About Gilstrap Roofing

Gilstrap Roofing has been a Greenville institution since 1935, making it one of the oldest continuously operating roofing companies in the Upstate. Four generations of the Gilstrap family have run this business, passing down not just the company name but the relationships with neighborhoods throughout Greenville County. What started during the Great Depression as a way to make an honest living has evolved into a full-service roofing operation, but the core approach has stayed remarkably consistent. The company still operates on handshake principles: show up when you say you will, do the work right, charge a fair price, and stand behind it. The team handles everything from minor leak repairs to complete tear-offs and replacements on residential and commercial properties. Shingle work makes up the bulk of projects, but the crew has experience with metal roofing, flat roof systems, and the specialty work that older Greenville homes sometimes require. License number G117708 has been active for decades, with the track record to match. Greenville weather throws a mix of challenges at roofing systems. Hot summers with intense UV exposure break down shingles faster than homeowners expect, while the occasional ice storm or heavy wind event from passing systems can cause sudden damage. Having a local company that has seen every type of weather-related roofing problem makes troubleshooting faster and solutions more reliable. Most customers find Gilstrap Roofing the same way their parents did: word of mouth from neighbors who have used them before. After 89 years in business, that referral network runs deep across the Upstate.

SOS Roofing

Georgetown, South Carolina
4.7(7)
Top RatedFast ResponseLocal

SOS Roofing serves Georgetown and the surrounding Lowcountry communities, providing residential roofing services in a region where hurricane exposure and coastal weather define the challenges property owners face. Georgetown County sits at the convergence of five rivers flowing into Winyah Bay, creating a coastal environment where moisture, salt air, and storm vulnerability all factor into roofing decisions. The company handles roof repairs, replacements, and inspections for homeowners dealing with age-related wear, storm damage, or proactive upgrades. South Carolina's Lowcountry receives heavy rainfall, experiences high humidity year-round, and sits directly in the path of Atlantic hurricanes during summer and fall. Those conditions accelerate roof aging and create situations where responsive contractors matter when problems develop. Georgetown's historic downtown and surrounding residential areas include properties ranging from colonial-era structures to modern construction. Each presents different roofing considerations in terms of materials, aesthetics, and structural requirements. The crew works across this range, adapting to whatever the specific situation demands. Storm damage response represents a significant service need in this region. When a hurricane or tropical storm moves through, homeowners need contractors who can respond quickly to prevent secondary water damage and who understand how to document problems for insurance purposes. SOS Roofing provides that local presence for Georgetown County property owners, with the expertise to handle both emergency situations and planned replacement projects.
