What permits and inspections does Spartanburg require for a new roof?

Make sure the Spartanburg permit is filed under your name and address; contractors who pull permits under their own name leave you without recourse if inspections fail.
What line items should a humid-climate roofing quote in Spartanburg cover?
For a Spartanburg home, the quote should cover tear-off, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, starter strip, ridge cap, decking inspection, disposal/cleanup, and the permit. Given the humidity, your quote should also list ridge ventilation and algae-resistant (AR) shingle granules — algae streaking is a regional defect, not an aesthetic one. Push back if a Spartanburg contractor's quote skips any of these — missing line items in the bid usually surface as change orders during the job.
My home in Spartanburg is older. Does that affect the cost?
