Wade Hampton is a census-designated place in Greenville County, with a 2020 census population of 21,482 and an elevation of about 912 feet. US 29, known locally as Wade Hampton Boulevard, runs through it, and it borders the city of Greenville and Taylors. The place was established as a census designation on 23 July 2015, and is named for Wade Hampton III, a Civil War general and former governor. The 2020 census counted 9,912 housing units. Anyone searching for roofers in Wade Hampton, SC is working with one of the larger housing markets near Greenville.
The French Bilingual School of South Carolina is here, and the community sits between established Greenville neighborhoods and Taylors, which the Taylors page covers. Because the designation is recent, the census does not give a long history, and we have not sourced a median year built. What nearly 10,000 housing units on a major commercial corridor mean for roofing is volume and variety: older ranch houses, mid-century subdivisions and newer infill.
We are a referral service, not a roofer. We connect Wade Hampton 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.
Census data puts a number on it: 88.8% of Wade Hampton housing units were built before 2000, with a median build year of 1973, the oldest housing among the larger Greenville-area communities (ACS 2020-2024). See the Greenville-area roof age report for every town, with method.
Corridor homes and commercial edges
Houses near a commercial corridor are in a market with plenty of roofers advertising, so the roof still fails for the usual reasons: age, humidity and flashing. Inspect after a major storm, keep dated photos, and compare any bid against the written scope the roofer we refer provides.
