Roofs in Wilkins and Rob Roy
Wilkins and Rob Roy sit across the Arkansas River from Pine Bluff, near Wilkins Lake, Brean Lake and the river levee, along roads like Wilkins Road, Emmett Sanders Road and Louis L Ramsay Road, with the Island Harbor Estates neighborhood nearby. In the Census tract that covers this side of the river, about 21% of homes are mobile homes, most are owner-occupied, and the median home was built in 1979 (US Census ACS 2024).
Being near the river means open, flat land and wind with nothing in its way. The river also flooded in 2015 and 2019, when high water closed roads and flooded homes around the Swan Lake area (NOAA). Roofs here need to handle wind-driven rain, and older farmhouses often have metal or original shingle roofs with decades of patches.

Planning a visit across the river
Because of the river crossing, the drive from our office is about 30 minutes. Text a photo of the leak and the roof when you call, so we can bring the right materials and fix it on the first trip. For small leaks, a clear photo often lets us give you a price range before we even arrive.
Roofs near the river
Open land along the river means roofs here take wind from every direction, and storms can arrive fast. Farmhouses in the area often have metal roofs, some decades old, and mobile homes are common. The most common leaks we see are worn screws on metal roofs, failed seams on mobile home roofs, and flashing where porches and additions meet the house. Because it is a longer drive for us, we try to check everything on the first trip: the home, porches, carports and outbuildings, so you are not waiting on a second visit.
After river flooding, check the roof as well as the house. Wind and rain from the same storms often loosen shingles and flashing, and it is easy to miss while dealing with water on the ground.
