About Wilmington Roof Pros: Licensed Roofing Pros in DE
Wilmington Roof Pros is a Delaware roofing contractor working across New Castle County, from Claymont down to Townsend and west to Hockessin and Newark. We do replacement, repair, leak tracing, flashing, gutters and low-slope work on houses and on commercial buildings, and we keep a place of business in this state rather than driving in from another one.
That last part sounds like a small thing and it is not. Delaware draws a hard line between resident and nonresident contractors, with an extra bonding requirement on out-of-state firms above $20,000. In a city this close to three state lines, knowing which side of that line your roofer sits on is genuinely useful, so we put our license and registration numbers on every document we hand you.
When you should not hire us: if your roof is under fifteen years old and leaking in one spot, you need a flashing repair and not a replacement, and we will say so and quote the small number. If your low-slope roof cores wet, we will refuse the coating somebody else offered you. And if you want a designer shingle on an ordinary house because a salesperson said so, we will tell you where that money does more good.
If you have a roofing project in Wilmington, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate. See every Wilmington service we handle, check whether we cover Newark, DE and the rest of New Castle County, or go back to the Wilmington Roof Pros homepage to start. You can also reach us directly on (844) 511-2320.
Credentials
- License: Delaware business license issued by the Division of Revenue, plus a contractor registration certificate from the Delaware Department of Labor; Delaware issues no separate roofing trade license, so those two are the credentials that actually exist here

- Warranty: a written workmanship warranty
How Wilmington Roof Pros works
How a job with Wilmington Roof Pros runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. a written workmanship warranty backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a roofing job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Wilmington.
Where Wilmington Roof Pros works and who we work with
Wilmington, DE first, then the surrounding communities of New Castle County: Newark, Middletown, Bear, Glasgow, Brookside, Hockessin, Pike Creek Valley, Claymont and more. Each of those has its own page with local detail rather than a copy of this one.
Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across New Castle County. Start with the Wilmington services, the Wilmington Roof Pros homepage, or just call (844) 511-2320.
Why Wilmington Chooses Wilmington Roof Pros
- ✓Every proposal carries our Delaware business license number and our Department of Labor contractor registration number, plus the two free state searches that verify them.
- ✓We are a resident contractor under Delaware law, meaning we keep a place of business in this state, so the nonresident surety bond never applies to us. We will tell you plainly when it applies to somebody else's bid.
- ✓We tell you when another bid on your table is from a Pennsylvania, Maryland or New Jersey company. That changes what has to be on file before work starts, not what the roof is worth.
- ✓Tarping is billed and closed as its own job with its own invoice. It is never the deposit on a replacement you have not agreed to.
- ✓We refuse coating work on wet or delaminated substrate instead of selling it, and we put the refusal in writing with the core photographs.
- ✓Sheathing is priced per sheet and flashing is a separate line from the field, so the number on the last page is the number you actually pay.
What Wilmington Customers Say
Three bids, and this was the only one that came with a license number and a page telling me how to look all three companies up. Two of the others were not registered in Delaware at all. The roof took two days and the plank decking they replaced was itemized before they started.
Somebody knocked after the June storm offering a free tarp if I signed for a whole roof that night. These guys tarped it the next morning, charged me for the tarp, and told me to take a week on the roof decision. I did, and I still hired them.
I had already been quoted a coating for the flat section over the kitchen. They cut a core, showed me soaked insulation in the photo, and refused to coat it. Replaced that section only and left the shingle roof alone. First contractor who ever talked me out of spending money.
Hundred-year-old slate. I expected the usual push to tear it all off. Instead they reflashed the valleys in copper, reset about forty slates from their own salvage, and told me the roof has decades left. Matched so well I cannot find the patches from the street.
