Frequently Asked Questions

 

General Roofing Questions

How do I know if I need roof repair or replacement?

Common signs include leaking, missing or curling shingles, debris around your home, or an aging roof. If you notice shingles losing granules or accumulating in your gutters, it may be a sign that your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan. If you see any of these, it’s time to contact a trusted local roofing company in Delaware for an inspection.

Do you offer roofing estimates in Delaware?

Yes. We offer roof inspections and written estimates for homeowners and businesses throughout Delaware.

How long does a roof last in Delaware?

Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–30 years, depending on weather conditions and maintenance. Newer shingles also now have a longer lifespan. And don't forget regular inspections so issues can be spotted early.

Will a dumpster be left on my property during my roofing project?

No. Unlike many roofing contractors, John E. Steele, Jr. Inc. uses its own dump truck for roofing projects rather than leaving a dumpster on your property. This helps minimize disruption to your home, reduces the risk of driveway damage, and allows for a cleaner, more efficient job site
