About Collins Roofing and Repair in Murrells Inlet: Everyday Roofing and Storm Roofing on the Waccamaw Neck
Collins Roofing and Repair handles everyday roofing and storm roofing for Murrells Inlet homes, villas and small businesses, from a single cracked boot to a full tear-off.
We are the same team behind our roofing company in Conway. Murrells Inlet sits about 20 miles from our Conway office in a straight line, or about 23 road miles and 40 minutes by SC 544 and US 17.
Murrells Inlet runs along US 17 between the marsh and the Waccamaw River, about 13 miles southwest of Myrtle Beach and 21 miles northeast of Georgetown. Its northern edge follows the Horry County line.
Everyday Roofing in Murrells Inlet
A lot of Murrells Inlet roofs went on in the 2000s and 2010s, so many calls are about builder-grade shingles hitting middle age. Cracked pipe boots, lifted ridge caps, leaking skylights and failed flashing at second-story walls cause most leaks.
We trace the leak from the attic and the roof, quote a roof repair
when a repair will do, and quote a roof replacement
only when the roof is truly worn out.
"My job was a fix to a 12 year old roof. So thankful for this outfit. From scheduling to assessment to finished product and payment, everything is very streamlined and professional."
The other half is storm work. During Hurricane Matthew in 2016, a weather station in Murrells Inlet recorded an 87 mph gust, and in 2022 Hurricane Ian brought a 68 mph gust and flooded the MarshWalk.
Through our storm damage repair
service, we tarp open roofs, photograph every damaged area for your records and then repair or replace what the wind took.
"His recommendations to fix and work was efficient, high-quality, and exceeded expectations. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied and would gladly work with them a third time!"
The Truth About Hiring a Roofer in Murrells Inlet (And How Collins Roofing and Repair Fixes It)
Hiring a roofer in Murrells Inlet means sorting out the county, the HOA and the storm chasers before a single shingle comes off. Here is what goes wrong and how Collins Roofing and Repair handles it.
The Problems Murrells Inlet Homeowners Run Into
HOA Approval Gets Skipped
Many Murrells Inlet homes sit in planned communities. Wachesaw Plantation homes carry HOA restrictions, and Prince Creek has gated sections with their own standards. A roofer who orders the wrong color can leave you with a violation letter.
01
How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It
Before we order materials, your service rep confirms what your HOA requires and helps you gather the color and material details for the request. Work starts once you have the written approval.
A Murrells Inlet Address in the Wrong County
The Murrells Inlet community is in Georgetown County, but the 29576 ZIP code reaches north into Horry County. Burgess, along SC 707, is in Horry County and shares that ZIP, so the mailing address alone doesn't tell you who issues the permit.
02
How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It
We check the parcel record before we quote and follow the right county's rules. If a permit is required, we file it with the right office before the crew is scheduled.
Storm Chasers After Every Big Blow
After Ian came ashore just south of Georgetown in 2022, out-of-town crews worked the subdivisions along US 17. Many are gone before a warranty would matter.
03
How Collins Roofing and Repair Solves It
Collins Roofing and Repair works from a permanent office in Conway, about 40 minutes away, with 71 Google reviews you can read today. Your written workmanship warranty stays with a local company.

Murrells Inlet Weather and Storms:
What Collins Roofing and Repair Sees on Local Roofs
Murrells Inlet weather is the main reason roofs here wear out early. The inlet sits between the ocean, the marsh and the Waccamaw River, so tropical wind, salt air and heavy rain all hit the roof.

What Each Murrells Inlet Weather Threat Does to a Roof
Marsh and River Wind
Wind crossing the open marsh and the Waccamaw River has little to slow it. It lifts shingle edges, breaks seal strips and peels ridge caps first, especially on two-story homes along the water.
Falling Limbs From Old Oaks
Wachesaw Plantation and the older streets near US 17 Business sit under mature live oaks and pines. A single limb in a tropical storm can punch through the decking.
Tropical Rain
Dorian dropped more than 10 inches near the inlet in 2019. Rain like that finds every cracked boot and loose flashing, and it backs up under shingles when gutters clog with leaves and pine straw.
Salt Air
Salt rides the breeze off the inlet every day. It corrodes exposed fasteners, drip edge and vent flashing, especially on homes facing the marsh.

Murrells Inlet Permits, the County Line and HOA Rules:
How Collins Roofing and Repair Handles Them
A Murrells Inlet re-roof can run through two layers of approval: the county permit and your HOA. There is no Town of Murrells Inlet, because Murrells Inlet is an unincorporated community.

The Georgetown County Building Department handles building permits for unincorporated Georgetown County, including the Murrells Inlet community.
Inspections.

Why Many Murrells Inlet Roofs Land in the Higher Range
Custom homes in communities like Wachesaw Plantation often have hips, valleys, dormers and porch roofs. More roof area and more detail work mean more squares and more labor, so a 3,000 sq ft roof is a common starting point here.

Collins Roofing and Repair has 71 Google reviews averaging 5.0 stars, and 70 of them are five stars. Customers mention professionalism in 18, communication in 13 and honest, no-pressure service in 5.
The Georgetown County Building Department in Georgetown handles the Murrells Inlet community. Parcels north of the county line, like Burgess along SC 707, go through Horry County Code Enforcement. Collins Roofing and Repair checks your parcel first.
The answer depends on the county and the scope. In Horry County, shingle replacement is exempt unless sheathing is replaced. For Georgetown County addresses, we confirm the rule with the building department for your job.
In most planned communities, including Wachesaw Plantation and Prince Creek, roof color and material changes need HOA approval. Collins Roofing and Repair helps you gather the details before work is scheduled.
