Best Roofers in Spartanburg, SC: 5 Certified Contractors, Scored and Verified

The 5 best roofers in Spartanburg, SC, ranked on a published formula and verified individually against BBB, licence and manufacturer records. No paid placement.

Best Roofers in Spartanburg, SC: 5 Certified Contractors, Scored and Verified

Short answer: As of September 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Spartanburg, SC metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are Hayes Roofing (86.2), Grier Roofing (71.2), Carolina Roofing, Siding & Painting (68.6), Roebuck Roofing & Construction Co Inc. (54.4), Guy Roofing (53.5). Each holds a certification we verified on the manufacturer’s own register, every rating was corroborated elsewhere, and placement on this page is not for sale.

The Roofing Brief scored 5 certified roofing contractors serving the Spartanburg metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. South Carolina splits its contractor rules at $10,000, and in Spartanburg that line falls straight through the middle of a roof replacement. A residential specialty contractor registration covers roofing as a trade, but section 40-11-30 requires a full licence from the Contractor’s Licensing Board once the total cost of construction exceeds ten thousand dollars, which most full replacements in this market do. So the credential you need to ask about depends on the size of your job, and asking which of the two a contractor holds is the most useful question on this page. The metro’s other defining fact is recent: the remnants of Hurricane Helene hit Spartanburg County on 27 September 2024 as two separate disasters, a wind event and a flood, and the roofs here were tested by both.

Hail, codes and what they cost a Spartanburg homeowner

Spartanburg and Union counties logged 58 hail reports across 2016 to 2025, 40 of them an inch or larger, 35 in Spartanburg County and 5 in Union. Read the hail calendar rather than the all-reports calendar, because they differ: those 40 large-hail reports peak in May with 14, then June with 8, March with 7 and April with 7, so the hail risk here is a spring risk that tails off by July. The largest stone on the local record is 3.00 inch hail reported at 18:05 on 21 March 2017, which the National Weather Service narrative places on Interstate 85 just south of the Greenville-Spartanburg airport. Alongside the hail, the counties logged 179 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 15 tornado events, with $11.5 million in reported property damage.

Helene is the event that matters most to a Spartanburg roof, and it is worth understanding that the record logs it as two different disasters. For wind, NOAA’s Storm Events Database records Tropical Storm events on 27 September 2024 for both the Northern Spartanburg and Southern Spartanburg forecast zones, with estimated property damage of $25.00 million and $10.00 million respectively, and narratives describing gusts frequently to 70 mph and occasionally to 80 mph. For water, the same database records a flash flood for Spartanburg County beginning the same day, in which 10 to 15 inches of rain fell across the northern part of the county over three days; the North Pacolet inundated roads including Highway 14, the South Pacolet flooded Depot Street, and an 88-year-old man was killed in submerged floodwater near Landrum. A roof that survived the gusts may still have failed at the valleys and flashing under fifteen inches of rain, and two years on, that is the damage still being found.

The licensing split is the practical heart of this page. Section 40-59-20(7) of the South Carolina Code defines a residential specialty contractor as an independent contractor who contracts with a licensed residential builder, general contractor or individual property owner for work requiring specialised trades, and roofing is one of those trades. But section 40-11-30 requires a licence from the Contractor’s Licensing Board where the total cost of construction exceeds $10,000, and section 40-11-20(11) defines a general contractor as an entity that performs or supervises such work. A full roof replacement on a typical Spartanburg County house comfortably exceeds $10,000, which puts it in general contractor territory rather than specialty registration territory. So do not accept confirmation that a contractor is registered; ask which of the two credentials they hold and for the number, then check it. We were unable to verify a single South Carolina licence number for any of the five contractors below, because the state licensing lookup at the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation refused every connection throughout our research. That is a failure of our access, not a finding about these firms, but it does mean the checking here falls to you.

Two more pieces of local context. South Carolina adopts its codes centrally: section 6-9-50(A) requires the Building Codes Council to adopt by reference the International Code Council’s building, residential, gas, plumbing, mechanical, fire and energy codes along with the National Electrical Code, and to amend them as needed, so the residential code in force is a state-adopted ICC edition rather than a local one. And the housing here is newer than in most metros on this site: the median year of construction in Spartanburg County is 1992. That is largely a BMW story. BMW Manufacturing states that it employs more than 11,000 people at a 10-million-square-foot campus in the county, assembling more than 1,500 vehicles a day across two shifts, and has built more than 7.3 million cars there since production began in 1994. A metro that grew that fast from the mid-1990s has a great many roofs installed within a few years of each other, which means a great many reaching the end of a 25 to 30 year asphalt life at the same time.

1. Hayes Roofing — TRB Score 86.2

Hayes Roofing is based in Inman, SC, led by Taylor B Hayes and Ashley Hayes, BBB accredited since 6 May 2022, A+ rating; business start date 30 March 2018, one complaint closed in the last three years, and holds President’s Club standing on the GAF certification registry.

Independently corroborated:

  • BBB lists Hayes Roofing, LLC at 5083 Highway 9, Inman, accredited since 6 May 2022 with an A+ rating, a business start date of 30 March 2018, Taylor B Hayes and Ashley Hayes as owners, and one complaint closed in the last three years.. BBB business profile
  • GAF lists Hayes Roofing LLC of Inman, SC in its residential contractor directory at President’s Club level.. GAF contractor directory

What they actually do. Residential roofing.

Why it ranks here. The top score in the metro by a clear margin, on President’s Club certification and 4.8 across 352 reviews, which is the best combination of tier and customer record here. It is BBB accredited at A+ since 2022, it is owner-named on the BBB record, and it is the only firm in the top three that is purely residential, which is what most readers of this page need.

Best fit for: The default first call for a residential replacement in Spartanburg County.

What we would want clarified. It is the youngest of the established firms here, with a BBB business start date of 30 March 2018, and it publishes no founding year of its own. It carries one complaint closed with the BBB in the last three years, the only complaint recorded against any of the top three. It publishes no manufacturer credential outside GAF, and no South Carolina licence number could be verified. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (864) 586-3338, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.

2. Grier Roofing — TRB Score 71.2

Grier Roofing is based in Wellford, SC, in business since 1993, Not accredited and carries no BBB rating; BBB records a 1994 business start date at a different Inman address, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.

  • BBB lists Grier Roofing, LLC at 9329 Asheville Hwy, Inman, on the same phone number as the GAF registry entry, as not accredited and with no rating, recording a 1994 business start date.. BBB business profile
  • GAF lists Grier Roofing LLC of Wellford, SC in its residential contractor directory at Master Elite level.. GAF contractor directory

What they actually do. Residential roof replacement and repairs, storm and hail damage, insurance claim work, commercial roof restoration, installation and maintenance, infrared leak diagnostics and daylighting.

Why it ranks here. Master Elite certification with 4.7 across 220 reviews and, on its own account, serving the Carolinas since 1993, which makes it the second-longest-established firm here. It offers the most technical service list in the metro, including infrared scanning for leak diagnostics, which is genuinely useful on the kind of hidden water damage Helene left behind, and daylighting work.

Best fit for: Tracing a leak you cannot find, and commercial or mixed-use roofs alongside residential work.

What we would want clarified. Its public records do not line up and we could not reconcile them. The BBB profile carries the same phone number as the GAF registry but a different address, in Inman rather than Wellford, records the business start as 1994 against the company’s own 1993, and spells the owner’s surname differently. That profile is also not accredited and carries no BBB rating at all, so there is no independent assessment of the firm to weigh. No South Carolina licence number could be verified, and no manufacturer credential outside GAF is published. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (864) 578-0968, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.

3. Carolina Roofing, Siding & Painting — TRB Score 68.6

Independently corroborated:

  • GAF lists Carolina Roofing Siding Painting LLC of Campobello, SC in its residential contractor directory at Master Elite level.. GAF contractor directory

What they actually do. Roofing, siding and painting.

Why it ranks here. On the numbers this is the best-rated contractor in the metro, 4.9 across 39 reviews, holding Master Elite certification, and it runs a site covering roofing, siding and painting with about-us, services, service-area and reviews pages.

Best fit for: A roof and exterior painting job together, if you are willing to do the verification yourself.

What we would want clarified. This is the thinnest entry on the page and we are flagging it rather than dressing it up. Its own website returned an access error to every attempt we made from two different routes, so nothing here comes from the company itself. It has no Better Business Bureau profile that searches of Campobello, Greenville or Charlotte return, so there is no independent record of it at all beyond the GAF listing. No address, owner, founding year or licence number could be established, and its registry telephone number carries a Charlotte, North Carolina area code rather than the local one used across the rest of this metro, which we found no explanation for and draw no conclusion from. Treat the rating as real but unverified, and do your own checks before engaging them. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (704) 804-1856, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.

4. Roebuck Roofing & Construction Co Inc. — TRB Score 54.4

Roebuck Roofing & Construction Co Inc. is based in Roebuck, SC, in business since 1970, led by Alexis Gilfillan Phillips, President; Lisa Gilfillan, Vice President, Not accredited, A+ rating; business start date 1970, no complaints closed in the last three years and no customer reviews on file, and holds Certified standing on the GAF certification registry.

Independently corroborated:

  • BBB lists Roebuck Roofing & Construction Co Inc. at 3713 S Church Street Ext, Roebuck, rated A+ though not accredited, with a business start date of 1970, Alexis Gilfillan Phillips as President and Lisa Gilfillan as Vice President, and no complaints closed in the last three years.. BBB business profile

What they actually do. Roof installation and repair.

Why it ranks here. One of the two oldest businesses in the metro, with a BBB business start date of 1970, and one of only two firms here led by named women. It carries an A+ BBB rating with no complaints closed in the last three years, and it does roofing and nothing else, which after five decades in one small town is its own kind of credential.

Best fit for: Homeowners who want a long-standing local firm doing straightforward roof installation and repair.

What we would want clarified. It has no website at all, so everything above comes from the BBB record rather than the company. Its BBB profile is not accredited and holds no customer reviews to cross-check, and its 36 registry reviews at 4.6 are a modest record. It holds base-tier GAF Certified status rather than Master Elite. No South Carolina licence number could be verified. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (864) 347-2745, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.

5. Guy Roofing — TRB Score 53.5

Guy Roofing is based in Spartanburg, SC, in business since 1970, BBB accredited since 17 May 2007, A+ rating; 11 complaints closed in the last three years against 23 BBB reviews, and holds Certified standing on the GAF certification registry.

Score component Points Max
Certification tier 12 35
Adjusted rating 16.5 40
Review corpus depth 15.0 15
Metro proximity 10.0 10
Total 53.5 100

Independently corroborated:

  • BBB lists Guy Roofing, Inc. at 201 Jones Rd, Spartanburg, as accredited since 17 May 2007 with an A+ rating, and independently records a 1970 founding.. BBB business profile
  • A separate BBB profile exists for Guy Roofing Charlotte at 1100 Concord Pkwy N, Concord, North Carolina, consistent with the company’s published branch network.. Better Business Bureau, Concord, North Carolina profile
  • GAF lists Guy Roofing Inc of Spartanburg, SC in its residential contractor directory.. GAF contractor directory

What they actually do. Commercial, residential and industrial roofing, repair, replacement and maintenance, plus siding, gutters and windows.

Why it ranks here. The oldest and largest roofing business in the metro, family-owned and founded in 1970, headquartered on Jones Road in Spartanburg. It is the only firm here with a branch network, publishing location pages for Columbia, Greenville, Georgetown, Murrells Inlet, Myrtle Beach, Mount Pleasant and Spartanburg in South Carolina and Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro and Wilmington in North Carolina, and it has been BBB accredited at A+ since 2007. With 1,009 registry reviews it has more customer feedback on record than the other four on this page combined.

Best fit for: Commercial or industrial roofs, and large or complex residential jobs where a fifty-five-year-old regional contractor’s capacity matters.

What we would want clarified. This is a trade-off rather than a flaw, and you should see it clearly. Guy Roofing has the deepest review record here and the lowest average, 4.4, and it holds base-tier GAF Certified status rather than Master Elite, which is why it ranks fifth on our formula despite being the metro’s biggest name. Its BBB record shows 11 complaints closed in the last three years against 23 BBB reviews, alongside that A+ rating and accreditation since 2007. We were unable to read the substance of any complaint or negative review, because the BBB serves those narratives only to a browser and the company’s own site blocked every request we made, so we state the count and decline to characterise what the complaints allege. On a 55-year-old firm running eleven branches across two states, a higher absolute complaint count is partly a function of volume. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (800) 771-0778, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.

What 3.0 inch hail does to a Spartanburg roof

Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 2 counties of the Spartanburg, SC statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 58 hail reports, 179 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 15 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $11.5 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.

The biggest hail to fall on Spartanburg in a decade

Date Stone size Reported near County
21 March 2017 3.0 in Spartanburg Spartanburg
4 May 2020 1.75 in East Greer Spartanburg
4 May 2020 1.75 in Cross Anchor Spartanburg
7 September 2023 1.75 in Boiling Spgs Spartanburg
8 May 2024 1.75 in Santuc Union
14 March 2016 1.75 in Spartanburg Spartanburg

The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 21 March 2017 near Spartanburg, measured at 3.0 inches. That is baseball sized, comfortably past the point where a roof is written off rather than repaired.

Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 75 knots, about 86 mph, near Delta on 25 March 2021. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.

Tornadoes. 15 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF2 near Una on 23 October 2017.

What the National Weather Service wrote about it

The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 25 March 2021 event near Delta, reproduced verbatim:

NWS storm survey found multiple trees snapped or uprooted roughly along and just north of Highway 72 from the Newberry County line to near Carlisle.

That is what the specification has to anticipate here, written up by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.

When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in June (58), July (47), May (40). The worst years on record were 2020 (37), 2024 (35), 2017 (34). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Spartanburg, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.

Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, county-level detail files 2016 to 2025, filtered to the counties of this statistical area by The Roofing Brief. Damage figures are as reported to the NWS and undercount insured losses.

What to do with this. Hail is not the governing risk in Spartanburg. Weight your decision toward wind rating, ventilation and flashing detail rather than paying extra for impact-rated shingles.

What a Spartanburg homeowner should ask for in writing

Licensing is required in SC. South Carolina registers residential roofers rather than examining them. Under S.C. Code 40-59 a residential specialty contractor, roofing included, must register with the Residential Builders Commission for any job over $500, with no exam required, and must file a $5,000 surety bond before taking on work over $5,000. Contracting without registration is a misdemeanour, and an unregistered contractor cannot file a lien or sue to enforce the contract.

A specialty registration covers up to three trades; anyone wanting more must be examined and licensed as a residential builder, with a $15,000 bond. Commercial work falls under the separate Contractor’s Licensing Board. S.C. Code 40-59-25 gives a homeowner five business days after a written insurance denial to cancel a roofing contract, and bars contractors from promising to pay or rebate a deductible or negotiating a roof claim on the owner’s behalf.

Check here: South Carolina LLR licence lookup. For a house, a residential specialty registration in roofing is the correct credential, so ask for its number and confirm the $5,000 bond is filed if the job exceeds $5,000.

Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.

  1. Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
  2. Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
  3. Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
  4. Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.

The shape of the Spartanburg contractor market

How these Spartanburg rankings were produced

Every contractor in the Spartanburg, SC pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 5 certified contractors, of whom 1 hold President’s Club standing and 2 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.68. The top five were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. The findings are printed above whether they flatter the contractor or not, and nobody paid to appear.

The full method, the weightings, what the GAF certification tiers actually mean, who is eligible to be ranked and what we do not claim are all set out on our roofer ranking methodology page.

The questions that come up most in Spartanburg

Who is the best roofer in Spartanburg, SC?

Hayes Roofing of Inman, SC scores highest in the Spartanburg metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score, at 86.2 out of 100 as of September 2026. It holds President’s Club certification with a 4.8 rating across 352 reviews. Highest-scoring is not the same as best fit for your specific job, and the four companies behind it score within 32.7 points.

How many certified roofing contractors serve Spartanburg?

5 contractors on the GAF certification registry serve the principal cities of the Spartanburg, SC statistical area as of September 2026, of which 1 hold President’s Club status.

How much damaging hail does Spartanburg get?

The Spartanburg, SC statistical area recorded 40 hail reports of 1 inch or larger and 1 of 2 inches or larger between 2016 and 2025 in the NOAA Storm Events Database. The largest hailstone reported measured 3.0 inches.

Did any contractor pay to appear on this list?

No. The Roofing Brief takes no placement fees, no lead fees and no affiliate commission from any roofing contractor. Ranking comes entirely from the published formula applied to public registry data, followed by an individual research pass on the top five.

What was the worst hailstorm in Spartanburg in the last ten years?

The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the Spartanburg, SC statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 3.0 inches, reported near Spartanburg on 21 March 2017. That is baseball sized, comfortably past the point where a roof is written off rather than repaired. Across the decade the metro recorded 58 hail reports. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $11.5 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.

When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Spartanburg?

Severe-weather reports in the Spartanburg, SC statistical area cluster in June, July, May, on the NOAA record for 2016 to 2025. If the work can wait, booking outside that window usually buys you shorter lead times and more of the contractor’s attention.

Do roofers need a licence in SC?

South Carolina registers residential roofers rather than examining them. Under S.C. Code 40-59 a residential specialty contractor, roofing included, must register with the Residential Builders Commission for any job over $500, with no exam required, and must file a $5,000 surety bond before taking on work over $5,000. Contracting without registration is a misdemeanour, and an unregistered contractor cannot file a lien or sue to enforce the contract. A specialty registration covers up to three trades; anyone wanting more must be examined and licensed as a residential builder, with a $15,000 bond. Commercial work falls under the separate Contractor’s Licensing Board. S.C. Code 40-59-25 gives a homeowner five business days after a written insurance denial to cancel a roofing contract, and bars contractors from promising to pay or rebate a deductible or negotiating a roof claim on the owner’s behalf.

What should I check before hiring a roofer in Spartanburg?

For a house, a residential specialty registration in roofing is the correct credential, so ask for its number and confirm the $5,000 bond is filed if the job exceeds $5,000.

Is Spartanburg a hard market to find a good roofer in?

South Carolina splits its contractor rules at $10,000, and in Spartanburg that line falls straight through the middle of a roof replacement. A residential specialty contractor registration covers roofing as a trade, but section 40-11-30 requires a full licence from the Contractor’s Licensing Board once the total cost of construction exceeds ten thousand dollars, which most full replacements in this market do. So the credential you need to ask about depends on the size of your job, and asking which of the two a contractor holds is the most useful question on this page. The metro’s other defining fact is recent: the remnants of Hurricane Helene hit Spartanburg County on 27 September 2024 as two separate disasters, a wind event and a flood, and the roofs here were tested by both.

Is wind or hail the bigger risk to a roof in Spartanburg?

Wind, by a wide margin. The Spartanburg, SC statistical area logged 179 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports against 40 hail reports of an inch or more between 2016 and 2025. Wind damage shows up at the rake, ridge and edge rather than across the field of the roof, so the fastening schedule and edge detail matter more here than the impact rating of the shingle.
