Insurance. Hail and wind claims are routine. Ask whether the contractor will provide a detailed estimate and attend the adjuster meeting.

- Where is your office, and how long have you been at that address?
- Will you replace the decking if it is soft, and at what price per sheet?
- Is ice-and-water shield included at eaves and valleys?
- Can I see the certificate of insurance sent directly from your insurer?
- Who is on site every day, and is the crew employed or subcontracted?
Indianapolis roofing questions
How much does a new roof cost in Indianapolis?
It depends on the roof's size, pitch, number of layers to remove, decking condition and the material you choose. In Indianapolis, architectural asphalt shingles are the most common replacement, with Class 4 impact-rated shingles as the step-up option. Get at least two itemized written estimates from the contractors on this page; a serious estimate lists the underlayment, flashing, ventilation and decking price per sheet, not just a lump sum.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Indianapolis?
In most of Marion County a full replacement requires a building permit and at least one inspection; small repairs often do not. The contractor should pull the permit in their name. If a roofer asks you to pull it as the homeowner, treat that as a warning sign about their license or insurance.

Will insurance cover my roof in Indianapolis?
Hail and wind claims are routine. Ask whether the contractor will provide a detailed estimate and attend the adjuster meeting. Document everything with photos before any work starts, and never sign an assignment of benefits or a contract contingent on an insurance approval without reading it.
How do I check a Indianapolis roofer's license and insurance?
Ask for the certificate of insurance directly from the insurer, not a copy from the contractor, and confirm it lists both general liability and workers' compensation. Indiana does not issue a statewide roofing license, so check local registration, years at the same address and recent references instead.
