Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection
A roof inspection on a Wanamaker home is a careful walkthrough of everything that keeps water out. We look at shingle condition, granule loss, cracked or lifted tabs, exposed nails, and flashing around chimneys, valleys, vents, and skylights. We check the areas that tend to fail first on Wanamaker roofs, including the north facing slopes that hold moss under mature tree cover and the ridges and edges where wind does the most damage. Every finding gets photographed so you can see it yourself, and we write up what we saw in plain language. A thorough look now keeps small problems in Wanamaker from turning into torn out decking and interior repairs later.

Freeze thaw works the Wanamaker roof edge harder than anywhere else. Meltwater refreezes at the cold overhang, expands in every gap it found, and pries at the first courses through the whole Indiana winter. Eaves without membrane protection lose the fight a crystal at a time, and the Marion County spring reveals what January did: stains on the fascia and the first courses cupped loose.
Your deductible is your deductible at Wanamaker Roofing, in Wanamaker and everywhere else. No games with it, no absorbing it into inflated scopes, no wink at the kitchen table. The practice that plays with that number puts homeowners in the middle of something they never signed up for, and across Marion County our claims work stays clean because the company intends to be here for the next storm too.

Local Expertise, Real Results
The same person who walked your roof is the person who answers when you call back.
Hail does its damage in seconds and hides it for months. Wanamaker Roofing inspects Wanamaker roofs the way adjusters do, documents functional damage honestly, and tells you plainly when a roof does not need work.
Wanamaker Roofing serves Wanamaker homeowners with roofing work built for the mix of housing you actually find here, from 1950s ranches to newer two story traditionals near Franklin Central High School. Our service area covers Wanamaker, the rest of Marion County, and surrounding communities like Beech Grove, Acton, Southport, and New Palestine. Founder Aaron Christy started the company in 2018 and has been featured on FOX59, WISH TV, and RTV6 for his work in central Indiana. Every project is handled by a licensed and insured local crew that understands how Wanamaker roofs age. We hold Indiana license RC21100059, and we stand behind the work we put on your home.
The way we work on a Wanamaker roof is straightforward. We start with a thorough inspection, climb the roof when it is safe, and document what we find with photos so you can see the shingles, flashing, and problem spots the way we do. From there you get an honest written estimate with a clear scope, transparent line items, and plain talk about what needs to happen now versus what can wait. When the crew shows up, they work cleanly, protect landscaping and gutters, and leave the property tidy. No brochure talk, no invented certifications, just careful roofing done right the first time.
Our Promise
Every Wanamaker homeowner gets a free on site roof inspection before we quote a single dollar of work. You get an honest written estimate that spells out the scope, the materials, and the price, with transparent line items added later. The finished work is backed by a workmanship warranty from Wanamaker Roofing alongside the standard manufacturer coverage on the shingles themselves. If something is not right, we come back and make it right.
The Reason Neighbors Trade Our Name Around
Serving Wanamaker and Marion County with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.
Storm And Hail Response
Central Indiana sits in an active hail and wind corridor, and Wanamaker sees its share of both during the May through July storm season. We prioritize scheduling for homeowners with active leaks or visible storm damage. Photo documented findings give you what you need to move forward with a claim without guesswork.
Local Roof Experience
Wanamaker homes range from 1950s Dutch Colonials to 2000s two story traditionals, and each generation has its own quirks in decking, ventilation, and flashing. We have worked on both ends of that range. That means fewer surprises mid project and a scope that reflects what your actual roof needs.
Full Scope Roofing
You do not have to hand off from one contractor to another. Wanamaker Roofing handles the inspection, the repair or replacement decision, the material selection, and the completed work under one roof. One crew, one point of contact, one written estimate from start to finish.
Insurance Documentation Done Right
Storm claims live or die on the quality of the documentation. We photograph hail bruising, wind lifted shingles, and damaged flashing, and we write it up clearly so your carrier and adjuster have what they need. You stay in control of the claim, and we give you a clean paper trail.
Real Jobs. Real Results.

A Wanamaker Roof Replacement, Phase by Phase
Every Wanamaker project starts on the roof, not on a sales pitch. A crew member walks the roof, checks the attic side when accessible, and looks at shingles, flashing, penetrations, and areas showing storm or age wear. We take photos as we go and put together a clear scope of what actually needs to happen. You see what we saw, in plain language, before any decision gets made. No pressure, no upsell on things your Wanamaker roof does not need.
Once the inspection is done, we sit down with the findings and write an honest estimate. If your roof has storm damage and you plan to file with your insurance carrier, we document the damage properly and can meet the adjuster on site to walk them through what we found. works with your insurance carrier and we do not name drop or steer you toward a particular company. You work with your carrier, we support the claim with clear evidence, and the Wanamaker homeowner stays in control of the process.
When it is time to do the work, we schedule around your calendar and the weather. Materials are staged carefully, landscaping and driveways get protected, and the crew tears off and installs cleanly. On replacement jobs we check the decking, replace what is soft, and set new underlayment, flashing, and shingles to spec. When the roof is done, we do a final walkthrough with you, run a magnet for stray nails, and haul off debris. Wanamaker homes get handed back cleaner than we found them.
Free Inspection With Photos
We climb the roof, check shingles and flashing, and photograph anything that matters. You get to see the condition of your Wanamaker roof for yourself, not just hear about it. No fee, no obligation to move forward.
Honest Written Estimate
The estimate spells out scope, materials, and price on paper. If a line item is in there, we can explain why. If something is not needed, we do not add it just to pad the number.
Insurance Documentation
For storm claims we prepare clear photo documentation of hail and wind damage and can meet your adjuster on site. You file with your own carrier and we support the claim with evidence. We do not bill your insurance company directly.
Clean Work And Final Walkthrough
The crew protects the property, keeps the site organized, and cleans up debris at the end of the day. When the roof is done, we walk it with you and run a magnet through the yard for nails. Nothing gets called finished until you agree it is.

What we see most often on Wanamaker roofs
Wanamaker homeowners typically call us about these scenarios.
Missing or Lifted Shingles
A few missing tabs after a Wanamaker wind event usually mean the surrounding shingles broke their seal too, including the ones still lying flat. Spot replacing only what blew off leaves the slope open to the next front. Wanamaker Roofing checks seal integrity across the whole area and quotes the repair that actually holds through the next season.
Skylight Staining the Ceiling Below
A skylight that leaks is usually a flashing kit that has outlived the roof around it, not a failed unit. Wanamaker Roofing reflashes Wanamaker skylights to the manufacturer detail or replaces aged units with your sign off, and either way the decking around the curb gets checked while the opening is exposed.
Holes Left by Dish and Panel Mounts
Anything bolted to a roof puts a hole through it, and that hole is only as good as what went in around it. Dish and panel installers often shoot a lag straight through the shingle and cover it with a dab of sealant, which holds until the sealant cracks. Wanamaker Roofing finds abandoned mounts on Wanamaker inspections, flashes or patches the opening properly, and checks the decking below it.
Algae Streaking on the North Slope
Those black streaks running down shaded Wanamaker slopes are airborne algae feeding on the limestone filler in the shingle mat. They are cosmetic at first and hold moisture against the surface over time. Wanamaker Roofing tells you plainly whether the roof needs cleaning, algae resistant shingles at replacement, or nothing at all yet.
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 Wanamaker roofs got a strip at the edge and nothing more. The result shows up as a winter leak that disappears every spring. Wanamaker Roofing checks coverage during tear off and brings it to what the shingle manufacturer's instructions call for rather than matching what was there.
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. Wanamaker Roofing looks for it during the roof inspection and flags it, because it is a roof problem even though it starts in a bathroom.

Questions We Get on Wanamaker Roofs
Straight answers to the questions Wanamaker homeowners ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Roofs Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Wanamaker 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 And Cracked Shingles
Marion County saw well over a hundred radar detected hail events in recent years, with half dollar and golf ball sized stones reported near Indianapolis. Hail bruises the asphalt mat, cracks tabs, and knocks off protective granules, leading to leaks months later. When we get called out, we mark and photograph each hit and score the slopes for a claim conversation.
Wind Lifted And Torn Shingles
Wanamaker spring storms routinely produce winds above 60 mph as Gulf moisture meets cold fronts. That kind of wind breaks the sealant strip, lifts shingle tabs, and tears rows off the ridges and rakes first. We check the edges and hips where damage starts, replace what is compromised, and reseal what can still hold.
Ice Dams On Cold Snaps
Central Indiana winters swing between thaws and hard freezes, which is exactly what builds ice dams along the eaves. Melt water backs up behind the ice, gets under the shingles, and finds its way into the decking and soffits. We look for stained underlayment, failing flashing at eaves and valleys, and address ventilation issues driving the melt cycle.
Granule Loss On Aging Roofs
Many Wanamaker roofs installed during the 1990s and 2000s build out are now past their expected service window, and it shows up first as granules in the gutters. Once the mat is exposed, UV cooks the shingles and cracks follow. When we see heavy granule loss on a Wanamaker roof, we walk you through repair versus replacement honestly.
Choosing the Right Roof for Wanamaker Homes
An honest breakdown of the three systems we install most frequently.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice on Wanamaker homes for good reason. They balance cost, curb appeal, and dependable weather performance, and they come in a wide range of colors and profiles that suit ranches, Dutch Colonials, and newer Craftsman style two stories alike. Modern architectural shingles carry strong manufacturer warranties against defects and offer solid wind ratings when installed to spec with proper starter, ridge, and nailing patterns. For most homeowners planning a Wanamaker roof replacement, architectural asphalt hits the right point on price, appearance, and expected service life. We install them to manufacturer specification so the warranty stays intact.
Class 4 impact resistant shingles are built to take the kind of hail that bruises and cracks standard architectural asphalt. Given how often the Indianapolis corridor lights up with hail during spring and early summer, Class 4 is worth serious consideration for Wanamaker homeowners who want to reduce the odds of another claim in a few years. The reinforced mat holds granules longer and resists the cracking that shortens roof life. Ask your insurance carrier whether your policy offers a premium credit for impact resistant roofing. We cannot promise a discount, but many carriers do offer one and it is worth a phone call before you decide.
Standing seam metal offers the longest service life of the three options, often measured in decades rather than years. The concealed fastener design keeps penetrations off the weather surface, sheds snow and ice cleanly, and asks very little of you in terms of upkeep once installed. The tradeoff is honest: the upfront cost is meaningfully higher than architectural asphalt. What you are buying is decades of low maintenance and strong weather performance rather than a lower sticker price today. For Wanamaker homeowners planning to stay in the house long term, standing seam can pencil out well.
