Which Licenses and Certifications Does Apex Roofing of the Lowcountry Hold?

  • State license: SC License #57706.
  • Town license: Town of Bluffton License #0620033323.
  • Insurance: general liability and workers’ compensation coverage.
  • CertainTeed and GAF: a factory-certified installer for both brands. The owners give the reason plainly: “many homeowners do have a preference.”
  • CertainTeed ShingleMaster: a current CertainTeed credential.
  • Better Business Bureau: an A+ rating on a BBB profile that dates from March 2021.
  • New-roof warranties: a lifetime no-leak workmanship warranty from Apex, plus a 50-year limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. Both move to the next owner if you sell the house. SureStart PLUS, an extended warranty that covers both material and labor, is also available.

You can check either license number with the office that issued it before you sign anything.

How Did Apex Roofing of the Lowcountry Start in Bluffton?

Apex Roofing of the Lowcountry started in Bluffton in 2015. Ralph Brehany and his son, Pierce, founded it, and the two of them own it today.

The family side of the company comes through in reviews too. One 2024 review calls Apex a local family business run by Ralph and his son.

How the owners think about a roof says more than a date does. To them, much of a good roof is hidden under the shingles. It is in thick underlayment, sealed valleys and careful nail spacing. It is in rotted wood that gets fixed, not covered up. And it is in using enough flashing. That view carries into repair work, where Apex fits corrosion-resistant flashing and synthetic underlayment.
