Roof replacement · Indianapolis, IN
When it's time, replace the whole system — once, and right.
A roof replacement done well is decking verified, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and shingles installed to work together — with a clear written scope before work starts. We recommend replacement only after a real on-site inspection, because that's the only honest way to know.
What we look for
Roofs rarely fail in the middle of a shingle field. The weak spots are the details: caps, flashing, boots, fasteners, and edges. Select a numbered point to inspect it up close and see what our inspection checks there.
Shingles vs. a complete system
New shingles nailed over old problems is how leaks come back in two years. A real replacement removes the old roof down to the deck, verifies the wood underneath, and rebuilds every layer — underlayment, water-protection membrane where it's needed, edge metal, flashing at every wall and pipe, balanced ventilation, and shingles installed to the manufacturer's exact instructions.
Why the inspection comes first
Nobody can honestly price a roof from the street — and nobody should tell you it needs replacing from a photo. We measure the roof, count every penetration, check flashing and ventilation, look for soft decking, and photograph what we find. Your recommendation comes from that evidence, and you see it too.
What affects your project
Every roof is different. The real variables: roof size and complexity (hips, valleys, pitch), decking condition, how many layers come off, flashing and chimney details, ventilation corrections, penetrations, access for tear-off and disposal, permits, and the shingle line you choose. A good proposal accounts for all of them up front.
Your written proposal spells it all out
Before you decide anything, you get one clear document that covers:
The exact scope
What's being replaced, the products going on (shingle line, color, wind rating), and where each system component applies.
Assumptions & exclusions
What the price assumes (like one existing layer) and what's deliberately outside the scope — written down so there's no ambiguity later.
Hidden-condition handling
How decking damage or other tear-off discoveries are documented, priced, and approved by you in writing before work continues.
Price, schedule & permits
One complete price, a realistic schedule window with its honest conditions (weather, materials), and who handles required permits.
Cleanup & quality checks
What "finished" means: documented quality checks during installation, full debris removal, magnetic nail sweep, and a walkthrough with you.
Warranty information
How workmanship and manufacturer warranty details are provided in your project documents at closeout.
What to expect, start to finish
BEFORE
Inspection, written proposal, your questions answered, materials ordered, schedule confirmed, and your prep list (cars out of the driveway, fragile items off shelves — hammering vibrates the house).
DURING
Property protection goes down first. Tear-off, decking check (with photos if anything needs your approval), then the system goes on in the right order. Most replacements take one to a few days depending on size, complexity, and weather.
AFTER
Complete cleanup and magnetic sweep, a final quality review, a walkthrough with you, and your project documents — including warranty information — in hand.
