But while coastal living has its perks, it also comes with a quiet downside that homeowners don’t always see right away. Coastal wear and tear doesn’t usually happen overnight.

If you’ve lived in Wilmington for more than five minutes, you know hurricane season isn’t something to take lightly. Strong winds, heavy rain, and flying debris don’t politely knock before they show up. They test your roof immediately, and if there’s a weak spot, they’ll find it.
