Of the 2 companies we track in Lewes, 1 has an active contractor license located in public records, 1 is a registered business entity, and 1 operates from a commercial rather than residential address. Delaware issues roofing-contractor licensing at the state level, so an active state license is the baseline credential to confirm before hiring. A company not appearing with a license here isn’t proof it’s unlicensed - some jurisdictions don’t publish - so verify directly, and always confirm liability and workers’ comp insurance before work starts.

Sussex County has recorded 179 significant storm events in the past decade, including hail up to 2.25" and wind gusts to 105 mph, so storm-driven roof damage is common here. After big storms, be wary of out-of-area crews who show up unsolicited, pressure you to sign immediately, or ask you to sign over your insurance claim. 2 of the roofers we track are based in Lewes itself, alongside 5 that service it from nearby - favor an established local firm you can verify over a crew that appeared after the hail.

1 of the 2 roofers we track in Lewes hold at least one manufacturer certification (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, IKO, Malarkey). The most common here is CertainTeed, held by 1 company - versus 44% certified across Delaware. Certification means the manufacturer vetted the contractor and lets them back your roof with stronger, longer material-and-labor warranties. Not required to install a roof, but a real signal of training and standing.

Roofing is a high-fall-risk trade, so safety history matters. Of the 2 companies we track in Lewes, 2 have at least one federal OSHA violation on record in the past 10 years, and 0 have none. We show any recorded violation - citation, severity, and penalty - on each profile. A clean record isn’t a guarantee, but repeated serious violations are a real red flag.
