Serving Lexington and Columbia, from Pelion.
We look at your house first. Then you get a free written estimate — scope, materials, and price on paper — that you can hold us to.
We’re a family roofing and construction company based in Pelion, serving Lexington, Columbia, and the rest of the Midlands — roofs, kitchens and baths, siding and decks, paint, and construction. When you call the number on this page, you get us.
A shingle roof we finished, a kitchen we finished, and a bath we finished.
You tell us what’s going on. We come and see it ourselves.
A leak, storm damage, a roof at the end of its life, a remodel you’ve set aside — we answer within one business day and inspect the work in person. Standing on the roof is the only honest way to price it, so it is the only way we price it.
Then you get a free written estimate — scope, materials, and price on paper — before anyone starts. Every roof is different, so that estimate comes after we inspect the house. On full replacements in Lexington and Richland counties, we pull the permits.
If a storm claim is part of the job, your deductible stays yours. Waiving it is insurance fraud in South Carolina, and we will not put your claim at risk.
Unused frames from jobs we shot — new stairs, a Lowe’s-wrap addition, a teal kitchen, corrugated metal, a marble walk-in, and an LVP living room. Six more jobs, all ours.
Architectural shingles or metal — we install both, and we will tell you which one your house needs and what it costs.

The field from the ridge on a finished shingle replacement — our crew’s photograph.
Our crew shot this from the ridge on a Midlands shingle replacement. Drag across the photo and wash the worn layer away — what’s underneath is the roof we left behind.
Yours still stuck on the before? Call (803) 265-5645 — we come and see it ourselves, then the estimate goes in writing.
Finished roof from our crew’s own job photos. Worn state recreated on the same frame to show the difference.
The same crew habits that keep water out of your roof carry into the rest of the house: square, level, and finished all the way.

A kitchen and a bath we finished — photographed the day we handed them back.
Trim, siding, decks, porches, exterior stairs — on their own, or wrapped into a roof or a bigger renovation. Same look-first rule, same written estimate, in Lexington, Columbia, and the rest of the Midlands. Exterior remodeling, siding, decks and porches.

Framing, sheathing, dry-in, and the roof that ties new work back into the house. We take construction in Lexington, Columbia, and the Midlands, standalone or as part of a larger renovation — scoped on paper before the first board goes up. Additions.

Ole South is owned by Brian Jolly, a West Columbia native and Army veteran who spent nearly six years keeping Kiowa Warrior helicopters flying before he ever kept rain out of a house. Our lead contractor, George Boulware, has been building and remodeling South Carolina homes for over fifty years. And Brian’s son Lachlan answers the calls, rides along on estimates, and is studying building construction at Midlands Tech — learning the trade under George the old way.
We’re a licensed South Carolina contractor, fully insured, and registered as an SC LLC. When you call the number on this page, you get us — not a national call center with a local area code. We’re based in Pelion and we serve Lexington, Columbia, and the Midlands. Ole South Roofing & Construction is not affiliated with Ole South Properties, the home builder in Tennessee. About the company.
We were raised to do the work as unto the Lord — which mostly just means it gets done right whether anyone’s watching or not.
Lexington and Columbia are the primary markets. Pelion is home base — no second office, and no street address on this site. Those two town pages are the long ones.
