Schroeder Roofing - Wilmington's Licensed Roofing Services

In our coastal climate, the constant expansion and contraction from heat and humidity, combined with exposure to salt air and strong winds, can degrade the sealant and metal around chimney flashing. This creates gaps that allow water to seep in during our frequent heavy rains. We inspect the entire flashing system, replace corroded materials with durable alternatives, and ensure a proper seal to withstand local conditions.

A leaking valley is a serious issue that requires expert attention. For a proper repair, we first clear any debris, inspect the underlying valley metal or membrane for rust, cracks, or improper installation, and assess the surrounding shingles. We then install a new, wider valley system using corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring a seamless channel that can handle the volume of rainwater we experience in Wilmington, directing it safely off your roof.

Absolutely. We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year, especially after storm season. Our thorough inspection focuses on high-risk areas like flashing, valleys, and around penetrations. We'll provide a detailed report on your roof's condition, identify any vulnerabilities specific to Wilmington homes, and recommend proactive maintenance or repairs to prevent costly water damage before it starts.
