Roofing in Dover, DE

Dover, Delaware

Roofing Built for Dover Homes

Dover roofs take a beating from wind coming off the Delaware Bay with little to break it across the flat Kent County landscape. We see lifted and creased shingles along rakes and ridges, failed nail patterns from roofs installed short of manufacturer spec, chimney and skylight flashing that never got counter-flashed properly, and older three-tab that simply can't handle the uplift.

Every Dover re-roof we do is a full tear-off with deck inspection, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, enhanced perimeter nailing and starter strip for wind resistance, corrected ventilation, and architectural shingles or standing seam metal set to spec. We inspect for storm and hail damage during the free assessment, photograph it, and support the claim with your carrier, including meeting the adjuster on the roof.

Dover's 1950s and 1960s ranchers sometimes carry added-on rooms with low-slope roofs, which fail differently than the main shingle plane. We inspect and re-flash those transitions as part of any re-roof, so the new roof does not leak at the one place the old one always did.
