Serving Elsmere, DE
Elsmere is a small, densely built borough just west of the city of Wilmington in New Castle County, lined with early-1900s rowhomes, bungalows, and twins. We roof them all with roof replacement, roof repair, storm & hail damage repair, roof inspection, gutter installation & repair, and flashing & chimney repair.
These older Elsmere homes tend to have low-slope porch roofs and original flashing that fail long before the main roof does. With tight lot spacing and mature street trees, clogged gutters and valley leaks are frequent, and full replacements often uncover deck rot from years of humidity.
Whatever you need, we handle it for Elsmere and the rest of New Castle County. Call (302) 618-1471 for a free estimate.

These older Elsmere homes tend to have low-slope porch and addition roofs and original flashing that fail long before the main roof does, so we see a lot of localized leaks at those weak points. Tight lot spacing and mature street trees pack the gutters and valleys with debris, which backs up water and causes valley leaks, and full replacements here often uncover deck rot from years of hidden moisture. The pattern is usually detail failures and drainage problems rather than whole-roof wear. We trace leaks to their real source and can flag the decking and ventilation issues an older home hides. Call (302) 618-1471.
Yes — and on Elsmere’s tight, tree-lined lots it matters more than most people think. Mature street trees pack gutters with leaves and seed pods, and when gutters overflow they cause the valley leaks and fascia rot common on these older homes, plus winter ice dams. We clean the gutters, repair sagging and leaking sections, correct the pitch, and reseal joints so water actually drains away from the roof edge and foundation. Where old, undersized gutters can’t keep up with a hard Delaware rain, we can talk through upsizing to seamless aluminum. Call (302) 618-1471 and we’ll get your drainage working right.
