Roofing

We are NOT the company to get off your roof, sit you down at your table, tell you why we are the best company, why our roof system is magically better than everybody else, and convince you why you should buy a roof from us.

Here at Transform Charleston, we take an entirely different approach. Our passion is to genuinely serve you through a consultative and educational approach. Our “precision to detail”, “heart of servitude”, and “passion to educate” have been verbatim reasons why homeowners have chosen us for their roof replacements. In serving, and not selling, we believe homeowners will inevitably see our value and expertise. A new roof is a huge investment, and if not properly educated, can lead to issues down the line. The contractor’s level of installation expertise, guesstimated return on investment, average lifespan of different roofing materials, and pros/cons of different roof types all need to be considered when buying a new roof. If a roofing contactor is trying to sell you only one type of roofing material, or 1 type of roof material in 3 different ways, RUN! Different materials and the roofing contractor’s expertise related to the installation of that material need to be considered for different homeowners’ situations.

For instance, if the new roof is not installed EXACTLY according to local building code and manufacturer specifications, the manufacturer holds the authority to void their warranty. The main reason shingle manufacturers void their warranties are due to improper installation of shingles, or inadequate ventilation. Also, sometimes contractors can overprice their asphalt shingle quotes, leaving homeowners unable to see a return on their investment. When interviewing contractors on your next roofing project, it is crucial to thoroughly ask roofing installation related questions and make sure you are working with a company who truly has your best interest at heart.

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer’s Association (ARMA) did a study a few years back and found the average lifespan for a roof in the United States is actually only 18-20 years. Therefore, if you are in your forever home, or in a home that plans on being passed down to children or family, it may be a much better investment for you to choose a roofing material, such as metal or composite, that will actually last 2-3x longer than an asphalt shingle roof. Why pay for a roof three times, with inflation, when you can optimize your investment now by purchasing a roof that is built to last 50+ years.

On the contrary, if you are a homeowner planning to sell your home in the next 4-8 years, going with a luxury roofing material may not be your best bet. Asphalt shingles may be the better option, but be careful not to be misled into choosing an entry level asphalt shingle, as there are multiple different tiers for shingles. For reference, ATLAS presents 7 different asphalt shingle options. If your home is a neighborhood or area of town that appreciates at a faster rate, it may be worth considering optimizing your investment with a luxury metal roof such as Vicwest or a local standing seam metal manufacturer. A composite roofing material, such as Brava, EcoStar, or DaVinci, may be another good luxury option to transform your home and maximize your return on investment.

If consider a slate or tile roof, a composite roof is usually a much better option when it comes to return on investment and durable to handle the Charleston climate and moisture. With an identical look, you’ll never know the difference. Why pay for something that needs excessive maintenance and care when you can choose a nearly maintenance free composite roof option?

There are over 100+ roofing material options available in the Charleston, SC roofing market right now! It is crucial that you are thoroughly educating yourself when considering a roof replacement, making sure you are choosing the best roof system in line with your financial goals. With our experience, precision, and passion to treat homeowners as family, we will walk you through the roof buying process so that you are aware of all of the pitfalls and contractor gimmicks. Whether you choose Transform Charleston as your roofing contractor or not, we would love to serve you either way.

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.
