About

Who We Are

Palmetto Roofing Specialties started back in 2016 right here in South Carolina. From day one, we’ve been all about being honest and doing a great job. We began as a small team, but we’ve grown a lot since then and even expanded our work into North Carolina. Even as we’ve grown, one thing hasn’t changed: We always aim to do right by our customers and our communities.

As locals of Greenville, we’re no strangers to storms and the damage they bring to our homes. That’s why we specialize in detailed inspections to figure out the best way to fix your roof. Whether you need a small repair or a whole new roof, you can count on us to do work that lasts.

Unfortunately, there are people out there looking to scam homeowners—especially after a storm hits. But we’re different. We focus on helping our local communities and make sure to show every customer our official license and insurance. At the end of the day, we want you to feel confident that you made the right choice with us. We’re committed to being reliable, caring, and making sure our clients are happy every single time.

Cooper Bolt

Inside Estimator, Corporate Team
I was born and raised right here in the Upstate. My role within the office is an Inside Estimator which means I oversee every estimate that comes through. I also recently took on the partial role of filming roofing content with our Production Manager, Douglas. When I am not working, you can either find me playing golf or at the lake. I started here in January of 2024, but being the son of owner John Bolt, I have been very involved within the business since 2016. I am very excited to see how our company grows and hopefully I can make the roofing experience as smooth as possible.

It’s like solving a puzzle. I am Happily married and have 3 fur babies that I’m pretty sure I overfeed.
