Roofs and Rebuilding Community with Gilstrap Roofing

Having a roof over one’s head is more than just a metaphor – it’s a necessity for preserving safety, dignity, and stability. For the last 90 years, Gilstrap Roofing has been helping to restore homes to safety through roof replacements for homeowners and business owners across South Carolina. Gilstrap Roofing has built its reputation on quality materials and craftsmanship, fully licensed, bonded, and insured.

They’ve also been intentional about building community through meaningful partnerships. Since 2023, Gilstrap Roofing has been a steadfast contractor partner to Rebuild Upstate, making a real impact through:

• Replacing eleven roofs for low-income homes in situations where the existing roof no longer protects families from weather, leaks, or further damage, and helping Rebuild Upstate spend contract dollars available from the state.
• Sponsoring Rebuild Upstate’s Wake Up With Rebuild event, helping to bring awareness to more community members.
• Donating a full roof replacement valued at $4,800 when no traditional funding was available – ensuring that a family could remain in a safe, warm home rather than being displaced or forced to delay repair due to cost.

Jake Beaty, CEO of Rebuild Upstate says, “We are grateful for partners like Gilstrap Roofing who don’t just see a house – they see a family, a neighbor. Their willingness to step up when funding falls short is what turns a difficult situation into hope and safety.”

When local businesses like Gilstrap Roofing partner with nonprofits like Rebuild Upstate, they multiply impact. They help close gaps in resources, make projects possible, and build trust between neighbors, builders, and civic partners.

Thank You to Gilstrap Roofing!
