Are Asphalt Shingles the Right Roof for Myrtle Beach Weather?

Asphalt shingles are a solid choice for most Myrtle Beach homes when you pick a quality shingle and install it correctly. Coastal heat, humidity and wind are hard on roofs, so algae resistance, sealing strength and the underlayment beneath the shingles matter as much as the shingle itself. Honest Roofers prefers Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles.

What Does Coastal Weather Do to Shingles?

Strong sun breaks shingles down over time, humidity feeds the black algae streaks you see on many local roofs, and ocean wind can lift shingles that have lost their seal. A shingle that seals well and resists algae lasts and looks better here.

Why Does Honest Roofers Prefer Atlas Pinnacle Pristine?

Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles are partnered with 3M Scotchgard and come with a lifetime guarantee against black algae streaks. They do not use crushed limestone filler to add weight cheaply, they seal well, and they are regularly rated highly by independent testing. Read how to stop black algae streaks.

Is the Shingle the Only Thing That Matters?

No. What goes under the shingles protects your home if a shingle ever blows off. Honest Roofers installs ice and water shield on the lower three feet of the roof and waterproof synthetic underlayment on the rest. See our shingle re-roofs page for more.

When Should I Replace My Asphalt Shingle Roof?
