Frequently Asked Questions
How does R A Barker handle common Wilmington roofing issues like aging shingles or storm leaks?
Living in Wilmington means dealing with variable weather that can wear down roofs. For aging shingles or leaks after a storm, our approach starts with a thorough, no-obligation inspection. We assess the full extent of the damage, whether it requires a targeted repair, a partial re-roof, or a full replacement. Using durable materials suited for our local climate, we ensure repairs are completed promptly to prevent interior water damage, providing you with a reliable, long-term solution to protect your home.
What is your process for a major home addition, like a bedroom or garage, in Wilmington?
Adding a new structure, like a bedroom or detached garage, requires careful planning, especially with local zoning. Our process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your goals. We then handle the necessary permits for New Castle County, manage all phases of construction from foundation to finish, and maintain transparent communication throughout. Our experience with building additions ensures the new space integrates seamlessly with your existing home's structure and style, enhancing both function and value.
Can you manage both a kitchen remodel and window replacement in one project?
Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we efficiently coordinate multiple trades. For a project combining a kitchen remodel with new window installation, we create a unified timeline. This allows us to sequence work—like completing window replacements to ensure the exterior is sealed before interior finishes begin—minimizing disruption. Managing all aspects under one roof ensures consistency in quality, simplifies communication for you, and often proves more cost-effective than hiring separate specialists.
