Elite Roof and Solar

What Elite Roof and Solar does

Elite Roof and Solar is a veteran-owned, full-service roofing contractor founded in 2012 and headquartered in Davidson, North Carolina. The company provides residential and commercial roofing services across the Carolinas, including roof repair, full roof replacement, storm damage repair, gutter installation, commercial TPO flat roofing, and integrated solar roofing. Its core technology centers on GAF-manufactured products: it is one of fewer than 50 US contractors selected as an exclusive installer of GAF Energy's award-winning Timberline Solar integrated solar shingles, and it also installs GAF Timberline HDZ shingles, Camelot II Designer shingles, TPO membrane, and TimberSteel metal roofing.

The company operates through six geographic offices in Davidson (HQ), Charlotte, Boone, Hickory, Asheville, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, plus a newly opened Columbia, South Carolina office as of June 2025. Its go-to-market blends direct-to-consumer field sales via dedicated Market Area Managers covering assigned territories, an exclusive Lowe's PROvider subcontractor relationship covering more than 50 Lowe's stores, and a website-driven estimate request flow. The company holds GAF Master Elite Contractor status (top 2% of North American roofers), has won the GAF 3-Star President's Club Award for four consecutive years (2022, 2023, 2025, 2026), and maintains a BBB A+ rating and Angi Super Service Award recognition from 2020-2025.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based one-time contracts (roof replacement, solar installation) and ongoing repair and maintenance services, with quote-based pricing, financing options, and military/first-responder discounts. Customer segments span residential homeowners (primary) and commercial buildings including apartment complexes, schools, churches, restaurants, and office properties, as well as property management companies and nonprofit housing organizations. Notable commercial engagements include multi-building apartment complex transformations and TPO flat-roof installations for restaurant and fitness clients. Leadership comprises President/CEO Mick Koster, co-owner Ross Erickson, and founder Scott Himler, who rejoined in 2024 to support business development.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Baker Roofing Company: Raleigh, NC-based full-service residential and commercial roofing contractor serving the Carolinas since 1915; comparable regional scale, multi-location presence, and GAF Master Elite-equivalent installer profile make it the closest head-to-head competitor in Elite's home market.
• Best Choice Roofing: Regional residential roofing contractor headquartered near Charlotte, NC, with strong Carolina presence and storm-damage / insurance-claims focus; directly overlaps Elite's core residential and storm-repair offering in the same geography.
• Klaus Roofing Systems: Regional residential roofing franchise with a network of locally owned locations across the Southeast; comparable GTM (local inspection, replacement, repair), service breadth, and reliance on manufacturer certifications and reviews for differentiation.
• Bone Dry Roofing: Indianapolis-based multi-location residential and commercial roofing franchise system with similar multi-territory Market Area Manager-style field sales model; comparable in scale, service mix (repair, replacement, gutters), and local-services brand-building approach.
• Carolina Roofing & Siding: Regional Carolinas-based residential roofing and exteriors contractor with a similar mix of roof repair, replacement, gutters, and storm-damage services; directly comparable customer segments and local-services positioning.

Broad incumbents

• CentiMark Corporation: One of the largest U.S. commercial roofing contractors with national coverage and TPO / flat-roof expertise; overlaps Elite's commercial roofing offering but at much larger scale and without the solar-shingle retail focus.
• Tecta America Corporation: Large national commercial roofing services platform with multi-location field operations; comparable commercial-project execution but broader geographic footprint and larger institutional customer base than Elite.
• Roofing Corp of America: National roofing services consolidator building a multi-brand platform across the U.S.; represents the kind of regional roll-up acquirer that could eventually compete with - or acquire - Elite in the Carolinas.

Emerging players

• Power Home Solar: Residential solar and roofing installer with a similar whole-home exterior approach; competes for the same solar-roof replacement customer but primarily via rack-mounted PV rather than integrated shingles, making it an adjacent rather than head-to-head rival.

Regional players

• Interstate Roofing: West Coast / Pacific Northwest residential roofing company with comparable residential replacement, repair, and solar-adjacent offering; useful peer on service model and multi-territory field sales, though not directly competing in the Carolinas.
