Roofing in Newark, Delaware

Newark sits in northern New Castle County near the Pennsylvania and Maryland borders, where the tree canopy shades the roofs and the nor’easters test the flashing. Roofing in Newark means roofs built for coastal storms, freeze-thaw winters, and hot, damp summers — and a contractor who knows the local housing stock, from the student rentals to the historic district.

Local Roofing Considerations

The nor’easters are the main roofing story in Newark. The storms swing up the coast and push wind and rain against the roofs from the northeast, lifting shingles and driving water up under the flashing. The fall and the spring are the busiest storm months.

The freeze-thaw cycle is the second factor. The Delaware winters are milder than New England, but the snow still melts during the day and refreezes at night, and the constant expansion and contraction stresses the flashing, the valleys, and the shingle seals. The winter storms can also pile up ice dams in the valleys of the older homes.

The tree canopy is the third factor. The shaded north slopes stay damp after the rain, and the humidity grows the algae and the moss that trap moisture and eat into the shingle granules.

The housing stock runs from the historic homes near Main Street to the student rentals and the family subdivisions, and the asphalt shingle is the standard on nearly all of them.
