Frequently Asked Roofing Questions In Georgetown, Delaware

Labor Costs

How much does roofing labor cost in Georgetown, Delaware compared to nearby areas? In Georgetown, Sussex County, roofing labor typically runs $1.50 to $3.00 per sq ft, or about $25 to $40 per hour. That is usually lower than Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, due to tourist driven demand, roughly comparable to Millsboro and Seaford, and slightly higher than more rural outskirts.

Weather & Climate Considerations

How does Georgetown, Delaware's weather affect roof lifespan? Georgetown, Delaware’s coastal climate, about 45 in annual rain, low snowfall under 10 in, frequent humid summers, and periodic nor’easters and hurricane remnants with strong gusts, plus high summer sun and UV, accelerates shingle UV cracking, algae growth, flashing corrosion and wind uplift, commonly shortening asphalt roof life by several years versus inland roofs.
What is the most common cause of roof damage in Georgetown, Delaware? In Georgetown, Delaware, wind damage from nor’easters, coastal storms and summertime thunderstorms is the most common cause of roof problems, often causing missing shingles and leaks, with salt-laden air and aging materials accelerating deterioration.
What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Georgetown, Delaware? In Georgetown, Delaware, in Sussex County, replace a roof late spring through early fall, typically May, June, or September. Temperatures suit shingles and adhesives, rainfall is lower than midsummer, and inland location reduces coastal spray, though hurricane season can bring storms. Avoid winter cold and peak summer thunderstorms.

Insurance & Storms

How common are storm-related roof claims in Georgetown, Delaware? In Georgetown, Delaware, storm-related roof claims are moderately common. Peak damage occurs late summer from tropical systems and during winter Nor’easters, with wind-driven shingle loss and water intrusion most reported. Hail is rarer. Locally, homeowners typically see a few to several roof claims reported annually.
What natural disasters in Georgetown, Delaware cause the most roof replacements? Georgetown, Delaware roof replacements mostly follow high winds from hurricanes and tropical storms, notably Tropical Storm Isaias in 2020, severe thunderstorms with hail, and fallen trees during nor’easters and winter ice events, flooding and surge are less common inland causes.
