Roof replacement, repair, metal roofing, and gutters across Cornelius and the I-77 corridor and Lake Norman waterfront. Owner-led crews, CertainTeed ShingleMaster certified, and an honest answer about what your roof actually needs.
Drive Cornelius and the pattern is hard to miss - a mix of 1990s-2000s lake homes and newer walkable-village construction. With about 36,000 residents across Mecklenburg County, we've spent years on roofs in The Peninsula, Antiquity, Bailey's Glen. the Town of Cornelius Planning Department handles permitting; we take care of filing and inspection.
Lakefront homes here carry larger, more complex roof lines that reward a full system rather than a patch. So we scope every job on site in Cornelius rather than from a satellite image - the roof two streets over often needs something completely different.
Roofing is a trade with a reputation problem. Here's how we work against it.
Whatever your roof needs, the same owner-led crew handles it — no subcontractors handed your address. Every job in Cornelius starts with the same on-site inspection and the same itemized written estimate.
Southern Star Roofing serves all of Cornelius and the surrounding Mecklenburg County area from our Charlotte headquarters. Because our crews are already working the I-77 corridor and Lake Norman waterfront most days, we're not dispatching a truck across the region to reach you — which is why same-day and next-day response on leaks is realistic here rather than a marketing promise.

From the start, the appointment was handled professionally, and Jonny White arrived right on time. He was polite, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest. After completing a thorough roof inspection, he didn't try to sell me on repairs or 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. Look at warranties — 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 they had the most competitive price and service. Brandon was very reactive to my questions and great to communicate with. The team that came out was great — old roof removed quickly, my house was protected, and the total replacement was done in 2 days.
Had Southern Star Roofing replace my gutters. I worked with Jonny to get an estimate that met all my needs. He was responsive and answered all my questions. The installers came out as scheduled and did an excellent job. Once completed, the team stayed engaged with me to register all my warranty paperwork.
The experience working with Southern Star was outstanding from my initial conversation to the completion of the project. Everyone was pleasant and very responsive. The work was completed within the time promised, and Jonny even came back to take additional pictures of the completed roof for my insurance company.
This is my SECOND roof with Southern Star! Brandon and Kristi responded quickly and professionally to my many requests for information and made us feel very comfortable with our choice. They were on time, did the job well with thorough cleanup, and followed up with great communication. I would hire them again in a second.

Residential roof replacements in Cornelius are permitted through the Town of Cornelius Planning Department. We pull the permit as part of the job and handle the inspection, so you're not chasing paperwork. Smaller repairs often fall below the permit threshold - we'll tell you which applies before work starts.
We answer the phone and aim for same-day or next-day response on active leaks in Cornelius. Our crews work the I-77 corridor and Lake Norman waterfront daily, so we're not routing a truck across the region to reach you. Call (704) 937-7663 and we'll give you an honest arrival window.
With a mix of 1990s-2000s lake homes and newer walkable-village construction, the recurring issues we find in Cornelius are aging builder-grade shingles, worn pipe-boot and step flashing, and inadequate attic ventilation. Lakefront homes here carry larger, more complex roof lines that reward a full system rather than a patch.
It depends on square footage, pitch, how many layers come off, and the condition of the decking underneath - which is why we won't quote a Cornelius roof over the phone. You get a written, itemized estimate after an on-site inspection, and financing up to 100% is available.
Yes. We document the damage properly, meet the adjuster on site, and make sure the scope reflects what the roof actually needs. We'll also tell you honestly when damage doesn't rise to a claim - filing a losing claim helps nobody.
Most single-family Cornelius roofs are a one-day tear-off and install, with larger or steeper homes running into a second day. We protect landscaping, run magnets for nails, and leave the site clean - you shouldn't be finding debris a week later.
Yes - up to 100% financing for qualifying homeowners, with several term options. A roof rarely fails at a convenient moment, and financing keeps a sudden replacement from becoming an emergency.
We work across all of Mecklenburg County. Pick your town for local detail, or see every Mecklenburg County location.
