Southern Star Roofing replaces residential roofs across Montreat 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.
Southern Star Roofing is the Montreat replacement crew homeowners recommend to neighbors — owner-led, CertainTeed certified, and accountable on every job. Montreat's historic mountain cottages call for careful, character-preserving tear-offs from a crew that understands true mountain roofing.
Montreat sits about 18 miles east of our Asheville office, near the historic Montreat Conference Center and the surrounding Black Mountains. Neighborhoods like the Montreat Conference Center grounds and the cottages along Flat Creek feature historic early-1900s stone-and-frame mountain cottages. Roofing permits here go through the Town of Montreat with Buncombe County building inspections, and our team handles that paperwork for you.
With Montreat roofs facing high-elevation snow load, ice at the eaves and steep wooded terrain, we don't shortcut the tear-off: every square foot of decking gets inspected, bad sheathing is replaced, and fresh underlayment plus ice/water shield go down before the CertainTeed system. Qualifying Montreat homeowners can finance the whole project, up to 100%.
A typical Montreat roof is removed and rebuilt in just 1 to 3 days — in and out without living under tarps for weeks.
Our Montreat roofs go on as a full CertainTeed system, installed to the certification standard that protects your warranty.
Qualifying Montreat homeowners can finance the entire project. Don't postpone a roof your home needs.

Magnetic nail sweeps daily, full debris haul-off, tarped landscaping — a Southern Star signature.
Most of the replacement calls we get in Montreat trace back to high-elevation snow load, ice at the eaves and steep wooded terrain. By the time a roof around the Montreat Conference Center grounds or the cottages along Flat Creek starts showing it, the granules are already in the gutters and the mat underneath is brittle.
Montreat also skews toward historic early-1900s stone-and-frame mountain cottages, 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.

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.
After a bad storm we had leaks in two rooms. Southern Star came out fast, tarped it the same day, and had a full replacement scheduled within the week. They handled the details professionally and the workmanship is excellent. Highly recommend.
