Meet Brandon Johnson
"I grew up watching neighbors get burned by roofing contractors who over-promised, under-delivered, and disappeared. I started Southern Star because Charlotte deserved better."
When Brandon Johnson founded Southern Star Roofing in 2010, the goal wasn't to be the biggest — it was to be the roofer homeowners actually recommend to their neighbors. Fifteen years and more than 5,000 completed roofs later, that word-of-mouth reputation is the reason the majority of our work still comes from referrals.
Brandon personally oversees operations from our Charlotte headquarters, regularly joining project managers on-site to inspect quality. If you hire Southern Star, you're not dealing with a faceless national brand — you're dealing with the owner, directly.
The Southern Star Difference
Family-Owned, Locally Rooted
We're not a national chain or a storm-chasing out-of-state crew. We live, work, and raise our families in the Carolinas — and our reputation depends on it.
Zero High-Pressure Sales
We send educators, not closers. Our inspectors tell you honestly what your roof needs — and just as importantly, what it doesn't.
Premium-Only Materials
We install CertainTeed ShingleMaster products and carry their top-tier certifications. We don't use builder-grade shingles. Period.
Fast, Clean Installations
Most residential replacements finish in 1–3 days. Every crew ends each day with full cleanup — magnet sweeps, debris hauled, lawn undamaged.
Double-Backed Warranty
Our 2-year workmanship warranty is paired with CertainTeed's full manufacturer coverage — some plans extend to lifetime material protection.
Owner Accessible
Call the main line and you can reach Brandon directly. Our customers are never passed off to a call center or offshore support.
A Team You'll Actually Know
From your first phone call to your final walkthrough, you're working with real people who live here.

The Carolinas' Most Trusted Roofers
"Jonny was polite, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest. After completing a thorough roof inspection, he didn't try to sell me on repairs that didn't exist. I left feeling informed, respected, and confident in the guidance I was given."
"This is our second time hiring Southern Star Roofing. The owner, Brandon, is readily available, happy to answer questions, and guided us through the entire process. Their pricing was super competitive and they stand behind their work. Bottom line — would recommend them!"
"I worked with Brandon at Southern Star to install a new roof. I received quotes from many other companies and they had the most competitive price and service. The total roof replacement was done in 2 days — way faster than I thought possible. Highly recommend!"
"This is my SECOND roof with Southern Star! Brandon and Kristi responded quickly and professionally. They were on time, did the job well, with thorough clean-up and followed up the job with great communication. I would hire them again in a second."
"Had Southern Star Roofing replace my gutters. I worked with Jonny to get an estimate that met all my needs. The installers did an excellent job. Southern Star stayed engaged with me to get all my warranty stuff registered. That next call will be to Southern Star Roofing!"
"Sales rep was great, I got a great price, great work, they kept me informed. Started and finished on time. No headaches. I highly recommend Southern Star Roofing. Great financing as well!"
