Wilmington's combination of salt air off the Cape Fear River, hurricane history (Florence set rainfall records here in 2018; Fran's 12-foot surge in 1996 damaged three-quarters of New Hanover County homes), and 73-to-81% summer humidity is hard on every exterior surface. That's the backdrop for any honest conversation about a free roof inspection here.
From the antebellum brick of the Historic District to the planned communities of Landfall, Mayfaire, and Forest Hills, the constants are the same: humidity, salt, sun, and storms. Our job is to check what's already in place and add years of life without replacement. Wilmington's housing mix is unusually wide. The Downtown Historic District (one of the largest in the US, with antebellum and Victorian homes) and the post-1980s subdivisions of Landfall and Mayfaire are very different conservation challenges.
We check shingle condition, flashing, valleys, ventilation, gutters, and the attic interior where accessible. Written report with photos. If the roof is fine we say so; if it needs work we tell you what and roughly what it costs. No pressure to hire us. Licensed and insured, coastal NC owned and operated. Bio-based products. Free, no-obligation quotes,we'll tell you straight whether our service is the right fit or not.
