Storm Damage Roof Repair in Dover, DE
Wind does most of the damage to roofs in Dover. It lifts shingle edges, tears ridge caps and works open flashing. We inspect the edges and the details first, because that is where it starts.
Why people call us in Dover
- Missing, lifted or creased shingles after a wind event
- Ridge cap or edge metal that came loose
- A leak that only shows up in driving rain
- You want damage documented with photos for an insurance file
The roofs around here
Dover gets open wind with fewer trees to slow it down, so shingle edges and ridge caps take a beating. That is the first thing we look at after a windy stretch.
Repair or replace?
Wind damage in one area is a repair. When shingles are creased across several slopes, or the nailing was never right, replacement is the honest answer. We show you what we see, and we do not tell you a roof is damaged without looking at it.
What changes the price
We do not publish price ranges, because a made-up range helps nobody. These are what an estimate is actually built from.
- How much of the roof is actually bad
- How many old layers have to come off
- Whether the wood deck underneath needs replacing
- The material you choose
- Chimneys, skylights, dormers and valleys, which all add labor
- Permit and disposal
- Whether upgraded edge metal and nailing are worth doing
- How much of the roof the wind actually reached

Questions from Dover homeowners
Will insurance cover wind damage?
Sometimes. We document what we find with photos and measurements so you can file, but the insurer decides, not us.
Can you tarp it today?
If water is coming in, call us. Tarping depends on conditions, and nobody should be on a wet roof in high wind.
What should I do before the crew shows up?
Move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, clear a path to the attic, and take down anything loose in the yard. We go over the rest when we book the date.
