Hail in Charleston County

NOAA storm records for Charleston County list 27 hail reports (the largest 1.25 inches across), 74 thunderstorm wind reports and 16 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail of an inch or more is what the National Weather Service classes as severe.

Humid summers wear out sealants and insulated glass, and wind-driven rain finds any weak seal.

Homes and buildings in James Island

About 68% of homes in James Island were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1971. Buildings that age often still have older single-pane glass and worn aluminum frames, so loose panes, failing seals and tired door hardware come up a lot. More homes here went up in the 1960s than in any other period.

About 93% of homes are single-family houses, so patio doors and home windows make up much of the work. About 86% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.
