Southern Star Roofing replaces residential roofs across Gastonia and Gaston 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 Gastonia? Southern Star Roofing has built its reputation across Gaston County on honest inspections, clean installs, and standing behind the work. As the county's largest city, Gastonia has a deep stock of historic homes that benefit most from a complete tear-off and re-roof.
Gastonia sits about 23 miles west of our Charlotte HQ, near the Loray Mill historic district and the US-321 corridor. Neighborhoods like downtown Gastonia, York-Chester historic district and Gardner Park feature early-1900s mill-era homes plus mid-century and newer subdivisions. Roofing permits here go through the City of Gastonia with Gaston County building inspections, and our team handles that paperwork for you.
Because Gastonia homes contend with older multi-layer roofs and storms moving in from the west, 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 Gastonia replacement also qualifies for up to 100% financing for approved homeowners.
Most Gastonia replacements are torn off, decked, and re-shingled in 1 to 3 days. We don't drag jobs out.

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.
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.
