Indiana Weather & Your Roof
Indiana averages 20–30 hail events a year. Is your roof ready?
Central Indiana sits in one of the Midwest's most active hail-and-wind corridors (National Weather Service). Knowing the storm calendar helps you catch damage early — before it turns into a leak.
April – June
Peak hail season
Most of Indiana's hail events land in these months. Book a pre-season inspection in March.
July – September
Wind & late-summer storms
High winds and secondary hail lift shingles and tear flashing loose.
October – March
Freeze-thaw & ice dams
Winter is hard on flashing and poorly ventilated attics. Check both before the cold sets in.
After any storm
Free damage inspection
We document every impact for your records and your insurance claim.

Transparent Pricing
What does a new roof cost in Indiana?
Most contractors won't say — so we will. Your exact price depends on size, pitch, materials, and any decking repairs, but here are honest, general ranges to plan around.
Asphalt shingle
≈1,500 sq ft ranch
$7,500 – $12,000
Architectural shingle
≈2,500 sq ft two-story
$12,000 – $18,000
Premium / metal
3,000+ sq ft or upgraded material
$18,000 – $35,000+
General 2026 ranges for planning only — not a quote. If storm damage is covered by insurance, you may pay only your deductible. See our full Indiana roof replacement cost guide for the details.
Compare Indiana roofing materials
| Material | Lifespan | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingles | 20–30 years | Most Indiana homes — the best balance of cost and durability |
| Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles | 20–30 years | Hail-prone areas; may earn an insurance premium discount |
| Standing-seam metal | 40–70 years | Long-term value, sheds snow, energy efficient |

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what Indiana homeowners ask us most. Don't see yours? Just call.
Yes. Every roof inspection and written estimate is free and no-obligation. We climb the roof (or use drone imagery when needed), document the condition with photos, and give you an honest report — whether that points to a simple repair or a full replacement.
We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, carrying both general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Ask for our certificate before any project begins — a legitimate roofer should always provide it, and we're glad to.
We do. After a storm we document every hail hit and wind-damaged shingle, meet your insurance adjuster on the roof, and make sure code-required items like ice-and-water shield and proper ventilation aren't left out of the scope. You handle your deductible; we handle the paperwork.
Most Indiana homes are torn off and re-roofed in one to three days, weather permitting. Larger or steeper roofs can take a bit longer. We give you a firm timeline before we start and keep you updated throughout.
We install asphalt shingles (3-tab, architectural, and impact-resistant Class 4), standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal, flat/low-slope membranes for commercial buildings, and natural slate. During your estimate we'll recommend the best fit for your home and Indiana's weather.
Yes. If a tree limb, wind, or a sudden leak leaves your home exposed, call us any time. We prioritize emergencies with rapid tarping and board-up to stop interior damage, then schedule permanent repairs.
Yes — our team serves customers in both English and Spanish, so every homeowner fully understands their options, scope of work, and warranty before signing anything.
Guardian Roofing is based in Ingalls and serves Central & East-Central Indiana — including Indianapolis, Hamilton County, Madison County, and communities across Indiana. If you're not sure whether you're in our service area, just call (209) 758-8550.
Our installation crews are our own in-house team — not day-labor subcontractors hired job to job. That's how we keep quality consistent and stay accountable for every roof we put on.
Yes. We pull the required local building permits and schedule the inspections, then give you a copy of the permit and the final sign-off for your records and any future home sale.
You get our written workmanship warranty on the installation plus the manufacturer's material warranty on your shingles or metal. We explain both in plain English during your free estimate so there are no surprises.
