Southern Star Roofing replaces residential roofs across Swannanoa 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.
Swannanoa was hit hard by the 2024 Helene flooding, and our Asheville crews have done extensive replacement and recovery roofing across the valley since. Homeowners in Swannanoa call Southern Star Roofing because we give straight answers at the inspection, install cleanly, and back every roof with a workmanship warranty.
Set about 12 miles east of our Asheville office beside Warren Wilson College and the Swannanoa River, Swannanoa is home to the Swannanoa Valley, Grovemont and the Warren Wilson College area — an area of older valley homes and cottages plus newer construction along US-70. We pull every permit through Buncombe County building inspections (Swannanoa is an unincorporated community) so you don't have to.
Because Swannanoa homes contend with river-valley flooding exposure (seen acutely in 2024) plus mountain freeze-thaw, a complete tear-off — inspecting every square foot of decking, replacing damaged sheathing, and installing fresh underlayment and ice/water shield before the new CertainTeed system goes on — is the difference between a roof that lasts and one that fails early. Every Swannanoa replacement also qualifies for up to 100% financing for approved homeowners.
A typical Swannanoa roof is removed and rebuilt in just 1 to 3 days — in and out without living under tarps for weeks.
Our Swannanoa roofs go on as a full CertainTeed system, installed to the certification standard that protects your warranty.
Qualifying Swannanoa homeowners can finance the entire project. Don't postpone a roof your home needs.

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.
Professional, punctual, and honest. They didn't oversell us — they told us what we actually needed and delivered exactly that. The magnetic nail sweep at the end gave us real peace of mind with kids and pets. Five stars without hesitation.
From the start, the appointment was handled professionally, and the inspector arrived right on time. He was polite, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest. After a thorough roof inspection he didn't try to sell me on issues that didn't exist. That level of transparency speaks volumes.
