Permits, power and roofs in Charleston

Permits inside Charleston city limits come from the city, and in the historic districts any exterior change visible from a public street goes before the city's design approval board before work starts. That board generally prefers panels kept low, flush and out of view, so a reinstall should go back exactly as approved or it risks a new application. Slate cracks underfoot and old metal dents, so the crew's footwork matters as much as the hardware. Dominion Energy South Carolina serves nearly the whole city, with Berkeley Electric Cooperative on parts of Johns Island. Hugo stripped roofs across the peninsula in 1989, and today the everyday risks are king tides, flooded streets and salt carried on the harbor wind.

South of Broad and in Ansonborough, Harleston Village and Radcliffeborough, the work turns on approvals, old framing and access across tight lots with no room for a lift. In Wagener Terrace and Hampton Park Terrace, bungalows from the early and middle 1900s often hide old decking under the current shingles. In West Ashley neighborhoods like Byrnes Downs and Avondale, postwar houses under big oaks lose more sun every year.
