From the Four Corners to Lake Como, We Know Smyrna Roofs
Smyrna grew up around the Four Corners at Main and Commerce Streets, and its National Register historic district holds hundreds of buildings from before 1920 — Federal, Greek Revival and Victorian houses beside plain frame homes. The town has also more than doubled since 2000, so many subdivision roofs are now reaching the age when builder-grade shingles start to curl and shed granules. Our Smyrna DE roofing crews serve both the Kent County and New Castle County sides of town. Every visit includes:
- Decking and flashing checks on older, steep-pitched homes
- Honest repair-or-replace advice for 2000s-era roofs
- Photos of everything we find
- Clear written estimates before any work
- Financing for qualified homeowners

Process
How Does Our Roofing Process Work?
From the first visit to the final nail sweep, you’ll know what we found, what we recommend and what it will cost — before any work starts on your Smyrna home.
Step 1. Complete Roof Evaluation
We check shingles, flashing, chimneys, vents, valleys and gutters, and look in the attic for moisture and ventilation problems — common on older Smyrna homes that have been re-roofed more than once.
Step 2. Clear Project Recommendations
You get photos of any problem areas and a written estimate that lists the work, the materials and the price.
Step 3. Skilled Roofing Work
A project manager runs your job and keeps you posted. If the Town requires a permit, we handle it before work begins.
Step 4. Final Check and Cleanup
We haul off debris, sweep for nails with magnets and walk the finished roof with you.

We roof offices, shops and other commercial buildings along the Route 13 corridor and schedule work to keep your doors open.
Seamless Gutter Installation

EVERY ROOF HELPS A VETERAN
Every new roof sold contributes $250 toward free veteran home repairs.
Which Roofing Materials Work Well in Smyrna?
A Victorian on Main Street and a 2005 colonial near Lake Como need different things. We’ll match the material to the house and your budget.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
GAF Timberline HDZ® architectural shingles fit most Smyrna homes and are the base of the Golden Pledge® system.
Metal Roofing
GAF TimberSteel™ metal shingles and standing-seam metal give long service life for owners who plan to stay.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing
Porch roofs, additions and commercial buildings often need TPO or another low-slope system instead of shingles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve both the Kent and New Castle County sides of Smyrna?
Yes. Smyrna straddles the county line, and we serve homes and businesses throughout town and nearby Clayton from our office in Dover.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Smyrna?
The Town of Smyrna requires a building permit when roofing work replaces more than 25% of the roof sheathing, and for siding renovations. We confirm what your project needs during the estimate. You can also call Smyrna Building and Inspections at (302) 653-3486.
Can you work on older homes in the Smyrna Historic District?
Yes. Older homes often have steep pitches, chimneys, dormers and decking that has been covered more than once. We inspect the deck, flashing and ventilation first, then recommend a system that protects the house and suits its style.
My Smyrna home was built in the 2000s. Is it time for a new roof?
Many roofs from that building boom are now 20 years old or more. Curling, granule loss and blown-off tabs are signs the shingles are wearing out. An inspection will tell you whether a repair buys you more time or replacement makes more sense.
How much does a new roof cost in Smyrna?
Price depends on roof size, pitch, number of layers to remove, decking condition and the shingle you choose. After a free inspection, we give you a written estimate so you can compare options.
