Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection
A roof inspection on a Fortville home is a hands on look at the shingles, flashing around chimneys and penetrations, valleys, ridges, vents, gutters, and the areas most likely to fail first. The crew looks for hail bruising, wind lifting, cracked or missing shingles, granule loss in the gutters, sealant failure, and the tell tale signs of a roof that is simply aging out of its service life. Everything gets documented with photos so you can see exactly what we saw from the ladder. That documentation matters, because a small nail pop or a lifted shingle in Fortville today can turn into a decking replacement and interior repair next spring. The inspection itself is free, and there is no obligation attached to it.
I agree to be contacted by Fortville Roofing regarding my inquiry.
Most Fortville roof leaks are not shingle leaks. Water enters at flashing: the chimney where the counterflashing pulled loose, the wall transition where step flashing was face nailed, the pipe boot that cracked on schedule at year twelve. The shingle field gets blamed because it is the biggest surface, but the Hancock leak hunt almost always ends at a detail somebody caulked instead of fixed.
Storm damage gets documented by Fortville Roofing before repairs touch it, because the evidence has a shelf life and the Fortville claim depends on it. Photos dated, slopes mapped, granule loss and creased tabs recorded before weather tidies them up. Hancock homeowners who call after the storm instead of after the stain give their carrier a file instead of a story, and a file is what an adjuster can actually work from.

Fortville Roofing serves Fortville and the rest of Hancock County, along with nearby McCordsville, Fishers, Pendleton, New Palestine, Greenfield, and Ingalls. Founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, who has been featured on FOX59, WISH TV, and RTV6, the company has spent years focused specifically on roofing work across central Indiana. Our crews are local, licensed and insured in Indiana under RC21100059, and familiar with the range of homes you find in Fortville, from older ranches near the historic core to newer two story builds in the outlying subdivisions. When you call about a roof in Fortville or anywhere else in Hancock County, you get people who work on roofs like yours every week.
Every roofing job in Fortville starts the same way, with a full walkthrough of the roof and photo documentation of what the crew finds. From there you get an honest written estimate that spells out the scope, the materials, and what the work actually involves, so there is nothing hidden between the first conversation and the final nail. On the roof, the crew works clean, protects the landscaping and driveway, and hauls off tear off debris when the job is done. The goal is straightforward roofing work done to code, done to spec, and done in a way you can point to years later without regret.
Our Promise
Every Fortville homeowner who calls Fortville Roofing gets a free on site inspection first, before anyone talks about scope or price. From that inspection you get an honest written estimate with clear line items, not surprise add ons discovered halfway through the job. When the roofing work is scheduled, it is backed by a workmanship warranty on top of the standard manufacturer coverage on the shingles themselves. That is the deal, and it applies whether you need a small repair or a full replacement.
The Standard We Hold on Fortville Roofs
Serving Fortville and Hancock with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.
Built For Storm Season
Central Indiana sits in a well known hail and wind corridor, and Fortville catches its share of it every spring and summer. When a line of storms rolls through, we prioritize scheduling for homes with visible damage, tarping needs, or active leaks. You get photos, a written scope, and a clear path forward.
Roofs We Know Well
Fortville housing runs from older homes with roofs pushing past 25 years to newer subdivisions where the shingles are still relatively young but sit in the same storm belt. Our crews work on both ends of that range every week. That means fewer surprises once the tear off starts.
Inspection Through Cleanup
We handle the full arc of roofing work, from the first inspection and written estimate through installation, final walkthrough, and site cleanup. There is no handoff to a different company halfway through. One crew, one scope, one point of accountability for the finished roof.
Claim Documentation Done Right
If your Fortville roof took storm damage, we document it thoroughly with dated photos, measurements, and written notes on what we found. That documentation goes to you and, if you file a claim, supports the conversation with your insurance carrier and adjuster. works with your insurance carrier, but we make sure the facts are on paper.
Real Jobs. Real Results.

What to Expect Before Our Fortville Crew Arrives
The first step for any Fortville roof is the inspection. A crew member walks the roof, checks the shingles, flashing, valleys, penetrations, and vents, and looks for the specific damage patterns that come from hail, wind, or simple age. Everything gets photographed so you can see it from the ground. If the roof is fine, we tell you it is fine. If it needs repair or replacement, we walk you through what we found and why, and we put together a scope that reflects the actual condition of your roof, not a template.
Once the inspection is done, you get an honest written estimate that spells out labor, materials, and scope in plain language. If there is storm damage and you are filing a claim, we hand over the photo documentation and written findings for your insurance carrier and adjuster to review. We work alongside you through that process, but the claim itself stays between you and your carrier. Whether it is an insurance job or an out of pocket repair, Fortville homeowners see the same estimate format and the same pricing approach.
When the estimate is signed and materials are ordered, we schedule the work at a time that fits your household. The crew protects landscaping, siding, windows, and driveways before tear off begins, and the site stays as clean as a roofing job can be while shingles are flying off. After installation, we do a final walkthrough with you, magnet sweep the yard and drive for nails, and haul off the debris. Fortville homeowners get a completed roof, a clean property, and paperwork that documents what was installed.
Free Roof Inspection
Every Fortville job starts with a free on site inspection. A crew member walks the roof, checks the shingles, flashing, and problem areas, and documents everything with photos. You get a straight answer on whether the roof needs repair, replacement, or nothing at all right now.
Honest Written Estimate
After the inspection, you get a written estimate with clear line items for scope, materials, and labor. Nothing gets buried in fine print, and nothing shows up as a surprise mid job. If something changes once the roof is opened up, we talk to you before any additional work happens.
Insurance Documentation
If storm damage is in play, we put the photos, measurements, and written findings into a format your insurance carrier and adjuster can actually use. works with your insurance carrier, and we do not steer the claim. We give you the documentation and let the facts do the work.
Clean Work, Final Walkthrough
The crew protects the property before tear off, keeps the site tidy through installation, and magnet sweeps for nails at the end. Before we call the job done, we walk the roof and the yard with you. Anything that needs attention gets handled before the trucks leave.

What we see most often on Fortville roofs
Fortville homeowners typically call us about these scenarios.
Roof Leaking After a Storm
Wind lifts shingle tabs and breaks seal strips, and the leak often shows up rooms away from the entry point as water tracks along decking and framing. Fortville storms produce exactly this call every spring. Fortville Roofing traces the actual entry point, documents wind damage to carrier standards, and repairs the field, not just the stain on the ceiling.
Debris Packing Into the Valleys
Valleys carry runoff from two slopes at once, so anything that slows the water there matters. Leaves and needles pack in over a Fortville winter, washed-down granules cement the pile together, and the backed-up water works sideways under the shingle laps until it finds the deck. Fortville Roofing clears the valleys during the inspection and tells you whether the metal underneath is worn through or just dirty.
Bathroom Vents Ducted Into the Attic
A bath fan that exhausts into attic space instead of through the roof puts warm wet air against the underside of the deck every day. Homeowners find it when the plywood darkens or the insulation mats down. Fortville Roofing looks for it during the roof inspection and flags it, because it is a roof problem even though it starts in a bathroom.
Ice Dams Backing Water Under Shingles
When a Fortville attic runs warm, snow melts, refreezes at the cold eave, and dams water back under the shingles where it finds nail holes and seams. The shingles are usually fine; the ventilation and insulation are not. Fortville Roofing addresses the cause with ventilation correction and ice and water shield coverage, not just the ceiling stain.
Ice and Water Shield That Stops Too Short
Where an ice barrier goes on it runs from the eave to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line, and plenty of older Fortville roofs got a strip at the edge and nothing more. The result shows up as a winter leak that disappears every spring. Fortville Roofing checks coverage during tear off and brings it to what the shingle manufacturer's instructions call for rather than matching what was there.
Previous Repairs Done With Roofing Cement
A black smear over a flashing joint is a repair that hides the problem rather than solving it. The cement cracks, traps water behind itself, and the damage underneath keeps going. Fortville Roofing opens up sealed areas during inspection so you find out what was actually done to the roof before you bought the house.

What Comes Up on Every Fortville Estimate
Straight answers to the questions Fortville homeowners ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Roofs Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Fortville homeowners deal with spring hail and severe thunderstorms, summer UV exposure, fall wind storms, and winter freeze thaw cycles. Understanding these patterns is how we plan maintenance, repairs, and replacement work.
Hail Bruising On Shingles
Hancock County has taken direct hail hits during central Indiana storm events, and Fortville has been named specifically in National Weather Service reports for hail damage. Hail bruises the mat under the shingle, cracks the surface, and knocks granules loose, all of which shorten the roof's life. When we inspect after a hail event, we mark hits, photograph them, and document the pattern.
Wind Lifting And Tearing
Straight line winds over 60 mph have moved through this part of central Indiana during the same storm systems that bring hail. Wind lifts shingle tabs, breaks the sealant strip, and in stronger gusts pulls shingles off entirely. Once that seal is broken, water gets under the course above. We check tab seal, ridge, and edges after every wind event.
Ice Dams In Winter
Central Indiana winters bring the freeze thaw cycle that builds ice dams along eaves and in valleys. Water pools behind the dam and backs up under the shingles, then finds the decking and eventually the ceiling below. On Fortville homes with older insulation or ventilation issues, this shows up as stained drywall in late winter. We inspect for the underlying cause, not just the symptom.
Granule Loss Over Time
Older Fortville roofs, especially those with original 3-tab shingles, lose granules steadily as the asphalt ages and storms accelerate the wear. You see the granules in the gutter troughs and at the base of downspouts. Once the mat is exposed, UV finishes the job fast. We measure how much life is left and give you a straight answer on repair versus replacement.
Choosing the Right Roof for Fortville Homes
An honest breakdown of the three systems we install most frequently.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice on Fortville roofs, and for good reason. They balance cost, curb appeal, and reliable weather performance in a way few other materials can match at this price point. Compared to older 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles have a thicker profile, better wind ratings, and a dimensional look that flatters both older ranches and newer two story homes. Color options run wide, from weathered wood tones to grays and blacks that suit modern builds. Most major manufacturers back architectural shingles with strong warranties covering material defects, and when they are installed to spec, they deliver decades of dependable service on a Fortville home.
Impact resistant Class 4 shingles are built to take the kind of hail that bruises and cracks standard asphalt. Given how often central Indiana storm seasons produce quarter size to golf ball size hail, that matters for Fortville homes. Class 4 shingles use a reinforced mat and modified asphalt formulation that holds granules longer and resists the specific damage pattern hail creates. Some insurance carriers offer a premium credit for installing Class 4 shingles, but the credit varies, so ask your carrier directly whether your policy qualifies before you count on it. The upfront cost is higher than standard architectural, and the tradeoff is a roof that ages more slowly through repeated storm seasons.
Standing seam metal roofing carries the longest service life of the three tiers, often measured in decades rather than years. The panels use concealed fasteners, which means no exposed screws to back out or leak over time, and the smooth surface sheds snow and ice cleanly rather than letting them pile up in valleys. Upkeep is minimal beyond periodic inspections. The tradeoff is honest, standing seam costs meaningfully more up front than asphalt, sometimes two to three times more depending on the profile and finish. What you are buying is decades of very low maintenance and a roof that, installed correctly on a Fortville home, will likely outlast the next owner.
