From Westover Hills to Centreville Village, Roofs With Character
Home values in the 19807 ZIP code are among the highest in Delaware, and about 40% of its homes were built before 1960. Westover Hills, laid out in the late 1920s, is known for Colonial and Tudor Revival houses with steep slopes, dormers and big chimneys. In Centreville, the historic village along Kennett Pike (Route 52) sits inside a New Castle County historic zoning overlay. Many of these homes have slate, wood shake or copper details, and repairing or replacing them takes planning. Our Greenville DE roofing inspections look at:
- Natural slate and cedar shake condition, and what can be repaired
- Steep slopes, dormers, turrets and multiple chimneys
- Flashing, valleys and built-in gutters on older homes
- Attic ventilation in additions and finished third floors
- Material options that respect the home’s style
- Historic overlay and deed-restriction requirements

Process
How Does Our Roofing Process Work?
Complex homes deserve a careful process. Nothing starts until you’ve seen the photos and approved a written estimate.
Step 1. Complete Roof Evaluation
We document roof material and condition, chimneys, flashing, valleys, gutters and attic ventilation, and note any historic overlay or community rules that apply.
Step 2. Clear Project Recommendations
We explain options — from targeted repairs, including slate and cedar repair, to a full GAF system — with photos, materials and costs in writing.
Step 3. Skilled Roofing Work
Your project manager coordinates permits or reviews if required, protects landscaping and driveways, and keeps you updated throughout.
Step 4. Final Check and Cleanup
We clean up thoroughly, sweep for nails with magnets and walk the finished roof with you.

New Roof Installation
Roof Repair
Complete Roof Replacement
When an old roof is past repair, we tear off to the deck, repair it and install a new GAF system. Building code requires slate and wood shake to be removed before a new roof goes on. If your shingles are aging but still sound, roof rejuvenation can restore flexibility and buy you more time before a replacement.

Planning a Roof for Your Greenville or Centreville Home?
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Greenville?
Greenville is in unincorporated New Castle County. A like-for-like re-roof on a house is generally exempt from a permit unless more than 25% of the sheathing is replaced, but properties in a County historic overlay, structural work and commercial buildings follow different rules. We check your property’s status during the estimate.
My home is in Centreville's historic district. Does that change anything?
Possibly. Properties in a New Castle County historic zoning overlay, including part of Centreville along Kennett Pike, can need County historic review for exterior changes before permits are issued. We’ll check your property’s status and help you prepare material details.
Can you repair my slate or cedar roof, or do I need to replace it?
Often it can be repaired. Our crews repair natural slate and cedar shake roofs, and after a free inspection we’ll tell you honestly whether repair still makes sense. If it’s time to replace, GAF Slateline® and Camelot® II give a slate look, and Grand Sequoia® and Woodland® give a shake look, at lower weight and cost than the originals. Building code requires slate and wood shake to be torn off before a new roof is installed.
What usually causes leaks on older Greenville homes?
Most often it’s flashing at chimneys, dormers, walls and valleys, not the roof surface itself. Built-in gutters and aging decking can also play a part. We check those spots closely.
My neighborhood has deed restrictions. Can you help?
Yes. Communities like Westover Hills have deed restrictions. We’ll give you product names, colors and samples so you can get approval before work is scheduled.
How much does a roof cost on a larger Greenville home?
It depends on roof area, pitch, complexity, existing material, decking and the shingle line. After a free inspection we give you a detailed written estimate.
A windstorm brought a limb down on my Greenville roof. What now?
Stay out of the rooms below if you see sagging or water, and call us. We’ll inspect the roof, including slate or cedar sections, repair the damage and document it with photos you can share with your insurer.
