This local Murrell’s Inlet homeowner was looking to get their nearly 20 year old roof replaced due to leaking issues during heavy rain. This is common with 3-tab builder grade shingles as seen in the before picture. After being referred to Klaus Roofing Systems as a reputable five star installer in the area, a Klaus Roofing specialist informed them that they would be eligible for the South Carolina Safe Home Grant which would contribute to the cost of a whole fortified roof replacement.

What is the South Carolina Safe Home Grant?

This grant is administered by the South Carolina Department of Insurance to provide coastal property owners a way to retrofit their homes to make them more resistant to hurricanes and high wind damage. Grant awards are applicable and be between $6,000 – $7,500 for owner occupied, single family homes. This is not an insurance claim and applies to all homeowners who currently posses home insurance.
