Landrum is a city in Spartanburg County, just south of the North Carolina line, with a 2020 census population of 2,481 and an elevation of about 1,024 feet. US 176 and SC 14 meet near its center, and Interstate 26 runs nearby. Homesteaders settled the area around 1760, and the town was founded in 1880 when the railroad was extended north from Spartanburg, named for John Gill Landrum, who donated land for the depot. It became a city in 1973.
Landrum is a small foothills town, and homes range from older railroad-era houses near the center to rural properties with larger, steeper or more complicated roofs. Properties that nobody checks between visits are a common repair call: a small leak can run for months before anyone sees it. If you are looking for roofers in Landrum, SC, start with an inspection that covers the attic as well as the shingles. We have not sourced a median home age for Landrum, so the age split is general guidance.
We are a referral service, not a roofer. We connect Landrum homeowners with a vetted, licensed roofing contractor who inspects for free and puts the price in writing.
Older homes, rural lots and what they mean for the roof
Older houses near the town center often have steeper pitches, chimneys and multiple roof planes, all of which add labor and flashing. Rural properties around Landrum can have long driveways, mature trees overhanging the roof and detached buildings. Each of those changes the bid. Steeper or cut-up roofs run toward the top of the ranges on our cost page.
A chimney is the most common leak source on an older house. Our chimney leak repair guide explains flashing, crickets and what a fair repair price looks like.

Permits for a Landrum reroof
Landrum is a city with its own government, and homes outside the city limits fall under Spartanburg County. We have not verified which office issues the reroof permit for a given Landrum address, so we will not guess. The roofer we refer confirms the office, pulls the permit and handles the final inspection. See the permit guide for how the rule usually works.
Metal roofing for long-term owners near the foothills
Metal roofs are a common choice for owners who plan to hold a house for decades, and the cost per year of life is close to asphalt. See the metal roof cost guide for the numbers, and the metal roofing page for the installation details.
