installed satellite dishes can create pathways for water to enter your home.
The roof shows signs of aging and weathering. Shingle wear is apparent across the field, and discoloration and staining are present on many shingles, possibly due to algae growth. Some shingles may be torn or missing in areas not visible in the representative images. An opening is visible around a roof penetration, which may increase the risk of moisture intrusion.
Overall, the roof is showing its age and some general maintenance may be needed.
Dark staining and discoloration are evident on the shingle surfaces. Granule loss is also observed, which may reduce the overall lifespan of the shingles.
Granule loss protects the shingle from sun and weather, and losing granules can shorten the life of your roof.
Two pipe boots are visible on the roof. The flashing around these pipe boots appears to be in serviceable condition at this time.
The pipe boots are currently in good condition.
