We get on the roof and check the decking, flashing, and ventilation, then photograph every problem area so you see exactly what we see.

2

Honest Estimate

You get a written, line-by-line estimate with no pressure and no hidden fees. We explain your options in plain English before you decide.

3

Material Selection

Choose the shingle, metal, or flat system that fits your home and budget. We help you weigh looks, lifespan, and coastal durability.

4

Expert Installation

Our crew installs your roof to manufacturer specification, protects your landscaping, and keeps the job site clean from start to finish.

Cleanup and Warranty

We run a magnetic sweep for stray nails, haul away every scrap, and stand behind the work with a manufacturer and workmanship warranty.

About Howard Roofing

Veteran-Led. Family-Owned. Built on Trust.

Founded in 2016, Howard Roofing & Construction was built on the shared vision of father-and-son team Scott Howard - a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with over 40 years of construction experience - and Chris Howard, an award-winning contractor with over 25 years in the industry.

Together, they have built one of the most trusted roofing and remodeling companies in Wilmington and Coastal NC. Their approach is simple: do honest work, use quality materials, and treat every home like it is their own.

Coastal Wilmington NC roof built to withstand hurricane-force winds and salt air
Built for the Carolina Coast

Roofing Engineered for Wilmington Weather

A roof in Wilmington fights salt air, summer humidity, relentless UV, and the threat of hurricane-force wind every single year. A roof built for a mild inland climate will not last here, and the difference shows up the first time a named storm comes ashore.

Every system we install is spec'd for coastal North Carolina: high wind-uplift ratings, corrosion-resistant fasteners, storm-grade sealed underlayment, and ventilation that pushes out the trapped humidity that rots decking from the inside. We build the roof your home actually needs, not the cheapest one that passes a quick look.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a roof replacement take?+
Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days depending on the size of your home, weather conditions, and the roofing material you select. We work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards, and we always clean up before we leave.
Do you offer free roof inspections?+
Yes. We offer complimentary roof inspections for homeowners in the Wilmington area. Our thorough inspection covers shingles, flashing, ventilation, gutters, and structural integrity. We will give you an honest assessment with no obligation.
What roofing materials do you work with?+
We install premium architectural asphalt shingles, standing seam metal roofing, screw-down metal panels, flat roofing systems, and roof coatings. We will help you choose the best material for your budget and coastal conditions.
Do you help with insurance claims for storm damage?+
Yes. We work directly with your insurance company to document storm damage, provide detailed estimates, and ensure your claim covers the full scope of necessary repairs or replacement. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on your family.
What areas do you serve?+
We serve Wilmington, Hampstead, Rocky Point, Leland, Burgaw, Castle Hayne, Southport, Porters Neck, Kings Grant, Myrtle Grove, and surrounding communities in Eastern North Carolina.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. Howard Roofing & Construction is fully licensed and insured. We carry general liability and workers compensation coverage for your protection. We are happy to provide proof of insurance upon request.
How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?+
It depends on the age of your roof, how widespread the damage is, and whether leaks are isolated or spreading. A few missing shingles after a storm is often a repair. Widespread granule loss, sagging, daylight in the attic, or a roof past 20 years usually points to replacement. Our free inspection gives you a straight answer either way, with photos to back it up.
What makes a roof "coastal-rated" for the Wilmington area?+
Coastal roofs need high wind-uplift ratings, corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing, and a sealed underlayment that holds up to wind-driven rain. We spec every system for salt air, humidity, and hurricane season so your roof keeps performing when the weather turns.
How quickly can you respond after storm damage?+
We prioritize emergency calls and can usually get out for tarping and a damage assessment within 24 to 48 hours of a storm, often sooner. We then document everything your insurance company needs so your claim can move forward fast.
Do you work on both residential and commercial roofs?+
Yes. Alongside residential roof replacement and repair, we install flat commercial systems like EPDM and Elasco Flex for businesses, HOA communities, and property managers across Eastern North Carolina.
Do you back your work with a warranty?+
Yes. Your roof is covered by the manufacturer's material warranty plus our own workmanship warranty on the installation. Because we install as certified contractors, your materials carry their full manufacturer warranty coverage.
