Roofing Built Around Chester's Homes

Chester is one of the more varied residential markets we work in. Custom-built homes sit alongside large developer-built neighborhoods, and house styles range from two-story colonials to ranches and townhomes.

Many of Chester’s newer and larger developments were built with standard builder-grade asphalt shingles. We know the wear pattern each shingle type and roof style is prone to, so repairs and replacements are tailored to your home instead of a one-size-fits-all fix.

I was completely impressed with the job the team from DL Williams did on replacing my roof. I had them put on Grand Manor Certainteed shingles and they look awesome. They worked nonstop in the miserable heat all day minus a short lunch break. I was very impressed. They also took very good care of the surroundings by placing heavy duty netting all around the house to prevent any damage to my ac units, generator, porch, deck, driveway, steps etc. When complete they also cleaned up behind themselves so well that if you did not see the new roof you would not have known they had been there. I highly recommend.

Very pleased with the work that DL Williams provided for us. A few weeks ago after a torrential downpour we noticed our skylights were leaking. They came out quickly to evaluate the damage and provided multiple options to fix the issues. They completed the job efficiently and expertly. It’s nice to have peace of mind that our roof is good to go now and we have DL Williams to thank for that! Highly recommend. A++

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?

It depends on the age of your roof, how widespread the damage is, and what’s causing it. A missing shingle or a small leak after a storm is often a straightforward repair. Widespread wear, especially on an older builder-grade roof, usually points toward a complete roof replacement. We’ll give you an honest read on which situation you’re in during your estimate.

How do I know if a roof leak is an emergency?

Active water coming through the ceiling, a sagging roof deck, or exposed decking after storm damage all require immediate attention. Smaller issues like a slow drip or a missing shingle still need repair, but they’re less likely to get worse overnight.

Do you offer any roof maintenance or inspections outside of storm damage?

Yes. A roof doesn’t have to be leaking for it to be worth a look. We’ll perform a routine inspection to identify small issues like worn flashing or aging shingles before they turn into a big problem.

What types of roofs do you work with?

The large majority of what we install and repair in Chester is asphalt shingle. We also work with EPDM and TPO roofing. If you want something outside the standard shingle look, cedar shake is available too. We’ll walk you through which option actually fits your home rather than defaulting to one product.

When are EPDM or TPO roofs used?

EPDM and TPO are generally used for flat or low-slope roof sections where asphalt shingles aren’t suitable. Both are membrane roofing systems designed for these applications, with the right option depending on the roof’s design, existing construction, and specific project needs.
