Permits, power and roofs in Greer

Inside the limits, building permits normally come from the City of Greer rather than either county, so a house on either side of the county line follows the same city process. Electric service is split between Greer CPW, the city-owned utility that covers much of town, and Duke Energy Carolinas, so check the bill to see who should hear about a reinstall. Builders here have favored architectural shingles on steep pitches with valleys everywhere, which spreads an array across several planes and means the racking layout has to be mapped before anything comes down. Hail storms cross the I-85 corridor in many springs. Helene hit hard too: the airport on Greer's edge measured a gust near 68 mph, and falling trees caused much of the roof damage that followed.

In the newer neighborhoods off Pelham Road and north toward Lake Robinson, HOA approval often sets the schedule, and boards usually want the array back in the same footprint. Some of these houses got solar a year or two after closing, and the builder's roof warranty may not cover leaks at penetrations someone else made. Near downtown, older systems sit on mill-era roofs that are tired underneath.
