Wilmington Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections & contractor vetting in Wilmington, DE for residential and commercial properties across New Castle County. An inspection here does two jobs. One is the roof itself: what it is made of, how much service life is left, and what fails first. The other is the paperwork, and in this particular market the paperwork is worth as much as the ladder work.
So our report comes in two halves, and both of them are written for you rather than for us. The roof half covers deck type, underlayment where it is visible, flashing condition at every single penetration, fastener pattern, the ventilation math, and a dated photograph of each slope with anything we flag circled directly on the image rather than buried in a paragraph you have to decode.
The second half is a single page you can use against any bid on your table, including ours. It lists exactly what to ask every contractor who quotes your roof: the Delaware business license number, the Department of Labor contractor registration number, and which state the business address is actually filed in. All three are free to verify from a phone, and the whole check takes about four minutes.
That page matters because Delaware treats resident and nonresident contractors as genuinely different things. A firm that does not regularly keep a place of business in the state has to bond 6% of the contract price with the Division of Revenue on work of $20,000 or more, and the threshold aggregates across two or more contracts inside the same calendar year rather than resetting each time.
For buyers we run the same inspection tuned to a settlement date, with a plain estimate of remaining life and a repair-versus-replace number you can negotiate against at the table. We do not inflate that number because a deal is on the clock, and we will put the low figure in writing when the low figure happens to be the right one. Either side of a deal can hand that report to a lender.
We charge for inspections that produce a written report, and we do not charge anything to come look at an active leak. If the honest outcome is that you have six good years left and should spend the money on gutters and chimney flashing instead of a roof, that is exactly what the report is going to say, in those words, on the first page.
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 roof inspections & contractor vetting
The difference between roof inspections & contractor vetting that lasts and roof inspections & contractor vetting 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.
