About Us
Our Story
Our journey began in Kettering, OH, where we grew a family-owned business from 3 to 33 employees in just three years. During this time, we had an epiphany: true fulfillment came from nurturing hope and potential in our team. We created a culture of self-development, accountability, and mutual support, where every employee felt valued and inspired to reach their full potential.
However, differences in vision led us to make the difficult decision to leave the family business. In a moment of uncertainty, we found clarity and purpose. The idea for Transform Charleston was born, rooted in our core values of Stewardship, Gratitude, Service, and Self-Development.
Guided by faith, we chose Charleston as our new home. As we crossed the Ashley River on Highway 17, we knew this was where we were meant to be. Our dream of living in a sunny, coastal environment had come true, and with it, the opportunity to build something truly special.
At Transform Charleston, we prioritize transforming lives over revenue. We’re committed to serving our employees, customers, and community with integrity, compassion, and excellence. Whether you choose us for your roofing, siding, gutter, or other home improvement needs, we promise to educate, guide, and support you throughout the process.
We’re not here to sell you a service; we’re here to serve you. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and comfortable with your home improvement decisions, regardless of which contractor you choose.
Thank you for considering Transform Charleston. We look forward to the opportunity to inspire, serve, and potentially transform your home.
God bless,

FAQs
What Locations Do We Serve and Services We Provide?
Transform Charleston provides roofing, siding, gutter windows, and custom home exterior services in Mount Pleasant, Charleston, Daniel Island, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, I'On, Mount Pleasant, and James Island.
Although these are the 7 primary locations we serve, we do make exceptions for referrals. If somebody is referred to us, that means the world, and therefore, we will do everything it takes to serve that customer as well.
Although window services are provided, we prefer to only do window installations and replacements when we are performing a siding replacement as that is the optimal time to do so in order to properly flash the siding.
Our main passion is to completely transform home exteriors, so custom home exterior projects are our favorite! These projects typically involve at least 3+ of our services combined on a single structure.
Why Should You Let Us Assist You with Your Storm Damage Insurance Claims?
In Charleston, roofing and siding storm damage is inevitable from wind and hail. When choosing a contractor to assist you in fixing your storm damage and helping with insurance claims, it is crucial that you choose a competent contractor who is thoroughly versed in handling insurance claims. With a ton of "roofing contractors" being busted for insurance fraud, it is all the more important to diligently choose the contractor you feel most comfortable with.
If a contractor has little to no experience, or misleads you into believing they are "insurance experts," they can detrimentally ruin your chance at getting a proper restoration of the damages. For instance, if the claim is filed incorrectly from the beginning, it can be detrimental.
If the contractor doesn't document the damages properly, with adequate building code documentation and manufacturer specifications, it can negatively impact the final decision from the insurance carriers.
If a contractor just wants to selfishly hurry up and collect a check, which most do, they will get the claim approved just enough to make the money they desire, but leave you with some of the damages not completely repaired. Yes, you may get the roof repaired or replaced, but what if your siding, gutters, and interior needed to be repaired as well? If the contractor is only a "roofing" contractor, they most likely won't want to do other repairs as they are not equipped with the infrastructure to handle them.
It is crucial to hire a roofing restoration and siding restoration contractor who knows how to properly document, assist, effectively communicate with insurance carriers, and is in the business to serve and not take.
Our founder, Brent Bauer, has served over 500+ homeowners with storm damage insurance claims ranging from Ohio, to Florida, to right here in the lowcountry. Whether hail damage or wind damage, we are here to help!
What Makes Transform Charleston Unique?
Every single day of the work week, the entire Transform Charleston team dedicates 2 hours a day to industry-specific training regarding installation practices, product knowledge, and best consultative practices to best serve homeowners.
We understand that if we are not true experts regarding this industry, inevitably, by default, we will not be able to truly serve each homeowner in their own unique way. Every homeowner is in a unique situation, with unique financial goals, and varying aspirations for their home. If we take a "one size fits all" approach to our consulting, we are no longer consultants, but rather, salespeople like every single one of our competitors.
The thought of being like everybody else is actually what motivates us to self-develop every single day. Self-development, with the passion to transform one another's lives within our culture, is what truly makes us unique. By cultivating a culture of selflessness, passion, and servitude, we treat homeowners the exact same way we would want somebody to treat our family in their roofing, siding, gutter, and custom home exterior needs.
Our core values consist of stewardship, gratitude, service, and self-development. We believe we are blessed with the gifts that we have been given, recognizing that from a heart of gratitude, we can then best serve our community and neighbors both within the business as well as outside by helping non-profits through generosity. Self-development then inevitably occurs, because without it, we lose the heart of servitude, and life then becomes about us. The moment life becomes solely about us, we lose true fulfillment.
Collectively, as a team, we believe true fulfillment comes from serving and helping one another TRANSFORM into our individual full potential. It's the small, almost seemingly insignificant disciplines that can actually have the most profound impacts. It's "The Butterfly Effect." This is why "Transforming Lives, Elevating Exteriors" is our company motto.
Precision, passion, and expertise is what we are all about!
How Can We Justify Offering Lifetime Workmanship Warranties?
Able to offer lifetime warranties because we are true experts regarding installation as well as building code and manufacturer specifications. We are obsessed with developing and learning through daily training. We believe if we do not improve daily, we will not be fit to best serve our homeowners. With this approach, we are 100% confident that all roofs will be completed with near-perfect craftsmanship and precision.
Also, with a project manager and crew leader on site during our roofing and siding projects, we meticulously watch our installation crews to ensure all installation specifications are being followed. This ensures that we do not miss anything during the installation process and gives us the ability and confidence to offer lifetime workmanship warranties.
An additional reason we can justify offering lifetime workmanship warranties is because we know asphalt shingle manufacturers, and other roofing manufacturers, are always looking for ways out of warranty claims. We believe in true, selfless, genuine service. We extend the lifetime workmanship warranties to give our homeowners additional peace of mind, knowing that when it comes to workmanship, Transform Charleston will ALWAYS deliver with precision.
You can directly see a contractor's confidence with their installation based on the length of the workmanship warranty that they are providing. If they are only offering less than a 15-year workmanship warranty, but other contractors are offering lifetime workmanship warranties, remember, this roofing and siding industry is the epitome of "You pay for what you get." Don't let contractors mislead you with their "manufacturer lifetime warranty" pitches. These are specifically only if the shingles or products prematurely fail due to manufacturing-related issues, not workmanship.
