Roofing in Wilmington, Delaware
Wilmington sits at the confluence of the Brandywine and Christina Rivers, where the Mid-Atlantic climate brings hot humid summers, nor’easters in the fall and winter, and freeze-thaw cycles that test every roof. Roofing in Wilmington means roofs built for the humidity, the storms, and the winter ice.

Local Roofing Considerations
The humidity is the main roofing story in Wilmington. The summer dew points sit in the 60s and 70s, and the north-facing slopes stay damp. The algae and the moss grow on the shaded shingles, and the granules shed early.
The nor’easters are the second factor. The fall and winter storms bring sustained wind and heavy rain that damage the roofs. The freeze-thaw cycles follow the storms — the water gets into the gaps and the ice expands the cracks.
The housing is a mix of the historic row homes in the city and the suburban single-family homes in the county. The asphalt shingle is the standard on most homes, and the flat roof is common on the row homes and the commercial buildings.
