Indiana sees 20–30 significant hail events a year. We document the damage, work your insurance claim, and restore your roof to better-than-before.
When a hailstorm or a line of high winds moves across your town, the damage to your roof is not always something you can see from the driveway. Guardian Roofing has helped Indiana homeowners recover from storms for over 25 years, documenting the damage, working directly with insurance adjusters, and restoring roofs to better-than-before condition. The sooner we look, the more options you have.
Indiana sits squarely in hail country. The National Weather Service records roughly 20 to 30 significant hail events across the state in a typical year, and the peak season from April through July lines up with the storms that spawn damaging straight-line winds. A single bad afternoon can bruise thousands of shingles at once.
Hail damage is deceptive because it often does its work invisibly. A hailstone knocks the protective granules off a shingle and bruises the mat underneath, which does not leak today but ages and fails years faster than it should. Wind does the opposite, breaking the adhesive seal or tearing shingles off outright and leaving the underlayment exposed to the next rain. Both kinds of damage get worse with every storm that follows, which is why a prompt inspection matters so much.
Storm work attracts out-of-town chasers who blow into a county after a big storm, sign up as many roofs as they can, and disappear before the warranty is ever tested. Guardian is the opposite of that. We have been based in Ingalls and rooted in this community for more than 25 years, and we will be here long after your roof is finished.
We document damage thoroughly with both drone imagery and hands-on roof inspection, so what we submit lines up with what adjusters expect to see. Our crews are in-house, licensed, bonded, and insured, and our bilingual English and Spanish team makes sure nothing gets lost in translation during a stressful time. We can also tarp a compromised roof immediately to stop further damage, then clean up completely once the restoration is done.
A storm claim has two halves: proving the damage and repairing it correctly. On the first half, we give you a free, detailed inspection with photos you can keep, whether or not you end up filing. If you do file, we can meet your adjuster on the roof and make sure legitimate hail hits, wind damage, and code-required items are all captured, then handle the roof insurance claim side so you are not negotiating alone.
On the repair half, the right fix depends on how far the damage spread. Isolated wind damage may only need targeted work, while widespread hail bruising usually calls for a full roof replacement to restore the roof's full life and warranty. If your roof is actively leaking after the storm, our emergency roof repair team can secure it right away.
Timing matters more than most homeowners realize. The longer damaged shingles sit exposed, the more small leaks widen and the harder it becomes to tie the damage to a specific storm. Acting promptly keeps your roof watertight and your documentation clean, and it often means we can complete the whole restoration before the next round of Indiana weather arrives.
To know what you are looking at, our guide to a hail damage roof inspection explains what we check for, and the walkthrough on what to do after roof storm damage is a useful first read while the event is still fresh.
When a storm cell tracks through east-central Indiana, we mobilize quickly for the towns in its path, from hard-hit neighborhoods in Greenfield to homes across Noblesville. Fast, accurate documentation right after the storm is what protects both your roof and your claim.

Hail leaves dark, soft impact marks where granules are knocked away, exposing the mat underneath.
A sudden surge of granules after a storm is a classic sign of hail impact across the field of the roof.
Metal accessories show hail and wind damage clearly — a strong indicator the shingles took hits too.
High winds break the seal on shingles or tear them off entirely, leaving your roof vulnerable.
If your roof is compromised, we secure it immediately to prevent more water from getting inside.
Using drone imagery and on-roof inspection, we document every impact point, missing shingle, and damaged accessory.
You get a detailed photo report and scope that lines up with what adjusters expect to see.
We walk the roof with your adjuster to make sure all damage and code items are captured in the claim.
From targeted repairs to a complete replacement, we restore your roof and clean up thoroughly.
Every roof is different, so we never quote a real price without seeing yours. These are the factors that shape your estimate.
For approved claims, your out-of-pocket cost is typically just your deductible — we help maximize the covered scope.
Spot repairs cost less than full replacements; the adjuster's approved scope drives the difference.
Items like ice-and-water shield or ventilation may be required by code and can be covered when documented.
Replacing damaged gutters, vents, and flashing alongside shingles affects the total.
