  • Roof Replacement in Fort WayneA tear-off is the only affordable hour a house ever gets. The deck is open, the fascia is exposed, and the downspout outlets are unhooked.
  • Roof Leak Repair in Fort WaynePlenty of Fort Wayne leaks are not roof leaks. Water shows on a bedroom ceiling, the shingles above it are fine, and the actual failure is a trough that overflows and drives water backward over the fascia into the cornice.
  • Storm Damage Restoration in Fort WayneThe storms that damage roofs in Fort Wayne are the same storms that push the sewers past capacity. That matters, because a house can take water from above and from below in one night, and the two are paid for by different parts of your policy.
  • Hail Damage Roofing in Fort WayneAllen County does get hail, but it is not a hail alley, and the honest starting position is that most of the roofs we are called out to look at after a storm are not damaged in a way an insurer will pay for. We find that out with a ten-by-ten test square on each slope, chalked and photographed, with strikes counted inside it.
  • Wind Damage Roofing in Fort WayneWind does not treat the whole city alike. Houses on the open southwest edge, where subdivisions back onto open ground, take the full run of a squall line.
