# Indianapolis Roofing

> Indianapolis roofs face ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles and straight-line wind. A January 2005 ice storm knocked out power to as many as 150,000 homes in the state, according to the National Weather Service's Indianapolis office, and the August 10, 2020 derecho brought wind damage across central Indiana. Marion County covers older neighborhoods such as Irvington and Broad Ripple, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway town of Speedway, and suburbs such as Carmel, Fishers and Greenwood. We help with inspections, repairs, replacements and damage records for insurance claims. Your insurer and your policy decide what is covered. Phones are answered 24/7.

## Pricing and answers

- [Price guide](https://indianapolisroofing.shop/pricing/): typical price ranges for every service
- [FAQ](https://indianapolisroofing.shop/faq/)
- [What should you do about an ice dam on an Indianapolis roof?](https://indianapolisroofing.shop/guides/ice-dam-roof-what-to-do-indianapolis/): When an ice dam forms on an Indianapolis roof, keep people away from the eave, protect the rooms below from water, and find where the water is getting in before anything is chipped or heated. The cause is usually warm air leaking into the attic and melting the snow above it, so the attic is the first place to look. A written record of the dam and the attic findings is what makes the repair stick.
- [When do freeze-thaw and storm seasons hit Indianapolis roofs?](https://indianapolisroofing.shop/guides/freeze-thaw-season-indianapolis-calendar/): Indianapolis roofs are tested in two seasons. Ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles work the roof through the winter, and straight-line wind and hail take over in spring and summer. The sources for this guide describe those two patterns but do not give a monthly calendar for Marion County, so the calendar below is a checklist for the year rather than a forecast.
- [What did the 2020 derecho do to Indianapolis roofs?](https://indianapolisroofing.shop/guides/derecho-storm-roof-damage-indianapolis/): The 10 August 2020 derecho brought widespread wind damage across central Indiana, with trees and power lines down, according to the National Weather Service's Indianapolis office. Roofs in the metro were struck by wind, limbs and debris. The sources for this guide describe the event at the regional level and do not give a damage count for Marion County, so the roof record for each address is what matters.
- [Does homeowners insurance cover ice and wind roof damage in Indiana?](https://indianapolisroofing.shop/guides/roof-insurance-claims-indiana/): An Indiana homeowners policy generally responds to sudden damage to a roof from wind and similar events, and generally excludes wear, neglect and damage that builds up over time. Ice damage is treated under the same kind of test: a sudden event or a gradual one. Which damage a particular policy covers, and what it pays, depends on the policy and on the insurer. The Indiana Department of Insurance handles consumer complaints about insurers.
- [Should you repair or replace a roof in Indianapolis?](https://indianapolisroofing.shop/guides/roof-repair-or-replace-indianapolis/): A repair is usually the right answer when the damage is local and the decking and framing are sound. A replacement is usually the right answer when the damage is spread across most slopes, the decking is soft, or the eave has failed in several winters. The inspection, the ice and storm record for the address and the repair history decide which applies.
- [What should an Indianapolis roof inspection check?](https://indianapolisroofing.shop/guides/indianapolis-roof-inspection-checklist/): A thorough Indianapolis roof inspection checks the attic, the decking, the eave and ice-dam line, the shingles or covering, the flashing and the gutters, and it records the storm and ice record for the address. Each item is checked in a set order so the findings can be compared with the last record and with the storm. The checklist below helps a homeowner prepare for a visit and read the report that follows.
- [Who handles permits and paperwork for a roof job in Indianapolis?](https://indianapolisroofing.shop/guides/indianapolis-roof-permits-and-paperwork/): The independent local company that does the roof work answers for the permits, registrations and insurance its job requires. Secondary sources report that Indiana does not license roofing contractors at the state level, and that the city's contractor licensing and permit work sits with a city office. The sources for this guide did not confirm the city office's name or its rules on an official page, so the homeowner should ask the company and check the official pages directly.
- [How do you care for an older roof in Broad Ripple or Irvington?](https://indianapolisroofing.shop/guides/caring-for-older-roofs-broad-ripple-irvington/): Caring for an older roof in Broad Ripple or Irvington starts with the attic: its framing, its ventilation and the warm air that feeds the ice dams at the eave. Broad Ripple's older houses are mostly from the early 20th century, and Irvington is an east-side neighborhood in ZIP 46219 whose houses are checked on the same attic-first basis. The repair keeps the outline of the house where it can, and the record notes what the winters and storms have done.
