Clinton is a city in Laurens County with a 2020 census population of 7,633 and an elevation of about 614 feet. US 76 and SC 72 intersect near the center, Interstate 26 passes through the east side and meets I-385 on the northern outskirts. Presbyterian College is here, founded by minister William Plumer Jacobs. The Clinton Cotton Mill opened in 1896 and the Lydia Cotton Mill in 1902, and both closed in 2001. For roofers in Clinton, SC, college and mill history are both part of the housing stock.
The Clinton Commercial Historic District and the Thornwell-Presbyterian College Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Mill-village houses and campus-area homes are many decades old, while newer construction stands on the edges. Since the mills closed, some older houses have changed hands and gone through years of deferred maintenance.
We are a referral service, not a roofer. We connect Clinton homeowners with a vetted, licensed local roofing contractor who inspects the roof and attic for free and puts the price of any roof replacement or repair in writing before work starts.
Deferred maintenance and the first inspection
Homes that changed hands after the mills closed often have roofs that have been patched rather than replaced. A free inspection with photos of the attic and the surface tells you whether you are repairing a sound roof or paying for patches on a failing one. Use our repair or replace guide to interpret what you see.
