Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions before you schedule your roof replacement? Here are some of the most common things Wilmington homeowners ask about replacing their roof.
How long does a roof replacement take in Wilmington NC?
Most roof replacements take 1–3 days depending on size, weather, and material type. Complex systems or code upgrades may add extra time.
Do you help with roof replacement insurance claims?
Yes. We document storm damage, provide adjuster reports, and help you navigate the claims process from start to finish.
What types of roofing systems do you install?
We install asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, and flat roofing systems, all tailored for Wilmington’s coastal climate.
Do you provide free roof replacement estimates?
Yes, we offer free, no-obligation inspections and written estimates for all roof replacements in Wilmington NC.
What warranties are available on a new roof?
We offer enhanced manufacturer warranties through GAF & CertainTeed (20–30 years) plus our own workmanship coverage for lasting protection.
How do I know if I need a full roof replacement instead of a repair?
If your roof has widespread shingle damage, multiple leaks, or is approaching the end of its lifespan (typically 20–30 years for asphalt shingles), a full roof replacement is often the most cost-effective solution. During our free inspection, we evaluate the roof decking, flashing, ventilation, and overall system condition to determine whether repair or replacement is the best option. Our goal is always to recommend the solution that protects your home and budget long-term.
What roofing shingles work best for homes in Wilmington and coastal North Carolina?
Homes in Wilmington and the surrounding coastal areas need roofing systems designed to handle strong winds, humidity, and salt exposure. We commonly install high-performance architectural shingles from manufacturers like GAF and CertainTeed that are rated for coastal conditions and hurricane-zone wind resistance. These systems provide excellent durability, manufacturer warranties, and long-term protection for homes in Southeastern North Carolina.
Can I choose the color and style of my new roof?
Yes. Modern roofing systems come in a wide variety of shingle colors and styles to match your home’s design. We help homeowners compare architectural shingle options, color blends, and manufacturer warranties so you can choose the right look and performance for your home.
👉 You can view our roofing shingle color charts and warranty options here:
Will a roof replacement increase my home’s value?
Yes. A new roof is one of the most valuable upgrades a homeowner can make. It improves curb appeal, increases buyer confidence, and helps protect against costly water damage. Many homeowners recover a significant portion of their investment in resale value while also gaining improved energy efficiency and peace of mind from updated warranties.
Do you remove the old roof before installing the new one?
Yes. In most cases we perform a full tear-off of the existing roofing system so we can inspect the decking, flashing, and structural components underneath. This allows us to correct hidden damage and install the new roofing system properly according to manufacturer specifications. A full tear-off ensures the new roof performs correctly and qualifies for manufacturer warranty coverage.
How much does roof replacement cost in Wilmington NC?
The cost of roof replacement in Wilmington NC can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the roof, the materials selected, the pitch and complexity of the roof, and whether any damaged decking or structural repairs are needed. Most residential roof replacements in Southeastern North Carolina fall within a typical range once these variables are evaluated.
At Howard Roofing & Construction, every roof replacement estimate includes a free inspection, detailed measurements, and a written estimate so homeowners know exactly what their project will involve. We review roofing material options, warranty coverage, and installation details to help you choose the best system for your home and budget.
If you're considering replacing your roof, schedule a free roof inspection and estimate with our Wilmington roofing team to receive an accurate project price for your home.
Is it better to repair or replace a roof?
Whether a roof should be repaired or fully replaced depends on the extent of the damage, the age of the roof, and the overall condition of the roofing system. If the problem is limited to a small area—such as a few missing shingles or minor flashing issues—a repair may be the most cost-effective solution.
However, if the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, has widespread damage, or has experienced multiple leaks, a full roof replacement is often the better long-term investment. Replacing the roof allows the entire system—including underlayment, flashing, and ventilation—to be installed properly and covered under manufacturer warranties.
Our team provides free roof inspections in Wilmington and Southeastern North Carolina to help homeowners determine whether a repair or replacement is the best option.
How long does a new roof last in North Carolina?
The lifespan of a new roof depends on the materials used, the quality of installation, and local weather conditions. In coastal areas like Wilmington and Southeastern North Carolina, roofs must withstand humidity, salt air, and occasional hurricane-force winds.
Typical lifespans include:
• Architectural asphalt shingles: 20–30 years
• Standing seam metal roofing: 40–60+ years
• High-end roofing systems with upgraded warranties: even longer with proper maintenance
A professionally installed roofing system with proper ventilation and manufacturer-approved materials can significantly extend the life of your roof while protecting your home from coastal weather conditions.
