Of the 13 companies we track in Charleston, 3 have an active contractor license located in public records, 9 are registered business entities, and 10 operate from a commercial rather than residential address. South Carolina issues roofing-contractor licensing at the state level, so an active state license is the baseline credential to confirm before hiring. A company not appearing with a license here isn’t proof it’s unlicensed - some jurisdictions don’t publish - so verify directly, and always confirm liability and workers’ comp insurance before work starts.

The roofers we track in Charleston have been in business a median of 6 years, by their state formation date. The longest-operating is New Beginnings Construction, in business since 2006 (20 years); 0 were formed less than two years ago. A verifiable formation date and registered agent on file is one of the clearest lines between an established local company and a transient operator.

Charleston County has recorded 243 significant storm events in the past decade, including hail up to 1.75" and wind gusts to 96 mph, so storm-driven roof damage is common here. After big storms, be wary of out-of-area crews who show up unsolicited, pressure you to sign immediately, or ask you to sign over your insurance claim. 13 of the roofers we track are based in Charleston itself, alongside 24 that service it from nearby - favor an established local firm you can verify over a crew that appeared after the hail.

9 of the 13 roofers we track in Charleston hold at least one manufacturer certification (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, IKO, Malarkey). The most common here is CertainTeed, held by 6 companies - versus 57% certified across South Carolina. Certification means the manufacturer vetted the contractor and lets them back your roof with stronger, longer material-and-labor warranties. Not required to install a roof, but a real signal of training and standing.

Across the 13 companies we track in Charleston, the average rating is 4.7★, combining Google, BBB, and Yelp. 13 appear on more than one platform and 12 have owners who actively respond to reviews. Look for steady, recent, multi-source ratings over a handful of old five-star reviews on one site - any single platform can be cherry-picked.
