Southern Star Roofing replaces residential roofs across Candler and Buncombe County with premium CertainTeed architectural shingles or standing-seam metal — most jobs finished in 1 to 3 days, with magnetic nail sweeps, full debris removal, and a final walkthrough.
Looking for the best roofing company in Candler? Southern Star Roofing has built its reputation across Buncombe County on honest inspections, clean installs, and standing behind the work. Candler sits just west of Asheville in the Hominy Valley, an easy reach for our mountain crews.
Candler sits about 8 miles west of our Asheville office, near the historic Enka mill site and Hominy Creek. Neighborhoods like the Enka-Candler area, Hominy Valley and the Smokey Park Highway corridor feature a mix of mid-century valley homes and newer hillside construction. Roofing permits here go through Buncombe County building inspections (Candler is an unincorporated community), and our team handles that paperwork for you.
Candler's exposure to mountain freeze-thaw and heavy rain running off the surrounding ridges is exactly why a full, properly detailed replacement matters — complete tear-off, decking inspection, new underlayment and ice/water shield, then the CertainTeed system on top. And with up to 100% financing available, a roof Candler homeowners need doesn't have to wait on cash.
Most Candler replacements are torn off, decked, and re-shingled in 1 to 3 days. We don't drag jobs out.
As CertainTeed ShingleMaster contractors, every Candler install uses the complete Integrity Roof System, not just shingles.
We offer up to 100% financing for qualified Candler homeowners, with plain options reviewed at your free estimate.
CertainTeed's lifetime limited shingle warranty plus our own workmanship warranty on every install.
On Candler jobs you deal with owner Brandon Johnson and his crews directly — never an answering service.
Reviewers in and around Candler call out our cleanup: magnetic sweeps, full haul-off, tarped plantings.
Most of the replacement calls we get in Candler trace back to mountain freeze-thaw and heavy rain running off the surrounding ridges. By the time a roof around the Enka-Candler area or Hominy Valley starts showing it, the granules are already in the gutters and the mat underneath is brittle.
Candler also skews toward a mix of mid-century valley homes and newer hillside construction, so two houses on the same street can need very different scopes. That's why we inspect the decking on every job rather than quoting off a satellite photo.
Sitting about 8 miles west of our Asheville office near the historic Enka mill site and Hominy Creek, Candler is squarely in our Asheville service zone, so getting a crew out for a free look is quick. If you're weighing repair versus replacement, that honest inspection is where we start.

Set about 8 miles west of our Asheville office near the historic Enka mill site and Hominy Creek, Candler sees mountain freeze-thaw and heavy rain running off the surrounding ridges, and our crews plan each replacement around it. We also handle permitting through Buncombe County building inspections (Candler is an unincorporated community) so the paperwork never lands on you.
In short: Candler roofs near the historic Enka mill site and Hominy Creek contend with mountain freeze-thaw and heavy rain running off the surrounding ridges, the housing runs to a mix of mid-century valley homes and newer hillside construction, the neighborhoods include the Enka-Candler area, Hominy Valley and the Smokey Park Highway corridor, permits are handled through Buncombe County building inspections (Candler is an unincorporated community), and we're about 8 miles west of our Asheville office — so a free local inspection is easy to schedule.

The owner, Brandon, is readily available, happy to answer questions, and guided us through the entire process. The crew came in quickly and were efficient but didn't cut corners. This company stands behind their work in ways cheaper companies did not. This is our second time hiring them.
I received quotes from many other companies and Southern Star had the most competitive price and service. Brandon was very reactive to my questions. The team removed the old roof quickly, protected my house, and the total replacement was done in two days. Spotless cleanup.
Outstanding from quote to cleanup. They walked the roof with me, explained exactly what they'd do, and the written estimate matched the final bill to the penny. The new roof looks fantastic and the crew left the yard cleaner than they found it.
