Wilmington NC Roofing and Siding Contractor – Harbor Roofing and Siding
Roof problems in Wilmington don’t wait around. A small issue can turn into interior damage fast, especially with the kind of rain, humidity, and storms we get here. If you own a home near the coast, you already know this isn’t the same environment as inland North Carolina. Roofs here age differently. They take more abuse. And they need repairs done the right way.
Harbor Roofing and Siding has been providing roof repair in Wilmington, NC for over 16 years. We’re one of the oldest roofing companies in town, based right here at 311 Judges Rd, Wilmington, NC. We’ve repaired roofs in every part of the area — from Downtown and Ogden to Wrightsville Beach, Monkey Junction, Porters Neck, and everywhere in between.
We don’t do quick patches meant to fail later. We repair roofs so they hold up in coastal weather, not just pass the moment.
Coastal weather hits different here. Between salt air, hot summers, and hurricane season, roofs in Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Ogden, and Porters Neck take more wear. We build and fix roofs for this exact climate, not some one-size plan.
When wind or rain rolls through Monkey Junction or Downtown, people don’t want to wait a week. We’re local, so we can get out quick, check the damage, and stop leaks before they spread.
We’ll tell you if a repair makes sense or if it’s time for a new roof. No pushing. Just showing you what we see, with clear options and a fair price.

We did the Fortified Roof program. Nate took the time to go through all the details with me and explained each one. The crew was professional and polite and cleaned up the site very well. Thank you Harbor Roofing! Susan StewartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had Harbor Roofing to replace tile roof with metal after Hurricane Matthew. Could not have been more pleased with the result! Nate was extremely professional and measured everything, to make sure the roof was perfect! Since then, he has cleaned our flat roof several times and is extremely quick in responding to our requests. Would highly recommend Nate Thompson and Harbor Roofing if a roof is needed. Susan Stewart Josh WrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had Harbor Roofing out to replace my roof and upgrade it to IBHS Fortified with a full ice & water shield under the shingles. Their crew worked fast and completed my large / steep roof in 2 days. NCIUA insurance approved the work and sent the rebate check a few weeks later. Chris LassiterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had Nate and his team replace our roof back in 2020 and it looks as great today as it did when installed. We were so impressed with their work, we had them do a metal roof on our barn in 2023. Our annual inspection shows everything is as it should be. We have our third project scheduled with Roger to put shingles on our “country house” and look forward to another successful installation. We appreciate your hard work and dedication! Debra HooperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harbor Roofing is a superior company to work with. The quality and detailing of their work is superior. I highly recommend Harbor Roofing. I would only use them for installation and any necessary repairs, such as hurricane or storm damage. DEBORAH BARTONTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend this business. The job involved 4 townhouses to be re-roofed and two free standing garages. Nate explained the shingle quality, hand nailing vs air nailing, vent replacement, plywood repairs etc. The team was punctual and work a day and half. A follow up was completed with a punch list. Our neighborhood was amazed with the completion of the job and we are highly satisfied. Daniel BrookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harbor Roofing and Siding was great to work with. We needed new siding and a new roof so it was nice to be able to work with just one company. Nate was very responsive and offered up some great ideas for our roof to fix our issues and give our house a great new look. Plus the cost for it all was less than than all the other quotes I received. We are very pleased with the work they did and love the new look of our house!
A roof that might last decades inland can start failing much sooner near the coast. Wilmington roofs deal with:
Heavy rain that finds small gaps fast
High humidity that breaks down materials
Salt air that corrodes flashing and fasteners
Strong winds that lift shingles and metal edges
Hot summers that dry and crack aging roofs
We see it every week. Roofs that look “fine” from the ground but are already letting water in. Flashing that’s rusted out. Shingles loosened by wind. Small leaks that only show up after long rainstorms.
That’s why local experience matters. After 16+ years working on Wilmington roofs, we know where problems start and how to fix them before they spread.
Every neighborhood has its own patterns, but these are the roof repair issues we see most often around Wilmington and the surrounding areas.
Leaks don’t always drip straight down. Water can travel along decking, framing, and insulation before it shows up inside. We trace leaks to the source, not just where the water appears.
High winds from storms and hurricanes can lift or tear shingles loose. Once that happens, the roof is exposed underneath. We replace damaged shingles and secure surrounding areas so the repair holds.
Most leaks start at flashing — around chimneys, walls, skylights, and valleys. Salt air eats flashing fast here. We custom-fit repairs so water runs off instead of finding gaps.
Edges take a beating in Wilmington’s wind and rain. Bent or rusted drip edge lets water reach the wood below. We repair or replace edge metal to stop rot before it spreads.
After tropical storms or hurricanes, roofs often have damage that isn’t obvious. Lifted shingles, loose fasteners, and weakened areas can fail months later if not repaired.
Metal roofs last a long time, but they’re not maintenance-free — especially near the coast.
We repair:
Loose or missing fasteners
Corroded flashing or trim
Leaking seams or transitions
Storm-damaged panels
Salt air and humidity accelerate corrosion if repairs aren’t done correctly. We use materials and methods that make sense for coastal conditions, not inland shortcuts.
Most people call us because something doesn’t feel right. A stain on the ceiling. A shingle in the yard. A leak after heavy rain.
They stay with us because we’re honest.
We’ll tell you if a repair makes sense
We’ll tell you if the roof is near the end
We don’t push replacements when repairs will do
We explain what we see, in plain language
That approach is why we’ve been around for over 16 years, while a lot of roofing companies come and go.
Roof problems don’t get better on their own, especially here. Moisture spreads fast in this climate.
Because we’re local and based right here in Wilmington, we can:
Respond quickly after storms
Inspect damage before it worsens
Make temporary protections if needed
Schedule repairs without long waits
When rain is in the forecast, timing matters.
Some inspections are just a glance. That’s not how we do it.
When we inspect a roof for repair, we look at:
Shingles or panels
Flashing and penetrations
Roof edges and transitions
Signs of trapped moisture
Storm or wind damage
We’re looking for where the roof is likely to fail next, not just what’s already leaking.
Roof repairs in New Hanover County still need to meet local standards. Wind ratings, fastening, and flashing details matter more the closer you get to the coast.
We repair roofs so they:
Hold up in storms
Meet inspection requirements
Don’t create future weak spots
Cut corners might save a little upfront, but they cost more later.
Harbor Roofing and Siding isn’t a franchise or an out-of-town storm chaser. We’re a local Wilmington company, operating from 311 Judges Rd, serving this area for more than 16 years.
We’ve repaired roofs:
Before and after hurricanes
On homes by the river and near the beach
On new builds and historic houses
That experience matters when diagnosing problems and choosing the right fix.
Not every roof needs to be replaced. Not every roof should be repaired.
We’ll help you decide:
Whether a repair will truly solve the issue
How much life the roof realistically has left
What makes sense financially and structurally
No pressure. Just clear options.
We provide roof repair services throughout:
Wilmington, NC
Ogden
Porters Neck
Monkey Junction
Murrayville
Wrightsville Beach
Carolina Beach
Kure Beach
Hampstead
Castle Hayne
If you’re near Wilmington, we likely already work in your neighborhood.
We see this all the time. A homeowner notices a small issue but puts it off because it doesn’t seem urgent. In Wilmington, that delay usually costs more than expected.
Moisture doesn’t just sit still here. With our humidity levels, once water gets into a roof system, it spreads. Decking softens. Nails loosen. Mold can start forming before stains even show up inside.
A minor flashing leak today can turn into:
Rotted roof decking
Damaged insulation
Interior ceiling repairs
Mold concerns
Larger repair areas than originally needed
That’s why early roof repair matters so much along the coast. Fixing a problem when it’s still small often saves thousands later.
Wilmington doesn’t need a direct hit to see roof damage. We get plenty of issues from storms that pass offshore or weaken before landfall.
After storms, we commonly find:
Lifted shingles that haven’t blown off yet
Fasteners backing out from wind pressure
Flashing pulled loose at edges and walls
Minor punctures from debris
These problems don’t always cause immediate leaks. Sometimes they show up months later during a long rain. That’s why post-storm roof inspections and repairs are so important here, especially in neighborhoods closer to the water.
We’ve been repairing roofs after storms in Wilmington for over 16 years. We know what storm damage looks like before it becomes obvious.
Downtown Wilmington and surrounding areas have many older homes with roof systems that don’t match modern designs. Repairs on these roofs require more care and experience.
Older homes often have:
Uneven roof decking
Non-standard flashing details
Multiple roof layers from past repairs
Older ventilation setups
A quick patch can create more problems if it doesn’t account for how the roof was originally built. We take the time to repair these roofs properly, keeping water out without compromising the structure.
A good repair shouldn’t look like a patch job.
We take care to:
Match shingle color and profile when possible
Keep repair areas clean and consistent
Avoid unnecessary tear-off
Protect surrounding materials during work
This matters not just for appearance, but for performance. A repair that blends properly is less likely to fail in high winds.
Roof repairs can be stressful, especially when you’re dealing with leaks or storm damage. We keep the process straightforward.
You can expect:
A clear explanation of the problem
Photos or walkthroughs when helpful
Honest advice about repair vs. replacement
No surprise charges
That approach is why many of our repair customers call us again years later when they need work done.
One of the biggest concerns homeowners have with roof repairs is whether the company will still be around if something goes wrong later.
Harbor Roofing and Siding has been serving Wilmington for over 16 years, operating locally from 311 Judges Rd. We’re not a pop-up storm company, and we’re not disappearing after the job.

You should schedule a roof inspection or repair if you notice:
Water stains on ceilings or walls
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
Rusted or loose flashing
Drips during heavy rain
Shingles or metal pieces in your yard
A roof that’s been through recent storms
If something doesn’t look or feel right, it’s usually worth checking.
