Public Records Check

  • Missing License Our automated search didn't find a license on file for The Red Shirt Guys with the South Carolina state licensing board. That doesn't mean the company is unlicensed. A license can be held under a different business name, registered too recently for us to match, or filed in a way our search didn't catch. We recommend confirming directly with the South Carolina state licensing board or asking the contractor for their license number.
  • Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for The Red Shirt Guys with the South Carolina Secretary of State. That doesn't mean the company isn't legitimate. Many roofers operate legally as sole proprietorships, which don't require registration, and a registered business can be filed under a different name, formed in another state, or created too recently for us to match. To confirm how the business is structured, ask the contractor or search the South Carolina Secretary of State directly.
  • Business Address The Red Shirt Guys's listed address at 720 Old Clemson Rd #Ste b, Columbia, SC 29229 appears to be a business address. This means the company operates from a real, locatable address rather than a mailbox or PO box, which can make it easier to reach them or resolve issues. Many roofers legitimately work from a home address, so this doesn't speak to the quality of their work, license, or insurance.
  • 1 Credential The Red Shirt Guys holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier. These show the company met a manufacturer's program requirements and may offer manufacturer-backed warranties, but they aren't independent quality audits. You can confirm current status with the manufacturer.
  • Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for The Red Shirt Guys (Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, CertainTeed), the blended average is 4.9 out of 5, which we label Excellent. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A high average reflects past customers' experiences, not a guarantee of yours, so read the underlying reviews and weigh them yourself.

Automated summaries can contain errors or omit context and may become outdated as new reviews are posted, so please read the original reviews through the links provided and do your own due diligence.

Reviewers report that Red Shirt Guys Roofing generally delivers quality work at reasonable prices and completes projects efficiently. Several customers praise their professionalism, communication, and clean work sites. Reviewers highlight positive experiences with estimates, timely service, and attention to detail, including thorough cleanup. One reviewer appreciated the company's referrals to competitors when unavailable. However, one reviewer expressed significant dissatisfaction, claiming the estimate increased substantially during the project, alleging substandard materials and installation issues, and reporting difficulties with warranty claims and follow-up repairs. That reviewer characterized the company as taking advantage of elderly customers. Most other reviewers recommend the company for residential and commercial roofing needs.

About this average rating

This figure is a straightforward average of the public ratings we’ve gathered for this company across the following review platforms that our systems have identified: Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, CertainTeed. It is not a proprietary RooferWatch score or a judgement of our own; each source is converted to a common five-star scale and blended into a single number so that no one platform’s reviews carry outsized weight, giving a more balanced read on overall sentiment. We’d still encourage you to read the underlying reviews on each platform and weigh them for yourself.
