Roofing in Avon, Indiana
Avon only incorporated as a town in 1995, so it is easy to think of every house here as new. Some are: the Census Bureau’s latest estimates put about 40% of Avon’s roughly 9,000 housing units at 2010 or later. But about 26% were built in the 1990s and another 22% in the 2000s, as Washington Township filled in along the US 36 corridor. For roofing, that middle group is the one to watch.
Where Avon roofs are in their life
An asphalt shingle roof typically lasts somewhere between 20 and 30 years in Central Indiana, less if it was a basic three-tab shingle, if the attic is poorly ventilated, or if it has taken a few hailstorms. A house built in Avon in the 1990s that still has its first roof is now at or past that range. Homes from the 2000s are entering it.
The signs are usually visible from the driveway: shingles that have lost their granules and look smooth or patchy, edges that curl or cup, and shingle tabs that have lifted or gone missing after a windy night. Inside, look for stains on the ceiling near exterior walls and for daylight or damp sheathing in the attic.
The newest homes have a different issue. Young subdivisions have few mature trees to break the wind, and shingles that were not nailed in the right zone or never fully sealed are the ones that lift first. That is usually a repair, and on a recently built house it may still be covered by the builder’s or installer’s workmanship warranty, so check your paperwork before paying for it.

How a roof project works with us

- A straight answer on repair or replacement. If a repair will do, we say so, and you get a written estimate either way.
- Insurance, if it was a storm. We document the damage and work with your adjuster, and keep you copied on that correspondence.
- Installation and walk-through. After the work is done we walk the property with you before we call the job finished.
Questions we hear
My Avon house was built in the late 1990s. Do I need a new roof?
Not automatically. If the roof has already been replaced once, it may have years left. If it is the original roof, it is old enough that an inspection is worth doing before the next storm season, so you can plan a replacement rather than react to a leak.
Does my HOA have to approve a new roof?
Many Avon subdivisions have covenants that cover shingle style and color. Check with your HOA before you choose a color; it is much easier to get approval first than to change course after the order is placed.
Are a few missing shingles worth an insurance claim?
It depends on the cause and your deductible. Wind damage to a few shingles is often cheaper to repair than to claim. Hail damage across the whole roof is a different conversation. We will tell you which one you are looking at.
