How much does a new roof cost in Wilmington?

How long will my new roof last in Wilmington?
25–30 years for architectural shingles. Proper installation and attic ventilation are the two biggest factors — both of which we verify on every project.

Do you serve all neighborhoods in Wilmington, DE?
Yes. We serve homeowners throughout Wilmington and greater New Castle County. Wilmington's housing stock ranges from 19th-century rowhouses in the historic north-side neighborhoods to newer suburban homes in surrounding townships. We handle everything from EPDM flat roofs on older city homes to full shingle replacements — every project backed by our 30-year workmanship warranty.
What warranty covers roofing in Wilmington, DE?

What is the difference between ACV and RCV coverage for my roof in Wilmington?
ACV (Actual Cash Value) pays the depreciated value of your roof — a 15-year-old roof gets a fraction of replacement cost. RCV (Replacement Cost Value) pays full replacement cost minus your deductible. Most Delaware homeowners have RCV policies. We review your policy during the inspection so you know exactly what your claim covers before anything is filed. Call (215) 847-3522 for a free inspection.
Can I get a supplement if my insurance payout does not cover the full roof replacement in Wilmington?
Yes — and this is common. Initial insurance scopes of loss often miss code-required items: ice and water shield, ridge ventilation upgrades, drip edge, and permit costs. We prepare Xactimate-compatible supplement documentation and submit it directly to your carrier to recover every dollar you are entitled to under your policy.
What if my storm damage claim was denied in Wilmington?
A denial is not final. We provide detailed drone photo documentation and a written contractor assessment to support your appeal. We will tell you honestly whether your case supports a strong re-inspection request. In most cases, thorough documentation makes the difference between a denied and approved claim.
