How New Hanover County’s storms compare
New Hanover County sits in the coast. From 2016 through 2025, NOAA’s Storm Events Database logged 12 hail reports and 48 damaging thunderstorm-wind reports there — fewer hail reports than Wake County’s 125. Its tropical-storm and hurricane entries name Hermine, Matthew, Florence, Elsa, Colin and Ian.
| County (region) | Hail reports | Largest hail | Thunderstorm-wind reports | Tornadoes | Named-storm entries |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wake (the Triangle) | 125 | 2.75 in. | 322 | 5 | Hermine, Florence, Michael, Dorian, Isaias, Ian |
| Mecklenburg (the Charlotte region) | 34 | 1.75 in. | 110 | 5 | Zeta, Ian, Helene |
| Guilford (the Triad) | 41 | 2 in. | 169 | 3 | Michael, Zeta, Ian |
| New Hanover (the coast) | 12 | 1 in. | 48 | 16 | Hermine, Matthew, Florence, Elsa, Colin, Ian |
| Buncombe (the mountains) | 27 | 2.5 in. | 53 | 1 | Zeta, Helene |
One state license, from Murphy to Manteo
Roofers are licensed the same way everywhere in North Carolina. The NC Licensing Board for General Contractors requires a license when a project costs $40,000 or more — a threshold set by G.S. 87-1 and raised from $30,000 in October 2023 — and roofing is licensed under the Board’s S(Roofing) specialty classification as well as its Residential and Building classifications.
Every license carries a project limit: up to $750,000 for a Limited license, $1.5 million for Intermediate, no cap for Unlimited (G.S. 87-10). The Board’s public search works statewide, so a Wilmington roofer working a Raleigh job looks up exactly the same way.
What changes with the city is everything local: permit counters, historic-district reviews and HOA covenants. The permit statute is statewide (G.S. 160D-1110); the people applying it are not.
Wilmington’s houses next to the rest of the state
The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 American Community Survey puts Wilmington’s median year built at 1989, with 8.9% of homes built before 1940 and 32.9% since 2000. Older houses tend to hide more under the shingles — extra layers, tired decking; newer ones bring a wave of first replacements.
| City | Median year built | Built before 1940 | Built before 1980 | Built 2000 or later |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raleigh | 1997 | 2.5% | 23.1% | 45.1% |
| Charlotte | 1995 | 2.5% | 27.9% | 42.6% |
| Greensboro | 1985 | 5.9% | 42.6% | 27.4% |
| Wilmington | 1989 | 8.9% | 38.1% | 32.9% |
| Asheville | 1982 | 18.5% | 47.6% | 30.4% |
