Wilmington Roof Pros provides professional hail damage claims & second opinions in Wilmington, DE for residential and commercial properties across New Castle County. Northern Delaware is not a hail market the way the plains states are. We do get it, and when we get it we handle the claim properly. But a knock on the door telling you your Wilmington roof has hail damage deserves a second look before it becomes a claim.
Which is why this page exists mostly to give second opinions. A hail canvass is cheap to run, needs no permit and no tear-off, and ends in a signed contract that somebody else's insurer funds. That combination makes it unusually attractive to a crew working a state it does not file taxes in. Type the company name into the Delaware business license search and look at the address that comes back.
When there is real hail, it is provable and it is consistent across the whole property. Bruising on an asphalt shingle is a soft spot you can feel through a thumb, with the mat fractured underneath the granules, and it always arrives alongside matching dents in the soft metals: gutter aprons, downspouts, vent caps, and the furnace flue cap on the back slope. Hail does not politely skip the aluminum.
So we check the soft metals first, before we ever talk about the shingles. If a roof supposedly took hail hard enough to total it and the aluminum gutter is completely untouched, that story does not survive contact with an adjuster, and we would much rather tell you so in your driveway than have you find out in a denial letter six weeks later.
Where damage is real we chalk ten-by-ten test squares on every slope, photograph each one with a scale in the frame, record the strike density per square, and hand you that entire packet whether or not you hire us for the work. It is your house, your claim and your evidence, and it stays just as useful no matter who ends up doing the roof.
The recommendation we reach here more often than most roofers will admit out loud: do not file. A denied claim still lands in your loss history, and granule loss on a twenty-year-old roof is a maintenance conversation rather than an insurance one. We will tell you the truth even when the truth is that you have a project to save up for.
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 hail damage claims & second opinions
The difference between hail damage claims & second opinions that lasts and hail damage claims & second opinions 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.
