Belton is a city in eastern Anderson County, with a 2020 census population of 4,335 and an elevation of about 883 feet. It was named for John Belton O'Neal, first president of the Columbia and Greenville Railroad, which was completed in 1853, and the state incorporated the town in 1855. US 76 and US 178 pass through, and SC 20 runs 26 miles north to Greenville. The Belton Depot is on the National Register of Historic Places. If you are searching for roofers in Belton, SC, you are dealing with a railroad town with a historic center.
Belton's motto is the Standpipe City, after the 155-foot standpipe built in 1908 and still in use. The town was once the cotton ginning center of South Carolina, and the annual Belton Standpipe Festival began in 1987. A cotton and railroad town incorporated in 1855 has houses from many periods,. The roof stock is a mix of historic homes and mid-century and newer houses.
We are a referral service, not a roofer. We connect Belton homeowners with a vetted, licensed local roofing contractor who inspects the roof and attic for free and puts the price of any roof replacement or repair in writing before work starts.
Historic homes near the depot and the standpipe
Older homes may have steep, complex roof lines with chimneys and dormers, which means more flashing and more labor. A chimney is a frequent leak source, as our chimney leak guide explains. Historic homes also raise material questions: match the look, but not at the price of a worse roof. The roofer can show options in architectural shingle and metal.
