OUR STORY

Roofing Experience in Lewes Since 1986

Platinum Roofs began in 1986 as T.R. Roofing, Inc., a flat-roofing company founded by Tom Ream and built on generations of family roofing experience. The early company focused on flat and low-slope roofing systems, including EPDM rubber roofing, while building its reputation through detailed installation and dependable service.

In 1994, Joe Crispin joined the company as an installer and business apprentice. After working alongside Tom Ream and learning both the field and business sides of the company, ownership transitioned to Joe and the company became Platinum Roofs.

Today, Platinum Roofs continues that foundation while providing a broader range of residential roofing, commercial roofing, leak remediation, and exterior services for coastal and inland Sussex County properties.

HOW WE WORK

How We Approach Each Property

Every property has different roofing and exterior conditions. Roof design, materials, drainage, exposure, previous repairs, building use, and access can all affect the appropriate direction.

Our process begins with understanding the concern and evaluating the relevant parts of the property. A visible leak may involve roofing materials, flashing, drainage, windows, doors, decks, concrete, or another exterior transition.

Platinum Roofs explains what we find and recommends the next step based on the property’s actual condition rather than applying the same solution to every building. What guides our recommendations:

  • The source and extent of the visible concern

  • Roof age, materials, slope, and drainage

  • Previous repairs and overall system condition

  • Residential or commercial building use

  • Access, occupancy, and project requirements

  • Whether more than one exterior system is involved

SYSTEMS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

Built to Adapt. Focused on Quality.

Roofing materials, installation methods, building requirements, and project technology have changed since Platinum Roofs began. Our team continues to adapt while keeping the focus on proper installation, clear project direction, and systems selected for the building.

We work with roofing and exterior products from manufacturers and system providers such as GAF, Mule-Hide, Duro-Last, Sherwin-Williams, Duradek, and Champion Gutter Guards when those products fit the property and approved project scope.

Whether the work involves an older structure, a modern home, a commercial roof, water intrusion, or an exterior improvement, the recommendation begins with the conditions found at the property.

What we bring to each project:

  • Experience with older and modern structures

  • Residential and commercial roofing capabilities

  • Proven roofing and exterior systems

  • Attention to flashing, drainage, transitions, and installation details

  • Leak remediation and exterior services under one team

  • Recommendations based on the approved project scope

SYSTEMS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

Built to Adapt. Focused on Quality.

Lewes includes waterfront properties, historic homes, newer residential communities, commercial buildings, and seasonal properties. Each can have different roofing, drainage, access, and exterior needs.

Properties near Lewes Beach and the Delaware Bay can experience repeated exposure to wind, rain, moisture, strong sun, and seasonal storms. Homes near the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal and older parts of the city may also include complex rooflines, flashing transitions, low-slope additions, and aging exterior materials.

Platinum Roofs evaluates the complete property rather than assuming every leak, damaged area, or aging roof requires the same solution.

Common reasons Lewes property owners contact us include:

  • Missing, lifted, or deteriorated roofing materials

  • Leaks around flashing, walls, chimneys, and penetrations

  • Drainage concerns on flat and low-slope roofs

  • Water intrusion around roof and exterior transitions

  • Aging windows, doors, decks, railings, or gutter systems

  • Always on-time, responsive & respectful

  • Family-owned and trusted locally since 1986

  • Roof repairs designed for long-term performance
