What We Do in Smyrna
Roof repair, storm damage repair and roof replacement are the roofing services we offer in Smyrna, along with siding, windows, exterior doors, gutters and skylights. Smyrna has a historic district on the National Register and a housing count that more than doubled between the 2000 and 2020 censuses, so a Smyrna roof may need anything from a flashing repair at an old chimney to a full replacement. The links below cover each service.
Local Expertise
Who We Work With
Local Conditions
Smyrna has hot, humid summers, generally mild to cool winters, a historic district and a housing count that more than doubled between two censuses. Those facts point to a short list of things we would check on a roof here.
You do not need a ladder to check any of this. We fly the roof and send you the photos, slope by slope.
About the Area
Smyrna sits in two counties: part of the town is in Kent County, where it is counted with the Dover metropolitan area, and part crosses into New Castle County. We serve both sides of that line the same way.
The town began as Duck Creek Cross Roads on the King's Highway, shipped grain, lumber and produce from Duck Creek, and carried on as a farm center. The Smyrna Historic District is on the National Register, and on an older house there we check the chimney, the valleys and any seam where an addition ties into the original roofline.
For a roofer, the bigger fact is growth. Smyrna had 5,679 residents at the 2000 census and 12,883 at the 2020 census, so a roof put on early in that stretch may now be old enough to show wear: granules in the gutters, tabs that no longer lie flat, sealant that has let go along the ridge.
Permits for work in Smyrna go through the Town of Smyrna Planning & Zoning Department.

A roof in that condition may need a few repairs or may be due for replacement, and we tell you which. One Google reviewer writes that we took care of the quick repairs and “didn’t try to sell me a whole new roof when I didn’t need one”.
US 13 runs through town on Dupont Boulevard, and the DE 1 toll road passes along the eastern edge with exits at South Smyrna and North Smyrna. DE 6 crosses east to west, out to Clayton one way and toward Woodland Beach the other. From Middletown, the route to Smyrna is Summit Bridge Road (DE 71) and US 13.
No Smyrna roof is among our published jobs so far, so this page has no job story to tell. The nearest published Delaware jobs by road are a roof replacement in Townsend, in Owens Corning Duration Pacific Wave, and two in Middletown, one in Williamsburg Gray and one in Evergreen Mist. All three are on our Google Business Profile with photos.

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
Yes. Inspections and estimates are free in Smyrna, whether your house is on the Kent County side or the New Castle County side. We photograph the roof by drone, so you see the ridge, the valleys and the flashing for yourself; call (302) 314-1025 to set one up.
The build year will not answer that, but photos will: Smyrna's housing count more than doubled between the 2000 and 2020 censuses, so a roof here may be at the age where wear starts to show. We photograph the shingles and the flashing and go through the pictures with you. If a few repairs will carry the roof, that is what we recommend.
Our published replacements use Owens Corning Duration shingles, and we offer three packages: Fortress Core with Owens Corning Oakridge shingles, Fortress Shield with Duration, which most homeowners pick, and Fortress Elite with designer shingles and upgraded underlayment. The Duration colors in our published photos are Williamsburg Gray, Evergreen Mist, Estate Gray, Brownwood and Pacific Wave. Smyrna homes on the New Castle County side get the same choices.
On a Smyrna roof after a wind storm we would check the ridge, the rakes and the roof edges first, since those are the places wind tends to get under a shingle. Smyrna carried on as a farm center after its port trade ended, and wind across open farmland is part of Delaware weather, so a side of the house that faces open ground gets extra attention. After that you get a straight answer on storm damage versus wear that was already there, and several Google reviewers describe us replacing shingles that had blown off or gone missing.
Usually algae: Smyrna has hot, humid summers, and a slope that stays shaded and damp gives algae and moss what they need. The streaks are mostly a matter of looks, but moss is different: it lifts shingle edges and holds water against them. We can photograph the slope and tell you whether what you see is staining or something that needs a repair.
