About Collins Roofing and Repair in Longs: Everyday Roofing and Storm Roofing in Fast-Growing North Horry County

Collins Roofing and Repair provides everyday roofing and storm roofing to Longs homeowners, from first-time buyers in new subdivisions to families on land their grandparents farmed.

We are the team behind our roofing company in Conway, serving Horry County for more than 15 years. Longs is about 20 miles from our Conway office in a straight line, or about 24 road miles by SC 90 and SC 905.

That drive runs about 40 minutes. We schedule Longs inspections like any other part of our service area, and active leaks and storm damage go to the front of the line.

Everyday Roofing in Longs

Most Longs calls are everyday roofing. A vent boot on a 10-year-old subdivision home starts to leak, shingles blow off a ridge, or a 1990s roof is shedding granules and curling at the edges.

We find the actual leak and fix it with a roof repair when that will do. We quote a roof replacement only when the roof is truly worn out.

"From the office being quick to respond and set up a great appointment, to my roof inspection. I was shown all issues and they came same week to fix !"
JoAnn Jarrett, 5 stars, Google read this review on Google

Storm Roofing in Longs

The other half is storm roofing. On June 13, 2026, severe storms knocked down several trees in the Longs area, and the National Weather Service logged one tree that came down across power lines and a house.

When a storm or a tree opens your roof, Collins Roofing and Repair tarps it, photographs the damage and repairs it through our storm damage repair service.

"Quick response, timely turn around, fantastic workmanship, affordable,. We are completely satisfied!!"

The Truth About Hiring a Roofer in Longs (And How Collins Roofing and Repair Fixes It)

Hiring a roofer in Longs comes with problems you don’t see on the beach. Many homes are brand new, many are in HOAs, and the rest are older homes spread out on country roads.

The image represents hiring a roofer in Longs SC who checks new construction roofs, HOA rules and Horry County permits.

The Problems Longs Homeowners Run Into

New Roofs With Early Problems

A new house doesn’t always mean a good roof. On fast-built subdivision homes, we see unsealed vent boots, short nails, missing drip edge and poor attic ventilation show up in the first few years.

How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It

Our service rep gets on the roof and photographs exactly what is wrong. If your builder’s warranty may still cover it, you have the photos to show them. If not, we price the repair.

HOA Rules on Brand-New Streets

Most new Longs subdivisions have an HOA. Builders pick one shingle line and color range, and the HOA may want any repair or replacement to match it.

How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It

We ask about your HOA at the first visit, give you the product and color details for your approval request, and order materials once the community signs off.

Older Homes and Manufactured Homes Left Behind

About one in five homes in the Longs ZIP code is a manufactured home, according to Census data. Some roofers won’t touch them, and others push a full replacement for every leak.

How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It

Collins Roofing and Repair inspects every type of home the same way: on the roof, with photos, then an honest repair or replacement price.

Storm Chasers on SC 9

After a big storm, out-of-town crews work the main roads through Longs and the new subdivisions. Many are gone before the first leak comes back.

How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It

Collins Roofing and Repair is a licensed and insured South Carolina roofing contractor with a permanent office in Conway, and we hand you documentation before work begins.

What You Actually Need From a Longs Roofer

  • A real inspection. On the roof, with photos, even on a young house.
  • HOA know-how. Product and color details ready for your approval request.
  • The right permit answer. Horry County rules for unincorporated Longs.
  • An honest repair option. A vent boot doesn’t mean a new roof.
  • A local company. One that will be here when the warranty matters.

Longs Weather and Storms: What Collins Roofing and Repair Sees on Local Roofs

Longs sits inland from the beach, near the Waccamaw River, with pine and hardwood forest between the subdivisions. That means fewer surge worries than the coast, but more falling trees, more summer thunderstorms and heavy tropical rain.

What Each Longs Weather Threat Does to a Roof

Falling Trees and Limbs

Many Longs lots back up to pine and hardwood woods. In a storm, a tree or big limb can crack rafters and punch through decking. Between storms, needles and leaves pack valleys and hold water.

Summer Thunderstorm Wind

Most Longs roof damage comes from thunderstorms, not hurricanes. Gusts lift shingle tabs, break the seal strips and pull vent boots loose, especially on newer roofs with weak nailing.

Hail

Golf ball hail hit nearby Green Sea and Loris in May 2026. Hail bruises shingles and knocks granules loose, and the damage is easy to miss from the ground.

Tropical Rain and River Flooding

Florence and Matthew flooded parts of Longs along the Waccamaw River. Wind-driven rain pushes water under lifted shingles and through weak flashing long before the river rises.

How Collins Roofing and Repair Builds Roofs for Longs

  • Wind-rated installs. Correct nail patterns and sealed starter and ridge courses.
  • Balanced ventilation. Proper intake and exhaust, which many builder roofs lack.
  • Tree checks. We point out limbs hanging over your roof during the inspection.
  • Valley protection. Clean valleys and sealed transitions where pine straw collects.
  • Fast storm response. Emergency tarping when a storm or tree opens your roof.

Longs Permits, HOA and Code Rules: How Collins Roofing and Repair Handles Them

Longs is unincorporated, so roofing permits go through Horry County Code Enforcement. The county office is in Conway, the same town as the Collins Roofing and Repair office.

The image represents roofing permits in unincorporated Longs SC through Horry County Code Enforcement and HOA approvals in new Longs communities.

The Horry County Building Permit

  • Who issues it. Horry County Code Enforcement, 1301 Second Avenue, Suite 1D09, Conway, phone 843-915-5090.
  • Online portal. Inspection scheduling, payments and permit status run through the county’s online portal.
  • Shingle replacement. The county’s permit page says the permit requirement does not apply to replacing shingles unless structural sheathing is being replaced.
  • Decking replacement. If rotted or damaged sheathing comes off, plan on a permit.
  • Fees. Alteration permit fees are based on Appendix B of the 1997 Standard Building Code, plus zoning fees.
  • Code. Horry County works under its 2021 South Carolina code adoptions, and its roof covering certification letter cites the 2021 South Carolina Residential Code for high-wind areas.

HOAs in New Longs Subdivisions

New communities from national builders now line SC 905 and SC 90. Most come with an HOA that controls the look of the street, including roof color.

New Longs, SC communities, where they sit and what each one means for the roof
Community Where What It Means for the Roof
Evington Place (D.R. Horton) Off SC 905, north of SC 9, with 146 homesites New one and two-story homes, HOA look, early install issues
The Overlook (Lennar) Cambria Drive, a master-planned community Young roofs, HOA standards, storm checks
Valley Ridge (Lennar) Pleasant Valley Drive New single-family homes, builder-grade shingles
Eden Springs (D.R. Horton) Off SC 90, less than a mile from SC 22 Larger plans up to about 4,000 sq ft, bigger roof areas
Colonial Charter Charter Drive, around a golf course opened in 1988 Older roofs at or past replacement age

Growth is not slowing down. Back in 2018, a single rezoning request near SC 905 and Old Buck Creek Road proposed 1,292 homes on 566 acres.

How Collins Roofing and Repair Handles HOA Approval

  • We ask first. Your service rep asks about your HOA at the first visit.
  • We match the street. Product and color details that fit your community’s rules.
  • We order after approval. Materials go on order once the HOA signs off.

Roof Type Price Per Square Typical Whole-Roof Range
