First, an honest disclosure
We're a roofing company writing about roofing companies, and we put ourselves first on the list. You should be skeptical of that, so here's the deal: the criteria are spelled out below, the competitors are real companies we respect (with links to their sites), and every fact is verifiable on Google, the BBB, or the companies' own websites. And one more disclosure, the good kind: Blythewood is home. This company was started in Blythewood before the shop moved to West Columbia, and owner Chris Lambeth still lives in town today. This isn't a market we drive to; it's the one we live in. If another company on this list fits your project better, they'll do right by you too.
How we ranked them: the criteria
Every company here clears the basics: South Carolina licensing, insurance, a permanent local presence, and a verifiable review history. To order them, we weighed:
- Google rating and review volume: the largest unfiltered sample of real customer experiences (figures as of July 2026).
- Track record on the northeast side: actual completed work in Blythewood, Northeast Columbia, and the surrounding corridor.
- Range of services: repair and maintenance as well as replacement. A company that only sells new roofs tends to recommend new roofs.
- Local ownership and longevity: owners who live here answer for their work for years, not weeks.
- Transparency: written itemized estimates, clear warranties, honest repair-vs-replace advice.

What Blythewood roofs deal with
Blythewood isn't old Columbia. Three things shape roofing decisions up here:
- The building boom is coming due. Whole neighborhoods went up in the 2000s and 2010s, from Cobblestone Park to the subdivisions off Syrup Mill and Blythewood Road, and those builder-grade roofs are hitting the 15-20 year wall together. Builder shortcuts in flashing and ventilation show up first; our Northeast Columbia flashing rebuild is exactly that story.
- Bigger roofs, bigger numbers. Executive homes with steep pitches, multiple gables, and complex rooflines carry more squares and more cut-in work, which is why Blythewood replacements often land in the upper half of the $8,000-$18,000 range.
- Open storm exposure. Wind and hail sweep the I-77 corridor every year. If a storm has been through, our insurance claims guide covers how the process actually works, and inspection with documentation is free.
Red flags, no matter who you call
- Door-knockers after a storm with out-of-state plates. If the company wasn't here before the hail, it won't be here when the warranty matters.
- Demands for full payment before any work starts. A deposit on a larger project is normal. Being pressured to pay most of the job up front, in cash, to a company with no local track record is not.
- No written, itemized estimate. "We'll take care of everything" is not a scope of work.
- Pressure to sign today. A legitimate quote is still good next week.
- No verifiable SC license or insurance certificate. Check any contractor at the state LLR lookup before signing.
