Roofing in Hockessin, DE

Hockessin, Delaware

Roofing Built for Hockessin Homes

Hockessin roofs are more complicated than the county average. Steep pitches, multiple gables and dormers, deep valleys, copper bay and porch roofs, cedar shake that's reaching the end of its life, and chimneys with stone caps that need proper counter-flashing. A crew that only installs three-tab on ranchers will get these details wrong in ways that show from the street.

We scope them properly: full tear-off, deck repair, ice and water shield through all valleys and eaves, corrected ventilation, and a finish material chosen for the architecture, heavyweight architectural shingle, synthetic slate, standing seam metal, or cedar where the home and any HOA call for it. Copper flashing and accent roofs are fabricated and soldered rather than caulked. The free assessment includes photo documentation of every problem area we find.

Cedar shake still graces many Hockessin roofs, and when replacement time comes we walk the owner through synthetic slate and heavyweight architectural options with samples on site. The view from the street barely changes, and the warranty and maintenance picture improves dramatically.
