Roofing in Delaware

Delaware sits on the Mid-Atlantic coast, where the nor’easters roll in off the Atlantic and the humid summers feed the algae on the shaded slopes. Roofing in Delaware means building roofs for the wind, the rain, and the freeze-thaw — and we do it in 5 cities across the state.

The Roofing Regions of Delaware

The state splits into two roofing climates, and the roofs need to match each one.

The northern counties — New Castle County with Wilmington, Newark, Bear, and Middletown — face the nor’easters and the freeze-thaw cycles. The wind and the rain off the Atlantic test every roof, and the winter ice events stress the flashing and the seals.

The central county — Kent County with Dover — sits on the coastal plain and faces the hurricane remnants and the summer thunderstorms. The humid air feeds the algae and the moss.

Delaware Roofing Considerations

The nor’easters are the dominant force across the state. The fall and winter storms off the Atlantic bring the high wind and the heavy rain that test every roof. The coastal cities take the brunt of the wind.

The freeze-thaw is the second force. The temperature swings through the winter stress the flashing and the seals. The ice-and-water shield at the eaves protects the roof from the ice events.

The humid summers support the algae and the moss on the north-facing slopes. The shaded areas stay damp and the growth holds the moisture against the shingles.

From the nor’easters of the Atlantic coast to the freeze-thaw of the northern counties, Delaware roofs face the full range of Mid-Atlantic weather. The wind-rated shingles, the ice-and-water shield, and the right installation make the difference between the 15-year roof and the 30-year roof.
