Choosing a Roofing Company: Guides

Choosing a roofer is harder than choosing a roof, and the consequences last longer. The material is largely commodity; the installation is not.

This section is about telling a real contractor from a convincing one. What licensing and insurance you should verify and how to actually check them rather than take a word for it. Why the cheapest quote is often the most expensive outcome, and what is usually missing from it — underlayment, starter strip, ridge cap, decking replacement, disposal. What a manufacturer certification means and what it does not.

It also covers storm-chasing crews, which appear in Indiana neighbourhoods within days of hail and are gone before the workmanship warranty matters, and the specific questions that tend to separate them from local companies who will still be here.

We are an Indianapolis company and plainly not neutral on this. But the checks described here apply to any contractor you consider, including us, and we would rather you ran them.
