Apex Roofing of the Lowcountry

Apex Roofing of the Lowcountry is a licensed residential roofing contractor founded in 2015 by Ralph and Pierce Brehany. They specialize in roof repair, full roof replacement, and new roof installation across Beaufort and Jasper County. The company holds South Carolina License #57706 and Town of Bluffton License #0620033323, and is CertainTeed ShingleMaster certified.

The company sources materials to confirmed specifications, including CertainTeed or GAF shingles. They are factory-certified installers for both CertainTeed and GAF brands, allowing homeowners to choose based on preference. Synthetic underlayment and corrosion-resistant flashings are also used during installation.

The business operates Monday through Saturday from 08:00 to 17:00, with Sunday closed. During emergencies outside office hours, the owners Ralph and Pierce are on call to treat roof issues as high priority.

Headquartered at 6 Sutton Ct, Bluffton, South Carolina, 29910, they serve the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Metropolitan Statistical Area. Specific communities include Sun City, Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes, Hilton Head Plantation, Palmetto Bluff, Colleton River Plantation, Moss Creek, and Belfair.

Customers can call (843) 757-2739 or complete an online request form to schedule a site visit. Ralph or Pierce will personally walk the roof, provide a fully itemized written estimate, and document the project photographically from start to finish before any work begins.

New roofs come with a lifetime no-leak workmanship warranty from Apex and a 50-year limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. Both warranties transfer to the next owner if the house is sold, and SureStart PLUS extended warranties covering material and labor are also available.

The company pulls all required building permits through Beaufort or Jasper County. Materials are ordered only after the customer approves the estimate in writing, ensuring no work starts without confirmed specifications.

After removing the old roof, the team performs a magnetic sweep for fasteners to ensure the deck is secure. They also coordinate the final permit inspection through the county and walk the finished roof with the homeowner before considering the job complete.

In addition to SC License #57706 and Town of Bluffton License #0620033323, the company maintains general liability and workers' compensation insurance. They are also a current CertainTeed ShingleMaster certified contractor and hold an A+ rating on their Better Business Bureau profile dating back to March 2021.

Several reviews highlight the owners Ralph and Pierce for personally explaining the work and keeping homeowners updated throughout the process. Customers appreciate the family-run approach and the transparency in how the two owners communicate the scope of repairs.

The website details eight specific services: Roof Repair, Roof Replacement, Roof Installation, Roof Inspections, Emergency Roof Repair, Metal Roofing, Slate Roofing, and Skylights. Each service has a dedicated section on their site for potential clients.

Every project is documented photographically at every stage, and the team walks the finished roof with the client before finalizing the job. This ensures that all details, from thick underlayment to sealed valleys, meet their high standards.

While the company describes their workmanship warranty as a 'lifetime warranty,' it specifically refers to a no-leak guarantee rather than covering every roofing problem forever. Manufacturer warranties are separate and address qualifying manufacturing defects, while the contractor's warranty addresses installation errors.

Roof trouble does not wait for office hours, and the owners Ralph and Pierce are on call for emergencies. They treat roof emergencies as high priority, especially for homeowners they have worked for before, ensuring rapid response.

Homeowners should locate their roofing contract, invoice, warranty certificate, and any emails showing the shingle manufacturer and installation date. They can then contact the manufacturer or use its warranty portal to verify the record, as actual coverage depends on written terms and whether the warranty transferred after a sale.
