What's Included in Your New Roof Installation

• Roof deck check first: we inspect the decking for rot, sagging, and moisture before anything goes on top.
• Material guidance: asphalt shingles, metal panels, or tile, matched to your home's pitch, budget, and East Chicago's weather.
• Complete roofing system: underlayment, ice and water barrier where needed, flashing, drip edge, ridge caps, and proper attic ventilation.
• Code-compliant work: installed to local building code and wind requirements so the roof passes inspection.
• Cleanup: debris and nails removed, with a final walkthrough.

Roof Installation vs. Roof Replacement

Installation is for new builds and additions. If you're removing an existing roof, that's a replacement, with tear-off, deck repair, and disposal. See our residential roofing replacement or roof replacement pages. Not sure which one you need? Call (607) 247-9580 and we'll tell you.

Which Roofing Material Is Right for Your Home?

• Asphalt shingles: the most common choice. Lowest upfront cost and a wide range of styles, a good fit for most homes and budgets.
• Metal panels: a strong pick for heavy rain, snow, and long-term value. They usually cost more per square foot than asphalt but last longer.
• Tile: works well in hot climates and for certain home styles. It's heavy, so the structure needs to support it.

In East Chicago, wind, hail, heavy rain, snow, and heat all stress a roof differently. Ask about impact-resistant shingles and extra underlayment. See how we handle storm damage roof repair if damage ever happens.

Get a Roof Inspection Before Installation

A new roof on a damaged deck fails early. A residential roofing inspection finds hidden rot, moisture, and ventilation problems first, so your quote is realistic from the start.

What Affects the Cost of a New Roof?

• Roof size and pitch: steeper roofs need more labor and safety setup.
• Material: metal and tile usually cost two to four times more per square foot than asphalt.
• Layers to remove: each extra layer adds tear-off and disposal cost.
• Complexity: valleys, chimneys, skylights, and dormers add time.
• Deck repairs: only needed if we find damage once the old roofing is off.

Your written estimate lists materials, labor, and timeline. If we find hidden deck damage mid-job, we show you, explain it, and get your approval in writing before any extra work starts.

How Our Installation Process Works

• Inspection and written quote. Materials, timeline, and total cost, clearly listed.
• Choose your roof. We compare options by lifespan, upkeep, and price.

• Installation. Most homes are done in one to three days, weather permitting.
• Final walkthrough. We inspect the roof with you and explain your warranty.

How to Prepare for Roof Installation Day

• Move cars out of the driveway and away from the house.
• Take wall hangings and fragile items off walls, since hammering can cause vibration inside.
• Cover or move items stored in the attic.
• Keep pets and children away from the work area.
• Tell us where you'd like debris and materials staged.

Your Roof Warranty: Two Types to Know

A new roof usually has two separate warranties: one from the manufacturer covering the materials, and one from the contractor covering the workmanship. Always ask for both in writing, including what's covered and for how long. Poor underlayment, weak flashing, and bad ventilation cause most early failures, which is why installation quality matters as much as the shingles.

Protect Your New Roof After Installation

Warranties generally expect regular care. A yearly residential roofing maintenance visit catches loose flashing and clogged valleys early. If a leak appears, our residential roofing repair team can help, and for sudden storm leaks we offer emergency roof repair. Installing new gutters with your roof? Add gutter replacement to the same project so the drip edge and fascia line up.
