Roofing Contractor in Indianapolis IN. Repairs, Replacements and Storm Damage

Asphalt shingle roofs in Indiana start around $4.40 per square foot, about $8,800 for a 2,000-square-foot roof. Metal starts around $8.53 per square foot, about $17,000 for the same roof (This Old House, updated May 2026). The final number depends on roof size, slope, layers, decking condition and material. We give you the exact price in writing after an inspection.

It depends on the material, the installation and the ventilation. Asphalt roofs commonly last 20 to 30 years and metal roofs often last much longer, but hail and a hot, poorly vented attic can shorten either.

It depends on the cause of damage and your policy. Hail and wind damage are commonly covered, while wear from age usually is not. Your policy decides, and your adjuster makes the call.

Often yes for storm damage, but an older roof may be paid at actual cash value after depreciation instead of full replacement cost.

No. Indiana law bars contractors from offering to pay or rebate part of an insurance deductible.

Look for bruised or dented shingles, missing granules, dents in vents and gutters, and damaged siding. A close inspection tells hail apart from age wear.

It depends on the address and the work. We confirm with the city or your town and tell you in writing before work begins.

Generally a replacement is a home improvement, not a deduction, though some situations differ. Ask a tax professional.

Spring through fall is the main season, and we can work in good winter weather. Schedule when you have a leak or damage, not when the calendar says.

Most asphalt shingle replacements on an average home take one to two days of work. Roof size, weather, decking repairs and extra details like skylights can add time. Metal and complex roofs take longer. We give you a start date in writing.

Yes. We repair leaks, flashing, vents and missing shingles, and we tell you honestly when a repair is enough and a full replacement is not needed.

Building codes limit how many layers a roof can carry, and we recommend a full tear-off. It lets us inspect the deck, replace rotted wood and install new flashing, which a layover hides.

Commonly 20 to 30 years, depending on the shingle, installation, ventilation and weather. Hail, poor ventilation and heavy sun exposure can shorten that.

Wind pushes rain sideways and up under lifted shingles and flashing that normally shed water. Leaks that show up only in wind-driven rain usually point to flashing or loose shingles.

An ice dam is a ridge of ice at the eaves that traps meltwater behind it. The water can soak insulation and walls. The fix is stopping the heat loss that causes it: better attic insulation and ventilation, plus proper ice and water barrier at the eaves.

Common signs are frost on attic nails in winter, a very hot attic in summer, damp insulation, musty smells and ice dams. An attic check during an inspection will tell you.

Yes. We can help you gather material specs and samples for HOA approval or Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission review where it applies. Check approval requirements before ordering materials.

Move cars out of the driveway, clear patio furniture and potted plants from around the house, take fragile items off walls inside since vibration can shake them, and tell us about pets and any access issues.

Not necessarily. We inspect them and replace only if they are damaged or poorly attached. We install new drip edge where needed so water gets into the gutter.
