What We Do in Dover
In Dover we offer roof repair, storm damage repair and roof replacement. Two of Dover's historic districts are on the National Register, and the city's housing count grew by 2,860 units from 2000 to 2020. The house under your roof may be very old or fairly new, so choose the service below that fits what the roof is doing.
Local Expertise
Who We Work With
Local Conditions
Dover's climate is humid, with hot summers, brief but heavy thunderstorms and winters moderated by the Delaware Bay. Here is what that weather can do to a roof and what we would look for.
Each of these can show up in photos before it shows up on a ceiling. A free inspection tells you where your Dover roof stands.
About the Area
Dover is Delaware's capital, the seat of Kent County and the state's second most populous city. A Dover address can mean a house near The Green, a street off the US 13 commercial strip or a home toward the air base in the southeast corner of the city.
Dover was founded as a court town in 1683 and has two historic districts on the National Register, Dover Green and Victorian Dover, so some of its houses are old enough to have several chimneys and roof-to-wall joints, each one a flashing detail. On an older Dover house, the flashing photos are the ones we would go through with you first.
Dover has kept growing as well: it is one of the fastest-growing areas in Delaware, and its housing count rose from 13,195 units in 2000 to 16,055 in 2020, so newer roofs sit alongside the old ones. State government, county government and Dover Air Force Base are major employers.
Permits for work in Dover go through the City of Dover Planning and Inspections.

A roof often gets its closest look when a house is being sold. Our owner has nine years behind him as a Delaware real estate agent, and one Google reviewer, a realtor, wrote that after a home inspection showed a failing roof we went out and provided pictures and videos of its condition.
Brief, heavy thunderstorms are common here in summer, and the Delaware Bay moderates the winters. On August 4, 2020, Hurricane Isaias produced a tornado that struck the city. After a storm like that, the first thing we would do is take photographs.
US 13 is the main north-south highway through central Dover, on the divided Dupont Highway, and US 13 Alternate runs through downtown on Governors Avenue. DE 1, the toll road, runs east of downtown, and DE 8 crosses east to west on Division Street and Forrest Avenue. The inspection happens at your house, so none of those roads is one you have to drive.

I enjoyed working with Randy. Great price. Great work. He was punctual and his crew completed the job in one day. His crew spent close to an hour making sure the property was cleaned up after the job was finished. Randy was on sight during the day to inspect and provide updates on progress. He walked around the job with me upon completion to make sure I was satisfied with the work and clean up. Would highly recommend.
I had Randy from Home Fortress come out to take a look at my roof to make sure we were still in good space after all the storms this year. I really appreciated that he was honest and didn’t try to sell me a whole new roof when I didn’t need one. He found a few loose shingles and some nail pops, took care of the quick repairs, and explained everything clearly. It was refreshing working with someone who was more focused on fixing the problem than making a bigger sale. If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, easy to work with, and trustworthy, I’d definitely recommend Home Fortress.
I had an exceptional experience with Randy and his team from start to finish. The team is professional and courteous, and the project was completed on time. Randy communicated clearly every step of the way and answered my questions immediately. My roofing work was done with safety at the forefront and the work area was kept clean. It's refreshing to work with a company that values customer service, high-quality workmanship, and clear communication. I highly recommend Randy and his team!

FAQs
Not one we have published; our closest published jobs are two roof replacements in Magnolia, reached from Dover by South State Street. Both used Owens Corning Duration shingles in Brownwood, and one of those roofs was more than 20 years old with several active leaks at the perimeter. Dover itself is named in our Google Business Profile service area.
Yes, both are services we offer: brief, heavy summer thunderstorms are common in Dover, and in August 2020 a tornado from Hurricane Isaias blew roofing off a middle school here. We look at the roof before anyone files and say whether the photos show storm damage or plain wear. If you go ahead with a claim, we are at your Dover house when the adjuster comes and we read the insurer's scope of loss one line at a time before any work begins; when a claim is approved, what you pay is typically your deductible plus any upgrades you pick.
Yes. We offer repairs and full replacements, and on an older house near The Green, the heart of Dover's historic district, that covers chimney flashing, the joints where a roof meets a wall, the fascia and the gutters. The drone photos come first, so you can see each of those details yourself, and then we separate the must-do items from the recommendations, which one Google reviewer singled out.
$500 off a roof replacement, valid September 21 through October 31, 2026, as posted on our Google Business Profile, and financing is available. A Dover roof is priced on its own after the free inspection and estimate, so you see the roof in photos before deciding anything. Call (302) 314-1025 to set that up.
Call (302) 314-1025; we are open Monday through Friday 8 AM to 6 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 2 PM, and closed Sunday. If you are calling after one of Dover's summer thunderstorms, tell us what you can see from the ground. We come to you from Middletown, and before we meet we send a short video that explains the roofing process.
