Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
Every roof is different. Minor issues such as a few missing shingles, damaged flashing, or isolated leaks can often be repaired. However, if your roof has widespread damage, recurring leaks, or has reached the end of its expected lifespan, a full roof replacement may be the better long-term investment.
Our team performs a thorough roof inspection before recommending any work, ensuring you receive an honest assessment based on your roof's actual condition.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend scheduling a professional roof inspection at least once a year and after major storms involving high winds, hail, or heavy rain. Routine inspections help identify small issues before they become expensive repairs and can extend the life of your roofing system.
Do you offer free roof inspections and estimates?
Yes. Biddle's Contracting LLCproudly provides free roof inspections and free estimates for homeowners and businesses throughout Dover and the surrounding Delaware communities. During your inspection, we'll evaluate your roof, explain our findings, and recommend the best solution for your needs.

Yes. We offer emergency roof repair services for situations such as active roof leaks, storm damage, missing shingles, fallen tree limbs, and other roofing emergencies. Prompt repairs help reduce the risk of additional water damage and protect your property until permanent repairs can be completed.
