Wilmington · New Hanover County · Retail
This is the Wilmington page for shingle roofing. The short version: you want the best value roof that still meets code and insurance requirements, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteAerial measurement plus a five-minute history of the house beats a drive-by estimate in an area this varied. Real estate activity drives a lot of the roofing here — pre-listing inspections, buyer credits, and insurance-driven replacements right after closing. Salt air corrodes fasteners and drip edge years before shingles look worn, so coastal roofs often fail from the metal out.
On cost: the most affordable full-roof option; the step up to Class 4 impact-rated shingle is a modest premium that usually pays for itself in Texas through carrier discounts.

How it works
A shingle that passed the UL 2218 steel-ball impact test at the highest level. Many Texas insurers give a premium credit for it; some Florida carriers do too.
Manufacturers say 25–30 years. In Florida and Texas sun, 18–22 is more realistic for standard architectural shingle. Ventilation and installation quality make up most of the difference.
