This county gets hit. We're here when it does.
Storm damage roof repair is not theoretical around here. The March 2023 tornado outbreak put an EF3 through the Whiteland and New Whiteland area, an EF2 tore through Bluff Creek between Bargersville and Greenwood that June, and Greenwood has taken hail at or above the one-inch insurance claim threshold in both 2024 and 2025. When that's your zip code's weather history, the question isn't whether your roof will take a hit. It's whether the company you call afterward will still be in town next year.
We will be. We're based in Bargersville, our trucks are on these roads every day, and insurance restoration work is a core part of our business, not a tailgate we set up after a storm and fold before the warranty calls come in.
What hail and wind actually do to a roof
Hail at one inch and up bruises the shingle mat and knocks granules loose. The roof usually doesn't leak that week, which is exactly why people skip the inspection, and why insurers put time limits on claims. The damage shows up as accelerated aging: bald spots, brittle shingles, leaks two winters later, long after the claim window closed. Wind works differently, creasing and lifting tabs along edges and ridges so the next storm can peel them. Both are exactly what we document, shingle by shingle, with close-up photos and drone imagery.
How the claim process works with us
- Free storm inspection. After any serious hail or wind event, we check the roof, gutters, vents, screens, and siding, and tell you honestly whether the damage clears claim territory. If it doesn't, we say so and you've lost nothing.
- Real documentation. Dated photos, drone shots of every slope, and a written damage summary your insurer can't wave away.
- You file, we support. The claim is yours to file with your carrier. We supply the evidence and scope so you're not negotiating empty-handed.
- We meet the adjuster. On your roof, at the appointment, making sure everything damaged makes it into the scope.
- We do the work. Repair or full replacement per the approved scope, built to the same standard as our retail replacements. You typically pay your deductible, and Indiana law is clear that contractors can't legally "eat" it for you.
Storm claim questions, answered first
Weather claims are typically treated as no-fault "acts of God," and when a storm hits a whole area, rates tend to move for everyone whether you filed or not. Your agent can speak to your policy, but skipping a legitimate claim rarely saves you anything.
Most policies allow one to two years from the date of loss, but sooner is dramatically better. Damage is easiest to attribute to a specific storm while the evidence is fresh, and we date-stamp everything we document.
Don't sign anything at the door, especially an "assignment of benefits." Get a second opinion from a local company that will still exist at warranty time. We'll look for free and show you photos of what's actually up there.
