The housing stock in Daniel Island

Neighborhoods follow a new-urbanist, neo-traditional master plan with grid streets and sidewalks, all built since 1996.

We work across Daniel Island rather than one corner of it — Daniel Island Park, Codner's Ferry Park and The Waterfront included. Age and construction change between them, which is why we look before we quote.

A roughly 4,000-acre island between the Cooper and Wando rivers in the Berkeley County part of the City of Charleston, which annexed it in 1991. Long used for farming, cattle and hunting, it stayed undeveloped until the Mark Clark Expressway (I-526) crossed it, and homes have been built since 1996 as a master-planned community with neighborhoods grouped around parks and surrounded by rivers and tidal creeks.

What newer roofs run into

Most newer homes in Daniel Island have OSB decking, architectural shingles and a real ridge vent, so they start ahead. What varies is the grade of shingle: much of the 2000s building used builder-grade product whose warranty on paper outlasts its working life, and those roofs are wearing out now. Hail is the other variable. A young roof can still be bruised, and a damaged mat may look perfect from the driveway for a couple of years before it starts to fail, so a roof never checked after a storm is due a look.
