Collins Roofing and Repair inspects, repairs and replaces roofs in Mullins, SC, on family homes, rental houses, farmhouses and the brick buildings downtown. We climb the roof, photograph what we find and recommend a repair when a repair is all the roof needs.
Mullins customers already know us. One Mullins homeowner left us a five-star review after Josh and Randall fixed her roof, and we’d like to earn yours the same way.
Free written estimates with no pressure.
Finding a roofer who will treat a Mullins roof right is harder than it looks. Small-town jobs get pushed to the back of the line, rental owners get sold more roof than they need, and storm chasers roll through after every hurricane.
A cracked vent boot or a few missing shingles isn’t a big ticket. Some companies won’t drive out for it, and others turn it into a full replacement quote to make the trip worth it.
Collins Roofing and Repair does small repairs every week. If a small fix is what your roof needs, that’s what we quote, and we’ll tell you the small things you can keep an eye on yourself.
More than half of the homes in Mullins are rentals. Landlords get stuck with roofs that have been patched over and over until the decking gives out.
We show owners the photos, price the repair and the replacement side by side, and let you decide which makes sense for the property. Rental and investment owners already use us for both.
"Daniel completely replaced the roof on one of my rental homes. He has also repaired a roof for me and is installing another new roof next week. There is no better company for roofing than this one! Best prices and very professional!!!"
After Matthew and Florence, out-of-town crews worked US 76 and the roads around Nichols. Many of them are long gone, and so are their warranties.
Collins Roofing and Repair has served this area for more than 15 years from our office in Conway. Your written workmanship warranty is with a company that will still pick up the phone after the next storm.
The City of Mullins requires a permit for most improvements and expects contractors to hold the right licenses. An unlicensed crew can leave you with a failed inspection and no one to call.
Collins Roofing and Repair is a licensed and insured South Carolina roofing contractor, and we hand you the documentation before work begins. We handle the permit with the city as part of scheduling.
Mullins sits between Marion and the Little Pee Dee River, and the storms that matter here are mostly about water and wind. Hurricanes stall and dump rain, thunderstorms knock trees down across US 76, and the area has seen large hail.
| Date | Storm | What Mullins and Nearby Saw |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 5, 2026 | Severe thunderstorms | Trees down on US 76 just west of Mullins, more trees down across the Marion area |
| May 11, 2026 | Severe thunderstorms | Quarter size hail in the Nichols area, the same day golf ball hail hit Loris |
| Jun 11, 2025 | Severe thunderstorms | A tree down across Calder Road between Mullins and Marion |
| Apr 20, 2024 | Severe thunderstorms | Fallen trees knocked out power to most of Nichols |
| Jan 9, 2024 | Severe thunderstorms | A tree down near SC 41 and Zion Road north of Mullins, trees on homes in Marion |
| Apr 5, 2022 | EF1 tornado | 100 mph peak winds on a 5.4 mile path from the Bay Road area of eastern Marion County across the Little Pee Dee |
| Jun 3, 2021 | EF1 tornado | Touched down near Old Nichols Highway northeast of Mullins, trees down on Ironwood Road and minor damage to homes near Gilchrist Road |
| Sep 2018 | Hurricane Florence | US 76 closed between Mullins and Nichols for about four months, Little Pee Dee at Nichols crested at 54.56 feet |
| Oct 2016 | Hurricane Matthew | 15.06 inches of rain in Mullins, more than 17 inches in Nichols, about 150 Nichols residents rescued |
| May 14, 2006 | Severe thunderstorm | 2.75 inch hail reported about a mile north of Mullins |
Matthew put 15.06 inches of rain on Mullins. When rain falls for days, any weak spot leaks: an old vent boot, a worn valley, a nail pop or flashing that pulled away from a chimney. Wet decking that never dries out turns soft fast.
Florence closed US 76 toward Nichols for months. When roads flood, a small leak can sit for days. Emergency tarping buys time until the full repair can be done.
Hail doesn’t hit Mullins every year, but it hits hard when it does. A 2.75 inch report north of town in 2006 is big enough to crack shingles and dent metal, and quarter size hail fell near Nichols in May 2026.
EF1 tornadoes touched down in Marion County in 2021, 2022 and 2024, and thunderstorms in 2025 and 2026 knocked trees down across US 76 and Calder Road. Wind lifts shingle tabs and pulls up vents, and trees go straight through decking.
Inside city limits, roofing permits go through the City of Mullins Department of Building Safety. Outside city limits, Marion County handles permits for unincorporated addresses.

Downtown Mullins was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 as the Mullins Commercial Historic District. It covers 38 buildings along parts of Main, Front and West Wine Streets, built from 1895 to about 1945.
The National Register listing honors history. The city’s building page doesn’t list a separate historic design review, so we confirm any extra steps with the city before work on a downtown building.
Collins Roofing and Repair confirms whether your address is in city limits, gets the permit lined up and schedules any inspection the city requires. You don’t make the calls.
Mullins grew up around tobacco. Dr. C.T. Ford planted an experimental tobacco crop in the 1890s, the first warehouse auction followed in 1894, and Mullins became South Carolina’s leading tobacco market for most of the 20th century.
That boom left the town with big brick warehouses, a downtown full of early 1900s storefronts, and blocks of homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s. About 4,026 people lived in Mullins at the 2020 Census.
Big warehouse roofs like these mix gabled sections with flat built-up additions. The same mix of low-slope and pitched roofs shows up on Mullins storefronts, churches and shops, and it’s the work our commercial roofing team handles.
The median Mullins home was built in 1974, and about 43 percent of homes went up before 1970. Many of those houses are on their second or third roof.
| Era Built | Share of Mullins Homes | What It Usually Means for the Roof |
|---|---|---|
| 1949 or earlier | About 12.2 percent | Old framing and board decking, check for old layers |
| 1950s | About 19.4 percent | One-story homes on a third roof, weak ventilation |
| 1960s | About 11.6 percent | Low-slope porch and carport roofs, flashing wear |
| 1970s | About 15.8 percent | Prime replacement age if not redone since the 2000s |
| 1980s | About 10.6 percent | Second roofs nearing the end of their life |
| 1990s | About 15.0 percent | Many original or first-replacement roofs now 25 years or older |
| 2000 or later | About 15.4 percent | Repairs and storm damage more than replacements |
About 55 percent of occupied homes in Mullins are rented, and about 45 percent are owner-occupied. Roughly 79 percent are single-family detached houses, and about 4 percent are mobile homes.
| Area | Typical Buildings | What It Means for the Roof |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown along Main, Front and West Wine Streets | Brick storefronts built from 1895 to the 1940s | Flat roofs, parapet flashing, coatings and membranes |
| Warehouse blocks near the railroad | Large brick and metal tobacco-era buildings | Big low-slope and metal roofs, commercial scheduling |
| In-town streets like Academy, Church and East Wine | Older one-story homes and rentals | Third roofs, soft decking, fascia rot |
| Neighborhoods off US 76 and SC 917 | 1960s to 1990s ranch homes | Replacement age, wind-lifted shingles |
| Rural roads like Sandy Bluff, Gapway and Old Nichols Highway | Farmhouses, mobile homes and outbuildings | Metal roofs, tree damage, open wind |
| Toward Nichols and the Little Pee Dee | Homes in flood-prone low ground | Long rain events, damp attics, decking checks |
