Roofing in Speedway, Indiana

Careful Roofing for a Century-Old Company Town

The original plat of Speedway, the streets between Main Street and the Motor Speedway, is mostly one-story bungalows and workers’ houses built in the 1920s, with later waves of post-war homes filling in around them. The historic core was added to the National Register in 2005, and homes of that era come with quirks you don’t find in a 2005 subdivision: old plank decking, original brick chimneys, knob-and-tube wiring poking through attic floors, and sometimes a third layer of shingles hiding a soft spot nobody mentioned at closing.

That’s why we don’t quote Speedway roofs from the street. We get into the attic, count the layers, check the decking from below, and photograph everything we find. If your 1926 bungalow has board decking with gaps too wide for modern shingles, you’ll know before we sign anything, and the repair will be a line item on the quote, not a surprise change order on day two. We tear off to the deck on every job and price what we find honestly.

Speedway stayed an excluded town when Unigov consolidated the rest of Marion County, so it issues its own construction permits. A reroof here needs a structural permit from the town, not from Indianapolis, and we pull it ourselves as part of the job. That sounds like a small thing until you hire a contractor who doesn’t know it and your project stalls while paperwork gets sorted.

We also know the practical side of working in this town: race-month street logistics, tight lots near Main Street, and neighbors close enough to count the nails we drop. Our crews magnet-sweep yards, keep dumpsters off the street where the town wants them, and finish the job they start instead of disappearing to chase the next storm. You get a free inspection, photo documentation, and a fixed price that’s good for 60 days.
