We Start With the Truth
A Delaware Roof Might Be a Century Old or Brand New
Replacing a roof is one of the largest home projects most Delaware homeowners ever pay for, and this city’s split between historic downtown homes near Ohio Wesleyan and rapid new-build subdivisions means the honest answer changes from block to block. Older homes can hide layered-over roofs and worn flashing, while new subdivisions often shipped with builder-grade shingles that aged fast under our freeze-thaw winters. A cheap tear-off usually means corners cut where you cannot see them, on the decking, the underlayment, and the flashing. We start by telling you honestly whether you truly need a full replacement, then show you exactly what goes on your roof and why.

On the Ground in Delaware
A Historic District With Real Architectural Standards
Delaware’s Historic Northwest District runs to roughly 1,770 acres right beside the commercial core, and a walk along West Winter Street takes in Federal, Greek Revival, Second Empire, Italianate and American Gothic houses, with Folk Victorian homes from around 1890 and Second Empire from the 1850s. The city established a Downtown Historic District in the 1990s and adopted architectural standards to protect it.
We work all of 43015, from Sandusky and William through to the newer growth along the 23 corridor near Central Avenue. On the historic stock the roof is steep, complicated and often visible from a protected streetscape, which changes both the specification and the approval path.

What Your Roof Actually Needs
What Decides a Roof Replacement on a Delaware Home
Nineteenth century housing in a protected district, and much newer building out on the edges. These four things decide the job. These four things decide the job. These four things decide the job. These four things decide the job.
Historic Materials and Steep Planes
Victorian and Second Empire roofs are steep, multi planed and sometimes not asphalt at all. Matching what is there, or deciding deliberately not to, is the first real conversation rather than an afterthought.
District Standards Affect the Roof
Delaware adopted architectural standards for its historic district in the 1990s, and on a roof that reads from a protected street that can shape material and color. We work that out before ordering, not after.
Chimneys and Multiple Wall Intersections
Houses of this era carry several masonry chimneys and a lot of roof to wall detail. Step flashing woven in course by course at each one is the correct method and most of the craft in the job.
Pitch, Access and Honest Assessment
A steep nineteenth century roof cannot be assessed from the ground, and it cannot be worked quickly or safely without planning. Both facts belong in the quote rather than as a surprise on the day.

Delaware Roof Replacement Questions, Answered
It can. Homes in and around the historic downtown may face additional review on visible materials, so we help you choose an appropriate Owens Corning profile and handle the permitting through Delaware before work begins.
Unfortunately, yes. A lot of Delaware County’s new-growth subdivisions went up with builder-grade shingles that wear out faster than owners expect after repeated Central Ohio hail and freeze-thaw cycles. Our inspection tells you honestly where yours stands.
Delaware homes downtown often turn out to have been roofed over rather than torn off, which changes the recommendation immediately. Layered roofs, widespread shingle loss, or damage across several planes all mean replacement rather than another repair.
Most Delaware homes are completed in a day or two, weather permitting. We give you a clear schedule before we start and keep the site clean each day.
Your roof is only ever installed by our own in-house W-2 licensed crews under Ohio HIC License HIC-L01421. We never hand the work to unlicensed subcontractors.
