We have been on roofs across Marion County long enough to know what fails here first. It is almost never the middle of the slope. It is the flashing, the valleys and the ventilation.
Signs your roof needs looking at
- Icicles and a thick ice ridge along the gutter line in winter — the clearest warning sign here
- Water staining at an exterior wall or the top of a window after a thaw
- Shingles creased or lifted after a straight-line wind event, even with none missing
- Nail pops and lifted flashing from hard freeze-thaw cycling
- An attic that is warm in winter, or has no visible intake ventilation at the eaves
- Dark bruised spots in the shingle mat after a hail line passes

How the work goes
- Free inspection. Every slope photographed, findings shown to you.
- Written itemized price. Scope, materials and warranty on paper.
- Insurance, if it applies. We document the damage and meet your adjuster at the property.
- Permits and scheduling. We pull what your jurisdiction requires.
- The work. Decking checked, flashing replaced, ventilation corrected, valleys detailed.
- Cleanup and final walk. Magnet sweep for nails, walked with you before we leave.
Why people here call us back
- Lifetime workmanship warranty on every installation, standard
- BBB Torch Award recognized — an award for ethics, not advertising
- Best Value Guarantee — best value or we pay you $200
- Ventilation and eave detail inspected, not just shingles — ice damming is a ventilation problem wearing a roofing costume
- Family-owned since 1947 — not a crew that follows the storm and leaves
- Adjuster-ready documentation on every inspection, because Indiana claims are won on evidence
- 24/7 real answer at a local number, not a national dispatch queue

If it is an emergency right now
Call 317-726-6000 and a person answers — nights, weekends, holidays. In winter the call is usually water coming in at an exterior wall rather than the middle of a ceiling, which points at ice damming at the eave. For active water we tarp and photograph the damage before the cover goes on, because once a roof is dried in the evidence for your claim is gone.

Storm damage and insurance
Speedway roofs fail on a winter schedule. Hail happens here, but the damage that ends most roofs in Marion County is ice: snow melting over a warm attic, refreezing at the cold eave, and backing water up under the shingles where no shingle is designed to stop it. Older housing makes it worse — shallow eaves, original flashing, and attics that were insulated long before anyone thought about ventilation. Spring then adds straight-line wind that creases shingles without removing them. We inspect slope by slope, photograph the soft metals, document dates, and look at the ventilation and the eave detail, because replacing shingles without fixing why the ice formed just buys you a few years.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the roof inspection free?
- Free. We photograph every slope and leave a written Speedway report with no obligation attached.
- Do you offer financing?
- Yes, through several lenders. The written Speedway price comes before any discussion of payments.
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Yes, insured and registered as Marion County jurisdictions require. Indiana has no state roofing license, so local registration and insurance are what matter.
- What warranty do you offer?
- Lifetime workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's shingle warranty. Speedway's older, smaller homes fail at flashings and valleys, which is squarely workmanship.
