Vera's Roofing
Do you repair roofs in Wilmington, NC?
Yes. We repair leaks and damage in one area on homes, rentals and business properties in Wilmington and the rest of New Hanover County. Tell us your neighborhood and what you've noticed.
What we repair
Leaks and damage in one area.
We repair leaks and damage in one area when the rest of the roof still has useful life. That includes lifted or missing shingles, worn flashing at walls, chimneys and valleys, and edges and transitions between roof sections. When a roof needs a temporary cover before the repair, we tarp it.
Repair or replace
An honest answer on whether a repair makes sense.
If the wear is spread across the roof or patches keep coming back, a repair may not be the best use of your money. We'll tell you what we see and leave the decision to you. When a full roof is the better answer, see roof replacement in Wilmington. For a condition check first, start with roof inspections in Wilmington.
Permits
Permits for Wilmington roof repairs.
New Hanover County Permits & Inspections issues all building permits inside Wilmington city limits, and applications go through COAST, the County's online permitting portal (City of Wilmington building permits).
Under North Carolina law, some smaller residential jobs done to the State Building Code don't need a building permit. The exemption has limits, though. Repairing or replacing load-bearing structure and adding new roofing (as opposed to replacing it) are excluded (G.S. 160D-1110). When a permit is required, we handle getting it.
Historic districts
Roof work in a Wilmington historic district.
In Wilmington's local historic districts and overlays, exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the City. An in-kind roof replacement can go through staff-level minor-works review. Changing roofing materials, making structural changes or removing a chimney needs Historic Preservation Commission approval. If your home is in a historic district, tell us when you request the inspection.
Insurance and warranty
Insured work and a one-year warranty.
We carry workers' compensation and general liability insurance. Installations include our one-year warranty on labor and materials, plus the standard manufacturer warranties. For repair work along the rest of the coast, see our roof repair page. After wind or heavy rain, our storm-inspection guide covers what you can safely check from the ground.
