Wilmington Roof Pros provides professional low-slope & flat roof systems in Wilmington, DE for residential and commercial properties across New Castle County. A lot of the low-slope roofing in this city is not on a commercial building at all. It is the back addition, the porch, the second-floor deck over a kitchen, and the small flat section behind a mansard. Every one of them fails long before the shingled part does.
Those roofs are small, which is exactly why they get treated casually by everybody involved, homeowners included. A five-hundred-square-foot back addition is a few thousand dollars, nowhere close to the $20,000 point at which Delaware requires an out-of-state firm to bond the contract with the Division of Revenue. That makes it convenient work to take on a Saturday and never think about again.
We specify by what the roof actually has to survive rather than by what we stock. Fully adhered EPDM where there is foot traffic and shade from mature trees. Sixty-mil TPO where reflectivity matters and the roof is visible from windows above. Self-adhered modified bitumen where the substrate is sound and open flame near a hundred-year-old frame house is an obviously bad idea.
We do not torch on occupied wood-framed houses, full stop, and we will not be talked into it. The risk is not theoretical in a city built this densely, and cold-applied and self-adhered systems reach exactly the same waterproofing result without any of it. That commitment is written into the proposal itself, so it is never a conversation held on your driveway on the morning of the job.
Drainage is where these roofs are actually won or lost. We taper insulation to the outlet, set a real scupper or drain rather than trusting the roof edge to shed, and if water has been standing over a joist bay we open the deck and look before we cover anything up. Ponding on a sound roof is tolerable. Ponding over rot is a bill you pay twice.
The straight answer on repair versus replacement: if the membrane is a single-ply that has shrunk and pulled away at the corners, patching buys you one season and no more, and we will say so rather than take the money. If it is a clean seam split in a sheet that is otherwise still flexible and well adhered, a properly welded cover strip is honest work, and we will quote it exactly that way.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — capped-nail synthetic underlayment over plank decking, sixteen-ounce copper valley pans reset on slate hooks, closed-cut valleys laid over W-profile valley metal, kickout diverters at the roof-to-wall gutter return, framed crickets behind masonry chimneys wider than thirty inches, lead vent boots in place of dried-out rubber collars — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Wilmington and nearby communities including Newark, Middletown, Bear, Glasgow.

Materials, equipment and how we do low-slope & flat roof systems
The difference between low-slope & flat roof systems that lasts and low-slope & flat roof systems that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with capped-nail synthetic underlayment over plank decking, sixteen-ounce copper valley pans reset on slate hooks, closed-cut valleys laid over W-profile valley metal, kickout diverters at the roof-to-wall gutter return, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Wilmington job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in New Castle County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

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.
