Complete tear-off
We strip the roof to bare decking, inspect every board, and replace any soft or rotted sections before anything new goes on. No shortcuts that come back to haunt you later.

Roof Replacement in Columbus, Indiana
When a repair no longer makes sense, we replace your roof with quality materials and careful workmanship, then clean up so thoroughly you would never know we were there.
Call (812) 408-1719A roof reaches a point where repairs become a recurring expense that adds up faster than a full replacement would. That crossover depends on the age of the roof, how widespread the damage is, and whether the decking underneath is still sound. We give you an honest read on where your roof stands, with photos and a written estimate, so you can make an informed decision rather than a pressured one.
For most Columbus-area homes, a full replacement means tearing off the existing shingles down to the decking, inspecting and replacing any deteriorated boards, and installing new underlayment and architectural-asphalt shingles. Overlays, where a second layer goes on top of the old one, can save money upfront but shorten the life of the new roof and mask decking problems. We talk through both options and tell you which one we would do if it were our own home.
What's included
Quality architectural shingles
Architectural asphalt shingles handle Indiana freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity better than three-tab alternatives. We use products rated for the wind speeds common to Bartholomew County.
Flashing and ventilation check
New shingles are only part of the job. We replace or re-flash around chimneys, pipes, and skylights, and verify the attic ventilation is balanced so moisture does not undermine the new roof.
Cleanup and magnetic nail sweep
A full-day job leaves debris. We haul off all old material, do a magnetic nail sweep of the yard and driveway, and leave the property cleaner than we found it.
How it works
- 1
Inspection and estimate
We walk the roof, photograph the decking, flashing, and shingles, and bring the findings down to you. The written estimate breaks out materials, labor, and disposal separately so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Scheduled installation
We schedule around the Columbus weather forecast when we can, protect landscaping and windows before we start, and keep a clean worksite throughout the job.

Final walkthrough
Before we leave we walk the perimeter with you, confirm the gutters are clear of debris, and answer any questions about what was done and what to expect from the new roof going forward.
In Columbus & Bartholomew County
Columbus and Bartholomew County get a real mix of weather: hard freezes from November through March, occasional ice damming, summer humidity that accelerates shingle granule loss, and spring hail that can punch through a roof already weakened by age. A replacement done right accounts for all of that, with the right underlayment for ice protection and shingles rated for the wind loads this area sees.
Most Columbus homes are in the 1,500 to 2,500 square foot range, which puts a typical replacement job at one or two days of work. We aim to have the roof fully closed at the end of each day so you are not exposed overnight.
Questions about roof replacement
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes in the Columbus area take one full day of installation. Larger roofs, steep pitches, or significant decking repairs can stretch to two days. We give you a realistic timeline in the estimate so you can plan accordingly.
Will my homeowners insurance cover a replacement?
Insurance covers damage from sudden events like hail or wind, not wear from age. If storm damage is part of the reason for replacement, we can document the damage thoroughly so you have what you need when you talk to your adjuster. We do not make insurance promises, but we do make sure the paperwork reflects what we actually found.
What kind of warranty comes with a replacement?
Shingle manufacturers offer material warranties that vary by product, typically 25 to 50 years. We stand behind our workmanship separately. We go over both at the estimate stage so you understand what is covered, by whom, and for how long.
