About Cross
Cross is an unincorporated community of roughly 5,000 in rural Berkeley County — agricultural land, hunting properties, and a growing number of larger residential parcels.
Roofs in Cross
Older homes in central Cross carry 30+ year roof systems on simple framing. Many properties have detached barns, workshops, or pole structures with metal roofs. A growing number of newer custom builds along the highway corridor have standard architectural shingle, now 10-20 years in.
Climate & conditions
Furthest north of our regular service area — less salt corrosion than coastal zones, but heavier summer thunderstorms, longer pollen seasons, and dense pine canopy on most lots. Hail claims are more common here than along the coast.
What sets Cross apart
Rural-suburban character — larger lots, fewer HOA constraints, more metal roofing per capita than Goose Creek proper. Permits come from Berkeley County. The drive matters for us on small repair jobs — we'll be honest about whether the math works.
Cross customers ask
- Will you drive to Cross for a repair?
- For meaningful work, yes. We make the 25-minute drive regularly for full replacements, metal work, and significant storm-damage jobs. For minor repairs, give us a call and we'll be honest about whether the travel math works on your specific job.
- Do you install metal roofs on barns and outbuildings in Cross?
- Yes — that's some of our most consistent rural work. Standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal on barns, workshops, detached garages, and pole structures. Metal is the right call out there: 40-50 year service life, low maintenance, stands up to summer hail.
- How do hail claims work in Cross?
- Hail is more common in inland Berkeley County than on the coast. We inspect, photograph, and write a scope. If the damage rises to a claim, we meet your adjuster on the roof and work to their approved scope. We don't push claims that won't hold.
- What does a 2,000 sq ft replacement cost in Cross?
- Architectural shingle: $9,000-$15,000. Metal: $20,000-$40,000+. Travel is built into the quote — there's no surprise charge after the fact.
- Do you do new-construction or pre-purchase inspections out here?
- Yes. Free written inspection with photos, no obligation. We've helped buyers negotiate price reductions on properties with roofs at end-of-life and confirmed roof condition on solid homes that didn't need any work yet.
