Who is Beaver Roofing & Gutters?
Quick answer
Beaver Roofing & Gutters is a licensed, insured and bonded roofing contractor at 3190 Leaphart Rd in West Columbia, SC, serving the Midlands and any home within 90 minutes of West Columbia since 2011. We handle roof replacement, roof repair, storm and hail damage insurance claims, metal roofing, seamless gutters and commercial roofing, and we hold a 4.9-star rating from 440+ Google reviews.
We are a West Columbia roofing company operating out of one shop on Leaphart Road. Beaver Roofing grew out of the roofing and gutter divisions of Anthony John Construction, which we absorbed, and we have been putting roofs on Midlands homes since 2011. The crews are ours: the same install crews and office staff are the same people you will deal with from inspection to final magnet sweep.
Two things make a difference on your project. First, we do full tear-offs and install complete systems — synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water membrane in the valleys, new drip edge, new pipe boots, balanced ridge and soffit ventilation — because a shingle is only as good as what is under and around it. Second, when a storm is involved, you have a professional insurance claims estimator on your side of the table.

We speak insurance — because our estimators write claims for a living
Most roofing companies hand you a one-page proposal and tell you to "call your insurance." Beaver Roofing is different in a way that matters on the day the adjuster shows up: our estimators handle insurance claims every day and write in Xactimate and Symbility — the two estimating platforms your carrier's adjuster uses — and work to USAA, State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, Nationwide and every major carrier writing in South Carolina — with the deepest experience in USAA and State Farm claims.
That means your damage report is not a guess. It is a line-item scope with unit pricing, slope-by-slope photo documentation, test squares, and code items your carrier is obligated to pay for under South Carolina practice: drip edge, ice-and-water shield in valleys, starter course, ridge vent, and steep/high charges where they apply.
- We meet your adjuster on the roof. Nobody scopes your roof without a Beaver estimator standing there with them.
- We file supplements. When the first estimate misses items — and it usually does — we document and re-file until the scope matches the real repair.
- We handle the paperwork. ACV and RCV explanation, depreciation release, mortgage-company endorsement of the check, certificate of completion.
- We handle more than the roof. Water mitigation, interior/exterior repairs and hazardous work like lead and asbestos abatement go through our sister company Anthony John Construction, so one team can put the house back together after a claim.
- We tell you when you don't have a claim. If your roof is just old, that is not covered, and we will say so instead of filing a doomed claim.
How we document a claim
- Every slope inspected. Not one representative slope — all of them, with dated photos.
- Chalked test squares. A 10' x 10' square on each slope, hail hits circled and counted against carrier thresholds.
- Collateral damage. Dented gutters, HVAC fins, soft metals, window wraps — photographed and tied to the same storm.
- Xactimate line items. Drip edge, ice-and-water shield in valleys, starter course, ridge vent, steep/high charges where they apply.
- Adjuster meeting on the roof. A Beaver estimator is there when the carrier's adjuster scopes your roof.
South Carolina claim deadline
In South Carolina you generally have one year from the date of loss under most homeowner policy provisions to file a windstorm or hail claim, and a three-year statute of limitations to bring suit on a property insurance contract. Do not sit on storm damage — get it documented.

What Midlands homeowners say
Real reviews mention our crew by name. That is what happens when the same local people show up on every job.
★★★★★
“The crew lead came out the day after the May hail, chalked test squares and photographed every slope. When our State Farm adjuster only wanted to pay for two slopes, our estimator filed a supplement with the Xactimate line items and the full roof got approved. We paid our deductible and nothing else.”
★★★★★
“The install crew tore off and replaced 26 squares on our 1974 ranch off Leaphart Road in one day. They ran magnets over the driveway twice and hand-picked pine straw out of the beds. Truly the best dam roofers in the Midlands.”
★★★★★
“We had water staining in the hallway after a July thunderstorm. Our repair tech found the actual problem — a failed pipe boot, not the shingles — and fixed it for a couple hundred dollars instead of selling us a roof. That honesty is why we've since had them do our gutters.”
★★★★★
“Standing seam metal on a lake house is not a small decision. Our metal roofing crew lead walked us through panel gauge, fastener systems and how it would handle the wind coming off Lake Murray. Two years in, zero issues, and the attic runs noticeably cooler.”
★★★★★
“Our office staff kept me updated every single day of our claim. I never had to chase anybody. The gutter crew added 6-inch seamless runs with micro-mesh guards and our crawlspace moisture problem stopped.”
★★★★★
“They tarped our roof at 9pm on a Sunday after a pine limb came through. No emergency gouging, no games. The permanent repair matched the existing shingles so well you cannot find it from the street.”
Roofing questions Midlands homeowners ask us most
How much does a new roof cost in the Columbia, SC area?
Most Midlands homeowners pay $9,500 to $26,000 for a complete architectural shingle roof in 2026, or roughly $4.75–$8.25 per square foot installed. A 2,000 sq ft Lexington County ranch usually lands between $12,000 and $15,500. Standing seam metal runs $21,000–$58,000 depending on size. Our 2026 cost guide breaks it down by roof size and material.
Do you handle the insurance claim for me?
Yes — and that is the reason most people call us. our estimators are professional insurance claims estimators who write scopes in Xactimate and Symbility, the two platforms your carrier's adjuster uses. We document every slope, meet the adjuster on the roof, file supplements when items are missed, and walk the paperwork through depreciation release. See our storm damage and claims process.
What is included in the free 19-point roof inspection?
An estimator — never a commissioned door-knocker — walks your roof and checks field shingles, ridge, hips, valleys, every penetration, pipe boots, step and counter flashing, chimney crickets, skylight curbs, drip edge, gutter attachment, decking condition, attic intake and exhaust ventilation, sheathing staining, fastener condition and interior stains. You get photos of everything, including what is perfectly fine, plus a written estimate. No cost, no obligation.
How fast can you tarp a leaking roof?
We run 24/7 emergency tarping across the Midlands and any home within 90 minutes of West Columbia. Call (803) 991-7663 and the on-call estimator is dispatched — most West Columbia, Cayce, Columbia and Lexington addresses are reached within a couple of hours. Emergency tarping is priced normally; we do not surge-price storms.
How long does a roof replacement take?
One day for most single-family Midlands homes. Two to three days on 40+ square homes, steep pitches, multiple dormers or when extensive decking replacement is needed. We stage material the day before and never leave a deck open overnight — if weather threatens, the roof gets dried in with underlayment before we stop.
Are you licensed, insured and bonded in South Carolina?
Yes. Beaver Roofing & Gutters is fully insured and bonded, works under South Carolina residential builder licensing held by our ownership, is BBB A+ Accredited, a Lexington Chamber member, Angi Certified and HomeAdvisor Top Rated. We were voted Lexington Chronicle "Lexington's Best" roofing company in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and "Lexington's Best" gutter installer in 2023 and 2024. Certificates are available on request before work starts.
Do you install gutters as well as roofs?
We do, and we form them on site. Seamless 5-inch and 6-inch aluminum gutters — plus true copper gutters for historic Shandon and Lake Murray homes — cut to the exact length of your fascia, with micro-mesh guards that actually survive loblolly pine straw. Details on the seamless gutters page.
