The RoofTop Heroes of the Upstate
By Heather Spruill
After 25+ years, Culler Roofing continues to excel in the roofing industry having gained the trust of both the Upstate and Midlands communities. Their personalized care for each job, undeniable skillset, and excellent workmanship makes this family business a reliable source when it comes to all roofing needs. Continuing tradition, Neal Culler shows outstanding customer service and quality work for his community, making him an ideal roofing contractor and businessman.
Learning the Ropes
As a kid of the 90s living in Camden, SC, Neal worked alongside his father, Chris Culler, learning what hard work looks like in addition to running a business. Having started in the industry more than 25 years ago, Chris was determined to teach his son about the trade and the fundamentals of working well with customers and providing them with an easy and worry-free construction experience. However, Neal had other plans. Before setting off for Clemson University, Neal jokingly told his father that he never wanted to see another shingle in his life.
Neal graduated in 2010 with a BS in Construction Science Management and a Business Administration minor. Due to the economic climate at that time, he accepted a position for an internship in Annapolis, Maryland, a job outside the construction industry. Just before his internship ended that same year, a huge storm struck South Carolina.
The heavy hail storm resulted in severe property damage in several locations, especially across the Midlands. Neal’s father asked if he could move back home for a year to help with the influx of calls regarding new roofs. He agreed. The two businessmen discussed Neal starting his own branch throughout his time in Camden. He committed five years to his dad to expand the family company to the Upstate and create a thriving business. Needless to say, Neal has been assisting many homeowners for over a decade and doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
Onward and Upward
With branches in the Midlands and the Upstate, Neal and his father have worked diligently to provide fantastic customer assistance and good-quality roofing services. Furthermore, their growing business relies on an aspect they value most: positive customer relationships.

Culler Roofing has proven throughout the years that its clientele will always receive the best care, no matter the type of project. Their customer base ranges from commercial, residential, and industrial, needing roof replacement or repairs of all structure sizes and materials. They do it all. Neal and his father work hard to provide their clients with ideas and solutions to meet all of their roofing needs. "Hard work, consistency, taking no shortcuts, makes us stand confidently behind our work," Neal explains. "People and clients…if you take care of them, they will take care of you."
While this company is successful in its merit, Neal instills the same amount of hard work and enthusiasm in his family. He assures that time spent with his wife, two sons, and daughter is tended to in the same way he manages his business: with care. "My ownership in this company provides me with a great work-life balance," Neal explains. When Neal is not conducting business, he and his family enjoy outdoor activities and support their kids in sporting events and games. His loving and incredibly involved approach with his family makes him that much more of a dedicated and trustworthy roofing contractor.
The future continues to look bright for this family business. Neal has done a phenomenal job showing his three children the true meaning of hard work. Diligence instilled in him by his father and teacher at a young age has set this roofer and businessman up for a successful future.
