READ MORE FAQS

Is SCC Roofing licensed and insured?

Absolutely. SCC Roofing is fully licensed and insured in South Carolina. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect you and your property on every project. Doing it right starts with doing it responsibly.

How long have you been in business?

Experience built on integrity.
We’re a veteran-owned roofing company built on more than a decade of combined industry experience. We started SCC Roofing after seeing how many companies cut corners. Our mission is to raise the standard for roofing in South Carolina.

Do you offer warranties on your work?

Yes, and they’re among the best in the industry.
Every roof we install comes with a minimum 5-year labor warranty, and our top packages include lifetime coverage. You’ll also receive full manufacturer warranties on all materials. Our Freedom Guard Maintenance Plan adds annual inspections, priority storm response, and long-term peace of mind.

What roofing materials do you use?

Only trusted, proven products.
We use top-tier materials from manufacturers like IKO and TAMKO, and we never reuse or layer old shingles. Whether you choose our Rock Solid, Citadel, Flagship, or Premier package, you receive a complete roofing system built for performance, not just appearance.

Can I see examples of your work?

Absolutely, and you’ll get your own project gallery.
Every roof we install is documented start to finish in CompanyCam with detailed before and after photos and video walkthroughs. Once your project begins, you’ll receive a personal link to your gallery so you can follow along in real time. If you want to see completed projects ahead of time, visit the “Our Work” section on our website.

How does your installation process work?

Clear communication from start to finish.
From your first inspection to your final cleanup, you’ll know what’s happening and who is on site. Your project manager provides updates every step of the way, and our crews follow strict cleanup and property protection standards.

How much will it cost, and what’s included?

Transparent, straightforward estimates. No surprises.
Our proposals are clear, concise, and built to help you make confident decisions. Every estimate outlines the materials, warranties, and workmanship included with your chosen package, so you know exactly what you’re getting before we start. We don’t do hidden fees or fine print. Just honest pricing and solid value.

What makes your roofing packages different?

Tailored protection for every home.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all roofing. Our packages, from Rock Solid to Premier, are built to meet different performance goals, warranties, and budgets. Each includes a complete roofing system, not just shingles, and is backed by our quality standards and veteran-led installation process.

What happens if there’s a problem after the job?

We stand behind every roof we build.
If something comes up, we take care of it fast. Our workmanship warranty covers our labor, and Freedom Guard members receive priority scheduling, free emergency tarping, and repair credits that keep your home protected long term.

Why should I choose SCCR over another company?

Because integrity still matters.
We didn’t start SCC Roofing to be the biggest. We started it to be the most trusted. As a veteran-owned, community-focused company, we take pride in doing things the right way, not the fast way. We slow down, communicate clearly, and treat your home with the same care we expect for our own.
Our motto says it best. Integrity First. Service Always.
