Two things shape what we look for on a Middletown roof: the high wind we wrote about in our Parkside post, and a housing count that more than tripled between the 2000 and 2020 censuses. These are the five we would check first.
If your Middletown roof dates from the growth years and nobody has looked at it lately, start with a free inspection.
About the Area
Middletown is known as the fastest growing area in Delaware, and the census shows the scale. The town counted 6,161 residents and 2,514 housing units in 2000; by 2020 it had 23,192 residents and 8,399 housing units, and recent annexations of land have fed that growth. When a town adds that many houses in twenty years, a lot of its roofs are likely to be close in age, and more of them may need attention in the same stretch of years.
DE 299 runs east to west through Middletown on Main Street, DE 71 runs north to south on Broad Street, and a rail line passes through the center of town. Housing developments surround it, especially to the north.
On a house in one of those developments we ask whether the shingles are the originals and look at how they have handled wind. An older house gets a different look: how many layers are on the deck, and what shape the flashing is in.
Permits for work in Middletown go through the Town of Middletown Permits, Licensing and Inspections Department.

Wind matters here too. As we wrote in our Parkside post, Middletown gets its share of high wind.
On that job the original builder-grade shingles had been damaged more than once before the owners replaced the roof with Owens Corning Duration in Williamsburg Gray. A second published Middletown replacement used the same shingle line in Evergreen Mist.
Middletown is also where we come from. We are family owned, and our owner and his wife grew up in the Middletown area. As a service-area business we do the travelling: the inspection and estimate happen at your house, both are free, and we show you the drone pictures we take.

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
As we wrote in our Parkside post, Middletown gets its share of high wind, and wind damage on a shingle roof starts at the edges and ridge. On that Parkside job the original builder-grade shingles had been wind damaged repeatedly before the owners replaced the roof. A shingle whose seal has let go can lift, crease and tear off in a later gust.
Not automatically. Middletown went from 2,514 housing units to 8,399 between the 2000 and 2020 censuses, so many original roofs here may be reaching the age where wear shows, though age alone does not decide it. We photograph the roof by drone and tell you whether a repair will hold; one reviewer writes that we did not try to sell a whole new roof that was not needed.
Both of our published Middletown jobs used Owens Corning Duration: Williamsburg Gray in Parkside and Evergreen Mist on a second home. Duration is the shingle in our Fortress Shield package, the one most homeowners pick. Roof replacements carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty; ask us for the written warranty terms for the system you choose.
Yes. After a wind storm in Middletown the first question is whether your roof shows storm damage or ordinary wear, so we inspect first and say plainly which it is. If you file a claim, we are at the house when the adjuster comes, and before work starts we go through the insurer's scope of loss one line at a time; when a claim is approved, what you pay is typically your deductible plus any upgrades you choose.
There is a $500 off a roof replacement offer, and financing is available; ask about both when you call (302) 314-1025. Typical price ranges by home size are on our roof replacement page, and every Middletown roof gets its own price after the free inspection.
