Serving Otwell and Pike County
A significant portion of homes in Otwell were built between 1955 and 1985 — a period when roofing materials and installation standards were different from today's code requirements. The original organic felt underlayment on these roofs is long past its service life. The galvanized steel flashing has typically corroded through at one or more points. The 3-tab shingles, if original, have exceeded their design life by a decade or more. We've inspected enough Pike County homes from this era to know what we're likely to find — and what it means for the homeowner.
We hold an active Indiana roofing contractor license, which you can verify through the Indiana Department of Labor licensing database. License number provided on every written estimate.
Pike County's housing median of 1963 means many Otwell homeowners are managing roofs that have never had a professional inspection. Most roofing problems develop gradually — a sealant that cracks over three seasons, a flashing that lifts each winter and reseats less fully each spring — and only become expensive when allowed to run long enough. We catch these problems at the addressable stage, before they become structural.
