Raising the Roof: How BB Roofing Solutions Became the Lowcountry’s Most Trusted Name in Roofing
In the picturesque Lowcountry of South Carolina, where historic charm meets coastal allure, one family-owned business has been quietly revolutionizing the roofing industry for over two decades. BB Roofing Solutions, founded by Bill Ball in 1998, has become more than just a roofing company—it’s a testament to the American dream, a pillar of the community, and a beacon of excellence in an industry often plagued by fly-by-night operators.
From Staten Island to the Palmetto State
Bill Ball’s journey to roofing royalty began far from the sun-drenched shores of Hilton Head Island. Born in Staten Island and raised in New Jersey, Ball’s path led him through the University of Maryland, where he earned a degree in Construction Management. Little did he know that his early career as a project manager for corporate home builders in Washington D.C. would lay the foundation for a roofing empire in the South.
In 1995, Ball made a decision that would change not only his life but the landscape of the Lowcountry’s roofing industry. He packed his bags and headed south to South Carolina, armed with nothing but his expertise and a vision for excellence. Three years later, BB Roofing Solutions was born.
A Family Affair
What sets BB Roofing apart isn’t just their technical prowess or their impressive portfolio of projects—it’s the family values that permeate every aspect of the business. Bill’s daughter, Cassandra Clive, serves as the company’s Office Manager, bringing a fresh perspective and a background in education to enhance customer service.
His son, Billy Ball, manages payments and invoices while moonlighting as a professional DJ, adding a touch of rhythm to the company’s financial operations. Even Bill’s father-in-law, Tony Amadeo, contributes his extensive accounting experience, proving that at BB Roofing, family isn’t just a word—it’s a way of doing business.
More Than Just Shingles and Nails
While BB Roofing’s technical expertise is undeniable—they’ve tackled everything from residential repairs to large-scale commercial projects like the Bluffton Town Hall—their true strength lies in their deep connection to the community. Bill Ball’s 12-year stint as head coach for the Bluffton High School softball program speaks volumes about the company’s commitment to nurturing local talent, both on and off the roof.
This community-first approach has earned BB Roofing a loyal following and a stack of glowing testimonials that read like love letters to craftsmanship and customer service. Scott Barber, representing a church on Hilton Head Island, marveled at how the company completed a new roof installation in just two days. John Vogt, who entrusted BB Roofing with a 7,000 square foot roof replacement, praised the well-organized crew and timely completion.
Innovation Meets Tradition
In an industry that’s constantly evolving, BB Roofing has managed to strike a perfect balance between innovation and tradition. They’ve embraced cutting-edge materials and techniques, offering everything from energy-efficient roofing systems to specialized metal roofing solutions. Yet, they’ve never lost sight of the old-fashioned values that built their business: honesty, integrity, and a handshake that means something.
Their comprehensive service offerings read like a roofing wish list: emergency repairs for those post-hurricane nightmares, skylight installations to brighten up Lowcountry homes, and even real estate closing inspections for savvy property buyers. It’s this versatility, coupled with their unwavering commitment to quality, that has made BB Roofing the go-to choice for homeowners and businesses alike.
The Future Looks Bright (and Watertight)
As BB Roofing Solutions approaches its third decade of service, the company shows no signs of slowing down. With a team that blends youthful energy and seasoned experience, they’re well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of the Lowcountry’s roofing market.
In an area where hurricanes are a fact of life and salt air can corrode lesser materials, BB Roofing stands as a bulwark against the elements. They’re not just installing roofs; they’re protecting homes, preserving businesses, and sheltering dreams.
From their humble beginnings to their current status as the Lowcountry’s roofing experts, BB Roofing Solutions embodies the very best of American entrepreneurship. They’ve proven that with hard work, family values, and an unwavering commitment to quality, you can build more than just a business—you can build a legacy.
As the sun sets over the marshes and palmetto trees of the Lowcountry, one thing is clear: as long as there are homes and businesses in need of protection from the elements, BB Roofing Solutions will be there, nailing it one shingle at a time.
