Roof Replacement in Indianapolis
A full tear-off replacement done right: decking inspected and repaired, modern underlayment and ventilation, and a fixed price agreed before the first shingle comes off.
Typical Indy-metro range: $9,000 to $20,000. See the full cost guide.
Know When It’s Time, and What You’re Getting
Most asphalt roofs in central Indiana last 20–25 years. If yours is curling at the edges, shedding granules into the gutters, or leaking in more than one spot, patching it is throwing good money after bad. Our free inspection tells you honestly which side of that line you’re on, with photos, not pressure.
When it is time, we replace the whole system, not just the shingles: ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, drip edge, and ridge ventilation matched to your attic. That’s the difference between a roof that hits its rated life and one that fails at year twelve.
What Every Checkered Flag Replacement Includes
No good-better-best games. This is the baseline spec on every roof we replace. The corners other bids cut are usually hiding in here.
- Full tear-off to the deck. No roofing over old shingles. We strip to bare wood so nothing is hidden.
- Deck inspection & repair. Rotten or delaminated sheets replaced at a per-sheet price agreed in your contract.
- Ice & water shield. Self-sealing membrane at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, which is where Indiana roofs actually leak.
- Synthetic underlayment. Tear-resistant and watertight, not 15 lb felt.
- New flashing & drip edge. Chimneys, walls, and edges re-flashed in metal. We never reuse old flashing.
- Ridge ventilation. Balanced intake and exhaust so heat and moisture don’t cook your shingles from below.
Three Ways to Replace a Roof
Architectural Shingles
The value pick for most homes: 25–30 year life, dimensional look, huge color range, and the fastest install at the lowest cost.
Impact-Rated Shingles
Class 4 impact resistance for hail country. Costs roughly 10–20% more than standard architectural, and many Indiana insurers discount premiums for it.
Standing Seam Metal
Two to three times the upfront cost, 50+ years of life, and the best wind, hail, and snow performance available. See our metal roofing page for details.
