COLUMBIA, SC, October 19, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Joe Nettles has been recognized for achievement in roofing and remodeling services.

Mr. Nettles currently serves as the owner of Magnolia Roofing & Remodeling, a company he established in 2018. Over the past several years, Mr. Nettles has distinguished himself as an expert in residential roofing, relationship building and networking within the real estate community.

Under Mr. Nettles' leadership, Magnolia Roofing & Remodeling has developed a unique business model that prioritizes long-term relationships with realtors and homeowners rather than relying solely on insurance-driven storm work. The company's approach centers on providing roofs designed to last up to 30 years, which has fostered trust among clients and made Mr. Nettles a preferred partner for real estate professionals throughout the region. Among a range of services, his company specializes in repairs and full replacements for roofing, siding and gutters.

Before founding Magnolia Roofing & Remodeling, Mr. Nettles spent over five years as a sales manager at a local roofing company. In this role, he honed his skills in sales strategy and client relations. A cross-country road trip with a close friend sparked discussions about how they would operate differently if they were their own bosses, which ultimately inspired Mr. Nettles to launch his own company.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Nettles worked as a park ranger with the City of Columbia Parks and Recreation from 2008 to 2014. Although he valued his colleagues and enjoyed aspects of the position, he found limited opportunities for advancement and began exploring other career paths. During this period, Mr. Nettles balanced his city job with part-time work in roofing sales before fully transitioning into the industry after one year.

Mr. Nettles' professional journey began in 2006 with a sales position at AT&T and BellSouth immediately following graduation from college. This challenging door-to-door role taught him valuable lessons in perseverance and revealed his aptitude for sales, skills that would later prove instrumental to his success in the roofing sector.

In preparation for his future, Mr. Nettles received a bachelor's degree in sports management from the University of South Carolina in 2006. His academic background provided him with foundational knowledge in leadership and team dynamics, which have supported his ability to build effective teams and manage business operations successfully. In addition to his degree, Mr. Nettles possesses a specialty contractor's license issued by the Residential Builders Commission.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Mr. Nettles is deeply involved in industry-related and civic activities throughout Columbia and surrounding communities. He is an active member of the Central Carolina Realtors Association, IKO ROOFPRO and his local chamber of commerce. Through partnerships with organizations such as the Central Carolina Realtors Association, Mr. Nettles has contributed to initiatives such as collecting and delivering blankets for individuals experiencing homelessness, distributing fans during the summer months to elderly residents and low-income families, and donating school supplies for children in need. He has also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and has partnered with local advocates to assist low-income individuals with home remodels. Additionally, he sponsors events, including the Lowcountry Young Professionals meetings, and supports local sports by sponsoring the Columbia Fireflies minor league baseball team.

Mr. Nettles' commitment to integrity and honest assessments has resulted in numerous referrals and repeat clients. Magnolia Roofing & Remodeling has been recognized for its excellence, winning The State Newspaper's Best Roofer award in both 2025 and 2026. Additionally, the company was honored as an Affiliate of the Year by the Central Carolina Realtors Association due to outstanding professionalism and community involvement.

Throughout his career, Mr. Nettles has credited much of Magnolia Roofing & Remodeling's success to his dedicated team and their unwavering commitment to honesty. The company's philosophy emphasizes thorough inspections and genuine second opinions rather than aggressive sales tactics. This approach has established a reputation for reliability among clients, leading to strong word-of-mouth referrals across families and neighborhoods.

The support of Mr. Nettles' family is integral to both his personal fulfillment and professional achievements. His wife, Dawn, manages responsibilities at home while also contributing to office operations when needed. Her encouragement provides him with confidence as he balances business growth with family commitments. Moreover, Mr. Nettles' sister, Lauren, oversees office administration, further strengthening the company's foundation through close-knit teamwork.

Mr. Nettles takes pride in being able to provide for his family while maintaining flexibility as his own boss, allowing him to be present for significant moments in his children's lives without needing permission from others. For him, this balance between professional accomplishment and family engagement represents the greatest measure of success.

Looking ahead, Mr. Nettles is focused on expanding Magnolia Roofing & Remodeling's presence into new territories within South Carolina's Lowcountry region while continuing to emphasize education within his team. He aims to delegate more teaching responsibilities so that staff members are confident in their expertise and prepared to deliver high-quality service independently. By building brand recognition in areas such as Beaufort, Port Royal and Lady's Island, Mr. Nettles seeks to establish Magnolia Roofing & Remodeling as the trusted choice for residential roofing needs throughout South Carolina.
