Jeanne B.

I have used Southern Trace for roof replacement, and most recently to work on my shower to make it safer as I age. The two young men who have been here are wonderful, David and Noe. Their work has been neat and my bathroom is looking so nice. Such a pleasure to see young people with good old fashioned work ethics. They both seem to take pride in their work. I would recommend this company to anyone needing home repair or renovations!

Southern Trace built a covered porch for us. They were very responsive, the workers were extremely professional an they completed the job in a timely manner. They went above an beyond. They gave me ideas when I wasn’t sure what to do. But the most important They had a project manager come daily an check the progress on the porch. I can’t say enough good about this company. I’m planning on having this company do a siding, window, gutter job on my house in the near future. I wouldn’t use anyone else.

Southern Trace replaced our old 2nd story deck, adding an enclosed screen-room and staircase. The final product exceeded my expectations, and I’m overall very happy with the experience. Warren was communicative and responsive, and worked with me on various options to bring the project in line with our budget. Their crews were respectful and efficient. I dealt mostly with Jose and Cameron, who obviously knew their stuff. If I have any future projects, Southern Trace will be my first call.

Phillip D.

Southern Trace installed a new roof, soffit, gutters and flooring for us and they were very professional with excellent communication and workmanship. They put shingles on our main roof with metal over the porches and our house looks amazing! We’ve had so many compliments on how good it looks. They are currently working on another project for us and we will continue to use them in the future. Thank you for your quick & reliable service!

Heather D.

I definitely recommend them to anyone needing prompt repairs! Their staff were very communicative, responsive, professional, and friendly; I observed a leak from my roof into my daughter’s bedroom in the wee hours of the morning. By later that morning, I had an appt with Brett to come out and assess the damages and costs for repairs. After speaking with him of my options, I was able to get an appt for the next day to have the issues fixed! By 3:30p, my roof was repaired by Warren! If you need any roof repairs or inspections done, please check these guys out!

Southern Trace replaced my roof this fall and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They completed the job as scheduled and as quoted. Warren was knowledgable and professional, thoroughly explained the process, the materials and the results that I could expect. The Southern Trace crew did an awesome job!
