Storms we have worked behind
Central Indiana gets hit often enough that storm work is a steady part of what we do. The National Weather Service office in Indianapolis posted summaries for 7 severe events in 2023, 9 in 2024, 12 in 2025 and 14 so far in 2026. Two stand out on the south side and in Johnson County.
June 25, 2023. Hail estimated at 1.5 inches fell near Southport and near New Whiteland, and an EF-2 tornado with peak winds around 115 mph crossed near Bargersville. The Weather Service survey noted substantial roof damage in the Kensington Grove subdivision off Stones Crossing Road. Days like that fill our phone for weeks.
March 13, 2026. No thunderstorm at all. Wind gusts reached 62 mph at Indianapolis International Airport, and the Weather Service logged shingles blown off homes and an apartment building across Marion County. Wind damage does not always look dramatic from the street. A lifted tab that has lost its seal leaks the next time it rains.
What to do in the first 24 hours
- Get people and cars clear of anything hanging, and stay off the roof. Wet shingles and loose debris are how people get hurt after a storm.
- Take your own photos from the ground: the roof, the gutters, the siding on the side the storm came from, and anything inside that got wet.
- Call us if water is getting in. We answer storm calls 24/7 and tarp the open area so the damage stops spreading while the claim gets sorted out.
- Call your insurance company to open the claim. They will send an adjuster. It helps to have our inspection done by then.
How we help with the insurance claim
We are roofers, not your insurance agent, and we cannot promise what a policy covers. What we can do is make sure the damage is found and written down clearly, which is where many claims go wrong.
| Step | What we do |
|---|---|
| Inspection | We get on the roof and check every slope, the ridge, vents, flashing and gutters, then the siding and window trim on the storm side of the house. |
| Photos | Bruised or cracked shingles, missing tabs, dented vents and gutters, split siding. Each photo shows where on the house it was taken. |
| Written report | A written estimate of what the storm damaged and what it takes to repair it, for you to hand your insurance company. |
| Adjuster visit | If you want us there, we meet the adjuster at the house and walk the roof with them. |
| The repair | Once the claim is settled, we schedule the work: a repair, a full roof replacement, new siding or gutters, under one crew. |
Hail marks the whole outside of a house
A storm that bruises shingles usually dents aluminum gutters and downspouts, cracks older vinyl siding, and chips window trim on the same side of the house. Those items belong on the same claim, and they are easy to miss if only the roof gets looked at. Because we do roofing, siding, gutters and windows, we inspect all of it in one visit.
We have been working south-side and Johnson County houses since 1995, with more than 3,000 projects completed and an A+ with the Better Business Bureau since 2010. Seniors, veterans and people with disabilities get 10% off.
Storm questions
That depends on your policy and on what the adjuster finds, so nobody can promise it up front. Our job is to make sure every piece of real storm damage is found, photographed and written up so the adjuster sees it.
If water is coming in, call us first so we can stop it. Otherwise open the claim with your insurer and book our inspection right away, so our report is ready by the time the adjuster arrives.
Often you cannot tell from the ground. Dented gutters, downspouts and vent caps are a good clue that the shingles took hits too. The inspection is free, so it costs nothing to have us look.
Yes. Storm damage calls are answered 24/7. Regular office hours are Monday to Friday 8 am to 8 pm and Saturday 9 am to 4 pm.
