The Services We Provide

Whether you need repairs or a replacement, we are a full-service company that provides commercial and residential roofing solutions for everyone in Indianapolis. The following are some of the services we provide.

Roofing Repairs

If your roof has suffered storm damage or any other kind of environmental harm, then we can perform the necessary repairs. We can replace shingles, fix flashing, repair leaks, and fix your roofing siding gutters. At Universal Roofing & Exteriors, we can perform these services for commercial buildings and residential buildings.

Roof Replacement

There will be cases where people will need to have a brand new roof installation when repairs are not enough. When that happens, our Indianapolis roofing experts can perform that service for you. We can also recommend various roofing materials for you to choose from, each of which has different practical and aesthetic qualities that our roofers can inform you about. The following are some of the roofing materials available for residential and commercial buildings:

Asphalt Shingle – Asphalt shingle is a popular roofing material because it is affordable, durable, and long-lasting. It is not the strongest material but it can last for about two decades and is easy to install, maintain, and fix since broken shingles can be easily replaced.
Metal – Metal roofs are becoming a popular option because they are extremely durable and attractive to look at. Plus, they are energy-efficient and will save you money in the long run. However, they are expensive, and installation is more difficult than other materials.
Tile – Tile is a great roofing option because it comes in a variety of different materials like clay, slate, and concrete that are available in a plethora of different colors. They are attractive and extremely durable since they can last up to a century. Plus, they are energy efficient, will not decay, and are very easy to maintain. But they can be quite expensive, are very heavy, and installation can take longer than with other materials.

Of course, the materials we use are the very best, such as Owens Corning and other top brands. No matter what material you choose, you can be assured that it will be the very best in its class and that it will be professionally and efficiently installed.

Siding Gutters

We don’t neglect the roofing, siding, or gutters when we work on a home because we know how important they are to the integrity of the home. Siding can make your house look better, but it can also provide extra protection as well if you get siding that is water-resistant since Indiana tends to get a lot of rain. We offer different siding materials, including fiber cement, wood, and vinyl, all of which are capable of withstanding any type of weather Indiana can throw at them. The gutters help to prevent water damage that can rot or deteriorate shingles and even damage the foundation of the house.

Insulation

Insulation is extremely important in Indianapolis because it helps to regulate the temperature in the home so that people won’t melt in the summer and freeze in the winter. We can send a contractor to install insulation in your home that can make it more comfortable and can even reduce your electricity bills. As with our roofing materials, we use only the highest quality insulation from Owens Corning and other top companies.

How To Know When You Need Roof Repair

There are many clear signs that a roof needs to be repaired or replaced. If you know what to look for, then you can implement the necessary repairs or replacement before the roof gets too damaged and starts to compromise the interior of the house.

You Can See The Damage To The Roof

If the roof is visibly damaged, then that is a sure sign that you should consult a roofing contractor to perform an inspection. Signs of roofing damage include missing or curling shingles and damaged flashing, which is necessary for preventing moisture from collecting in the roof joints. In Indianapolis, the varying weather patterns are usually responsible for roofing problems as the wind, ice, snow, and rain can cause serious damage to the roof tiles. When you notice signs that your roof might be damaged, you should contact a roofing contractor to perform an inspection and evaluate whether you need to repair the roof or replace it altogether.

Ice Dams Form In The Winter

The icicles that form along the edges of roofs in the Indianapolis winter might be picturesque, but they are also a sign of danger. The formation of those icicles could be a sign of poor ventilation in the attic. Furthermore, the weight of those ice dams puts a strain on the roof, which could cause even more problems.

The Walls And/Or Ceilings Get Stained

A leaking roof could cause discolorations and stains on the walls and ceiling inside of the house. Those stains are most likely the result of water damage and are a sign that there could be a roof leak. If you check the insulation in the attic and notice that it is soggy, then that is a sign that there is a leak and that you might need a new roof or a roof replacement.

Pests Start To Accumulate

The presence of a squirrel or raccoon in the house can be startling to most homeowners, especially if they have no idea how it got inside. If the doors are locked, and the house is otherwise secure, then there is a good chance that they are entering the home through a hole in the roof. If you do not notice any visible holes, then it could be located in a place that you cannot see, in which case you should contact an Indianapolis roofing contractor. They will be able to locate the hole and determine whether it can be repaired or if you will need a roof replacement.

The Roof is Close To The End Of Its Life

Most roofs have a limited lifespan, and that lifespan depends on what the roof is made of. Asphalt shingle roofs last for about fifteen years, while tile roofs can last from fifty to a hundred years. While some roofing materials can outlast the rest of the house, many roofing types will need to be replaced at some time while the occupants are living there. If the house was not brand new when the owner moved in, then they need to find out when it was built and if the roof was ever replaced. Once they know how old the roof is and what material it is composed of, they will be able to figure out its lifespan and whether or not it needs to be replaced.

You Received a Professional Assessment from Roofing Contractors

The best way to find out if you need a new roof or you should repair your current roof is to contact a roofing contractor. Roofers in Indianapolis are well aware of the havoc that the weather can wreak on the roofs in the state. Storm damage and hail damage are common, but they do not treat all roofs equally. Experienced Indianapolis roofing contractors can perform an evaluation to determine if repair services are a viable option or if a replacement is needed instead. If you are unsure about the state of your roof, then you should call us at Universal Roofing & Exteriors so that we can send a roofing contractor to examine your roof and find out what needs to be done to protect the sanctity of your home.

How To Choose The Right Indianapolis Roofing Contractor

Before you decide what to do with your roof, you need to contact the right roofing company. What makes the right company? It is a full-service company that has experienced roofing contractors who will perform an honest evaluation. It is a company that will finish the roofing services on-time and will do a great job that lasts for a long time. Universal Roofing & Exteriors meets all of those standards and then some, but we also have the following qualities that you should look out for in a roofing company.

The Company is Licensed, Bonded, and Insured

People might not know what these terms mean in the context of the roofing industry, so here is a quick breakdown:

Licensed - Being licensed means that a company has all of the license requirements, necessary competence, and the right to conduct its business.
Bonded - This means that the business has purchased a surety bond, which protects third parties from any losses that could be caused by failures of the hired company, such as theft, incomplete work, property damage, and more.
Insured - This means that the company has purchased insurance policies that the business needs. This includes Workers’ Compensation and Commercial General Liability Insurance.

They Are Locally Owned and Operated

It makes perfect sense to get your roofing repair services from a local company for many different reasons. A local company can send roofing contractors to your location quickly, you can learn about the company from others who have used their residential or commercial roofing services, and you are easily able to get in touch with them.

Their Price is Right

The right price for a roofing project is likely to be subjective, but in general, the price should neither be too high or too low. If the estimates are too low, then it is likely that they are too good to be true, and you will end up with shoddy workmanship. That could end up costing you more in the long run since that means you would have to hire new contractors to do the project properly. You should look around to find out the average cost of your roofing project before settling on any particular company. That way, you will know what the estimates for the project should be.

They Are Highly Rated

If you want to hire the best roofing contractors, then you should check out how they are rated both by regular people as well as with experts. You can speak to people who have worked with the company to find out what their experience was like, the kind of job they did, and so on. You can also check sites like Yelp, where users leave reviews to learn more about the company. At Universal Roofing & Exteriors, we are highly rated by the Indianapolis residents who have used our commercial and residential roofing services; we have also received the Angi (formerly known as Angie’s List) Super Service Award, which is additional proof that we are dedicated to providing the best roofing service for our customers.
