Shingle Roofing in Avon
Architectural shingles installed the way Avon’s exposure demands: six nails, adhesive starters, sealed ridges. The same shingle is rated for 130 mph or 60 depending on who fastens it.
In Avon, the Fastening Is the Product
Here’s the detail that matters most on an Avon shingle roof: the wind rating printed on the wrapper is conditional. The same architectural shingle rated for 130 mph with six properly placed nails performs dramatically worse with four placed badly, and on lots taking unbroken wind off the farmland west of town, that gap is the whole game. Our Avon installs get six-nail fastening, adhesive starter strips at the eaves and rakes where peel-up begins, and hand-sealed ridge caps as standard.
Timing matters here too. The subdivisions along US 36 and Dan Jones Road roofed in the same few years, so original builder shingles, often four-nailed and minimally edged, are aging out street by street. If yours went on in 2004, this is the decade it comes off; the question is whether it comes off on your schedule or the wind’s.
Shingle Work, the Avon Version
Details that shape an Avon shingle quote.
- Six-nail fastening standard. The full manufacturer high-wind pattern on every shingle. It’s the line item builder crews skipped in 2004.
- Adhesive starter at eaves and rakes. Wind failure starts at the edges, and bonded starter courses are the cheapest wind insurance a roof can carry.
- Wind-crease inspection included. Before quoting, we hand-lift windward slopes to find creasing. Sometimes the answer is an insurance scope, not a cash replacement.
- Class 4 worth a look here too. Hendricks County gets hail along with its wind. Impact-rated shingles add 10 to 20% and many Indiana insurers discount premiums for them.
