Roofing contractor in Greenwood, IN

Steep-pitch roofs in Old Town Greenwood often have plank decking underneath the shingles rather than modern plywood sheathing. Plank decking can have gaps between boards and soft spots where moisture has worked in over the decades. A proper inspection checks the deck condition before any new shingles are installed, so the finished roof has a solid base.

Original vinyl siding from the 1980s that is cracking at seams, showing significant fading, or has panels that have shifted out of alignment has usually reached the end of its useful life. Spot repairs on panels this old rarely match in color and do not address the underlying issue of panels that have become brittle after decades of Indiana freeze-thaw cycles. Full replacement closes the envelope and stops moisture from working behind the siding.

From the ground, check gutters and downspouts for dents, look for siding panels that appear cracked or displaced, and look for shingle debris or granules near downspout outlets. Actual shingle impact damage and flashing issues are difficult to see from the ground, so a professional inspection after any significant hail event gives you the full picture before filing an insurance claim.

Gutter sizing depends on the roof area draining into each run and the pitch of the gutter itself. Greenwood's heavy spring rain events can overwhelm undersized gutters quickly, sending water over the edge and down siding or pooling at the foundation. We size each gutter run based on the actual roof area it serves, not a one-size standard.
