Roofing in Indiana

Indiana sits in the middle of the country, where the hail corridor, the lake-effect snow, and the hot humid summers test every roof. The spring storms bring the hail, the winters pile on the snow and the ice dams, and the humidity feeds the algae on the shaded slopes. Roofing in Indiana means building roofs for the hail, the snow, and the storms — and we do it in 42 cities across the state.

The Roofing Regions of Indiana

The state splits into several roofing climates, and the roofs need to match each one.

The Northwest Indiana cities — Gary, Hammond, Merrillville, Crown Point, and the Chicago suburbs — face the lake-effect snow and the colder winters. The snow piles on the roofs and the ice dams form at the eaves.

The northern and central cities — Elkhart, Mishawaka, Lafayette, Kokomo, and Muncie — face the hail and the spring storms. The impact-rated shingles handle the hail the best.

The southern cities — Bloomington, Columbus, Jeffersonville, and the Ohio River towns — face the hail, the humid summers, and the occasional ice storms.

Indiana Roofing Considerations

The hail is the dominant force across the state. The spring and summer storms drop the hail that bruises the shingle mats and knocks the granules loose. The post-storm inspection and the insurance claim are the standard practice.

The lake-effect snow hits the Northwest Indiana cities. The heavy snow piles on the roofs and the attic heat melts it unevenly. The ice dams form at the cold eaves and the water backs up under the shingles.

The freeze-thaw cycles stress the flashing and the seals. The temperature swings through the winter open the gaps that the spring rain finds.

Roofing in Indiana’s Top Cities

• Northwest Indiana — Gary, Hammond, Merrillville, Crown Point, and the Chicago suburbs face the lake-effect snow and the cold winters.

From the lake-effect snow of the northwest to the Ohio River, Indiana roofs face the hail, the snow, and the freeze-thaw cycles. The impact-rated shingles, the ice-and-water shield, and the right installation make the difference between the 15-year roof and the 30-year roof.
