Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection
A roof inspection in Shirley is a hands on walk of the entire system. We check the field shingles for hail bruising, cracking, and granule loss, then look closely at flashing around chimneys, valleys, vents, and skylights where leaks usually start. We look for lifted or torn shingles from wind events, nail pops, sagging decking, and the aging seams common on older Shirley homes that have cycled through several roof replacements. Everything gets documented with photos, and you get to see what we saw. A thorough inspection is how small roof problems in Shirley stay small instead of turning into interior damage and a much larger bill.
I agree to be contacted by Shirley Roofing regarding my inquiry.
Chimneys wider than a stride need a cricket, the small peaked diverter that splits water around the masonry instead of letting it dam behind it. Plenty of Shirley chimneys never got one, and the roof behind them holds a slow puddle after every rain. The stain shows up inside, along the chimney chase, and the Hancock homeowner reseals the flashing twice before anyone mentions the missing piece of roof.
The same Shirley Roofing crew that starts a Shirley roof finishes it. No rotating strangers, no mystery subcontractor on day three, no explaining the house rules twice. The lead who learned where the dog stays and which outlet works is the lead at the walkthrough. Hancock homeowners host these projects, and hosting is easier when the guests stay the same.

Shirley Roofing serves Shirley and the surrounding Hancock County communities, along with nearby towns like Knightstown, Greenfield, New Castle, Spiceland, and Charlottesville. Founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, who has been featured on FOX59, WISH TV, and RTV6, the company has spent years working on central Indiana roofs of every era. Our crews are local, licensed, and insured under Indiana license RC21100059. Shirley homeowners get a small town level of attention from a team that already knows the housing stock, the weather patterns, and the way older roofs in Hancock County tend to fail.
Our approach to roofing in Shirley is straightforward.

From there, you get an honest written estimate with a clear scope of work, no vague line items, and no pressure.

Our Promise
Every Shirley homeowner who calls Shirley Roofing gets three things. First, a free on site inspection before any work is discussed, with photos of what we find.

That is the deal, and it does not change based on the size of the job.

Storm And Hail Response
Hancock County has seen its share of severe storms, including the February 2023 event that dropped trees and damaged roofs across the area. When wind or hail rolls through Shirley, we prioritize storm calls and get roofs looked at promptly. You get photo documentation of the damage and a clear next step, whether that is a targeted repair or a full replacement conversation.
We Know Older Shirley Homes
More than half of Shirley's houses were built before 1940, and those two story wood frame roofs behave very differently from newer builds. We know the quirks, the older decking, the moderate to steep pitches, and how many layers may already be up there. That experience keeps surprises off the invoice.
Full Roofing Scope
From the first inspection to the final walkthrough, one crew handles the whole job. That includes tear off, decking checks, underlayment, flashing, shingles, ridge vents, and cleanup. You are not passed between crew, and there is one point of contact for questions.
Insurance Documentation Done Right
If your Shirley roof has storm damage, the claim lives or dies on the documentation. We photograph the damage in detail, write it up in plain language, and give you a written estimate that matches the scope. You share it with your insurance carrier and adjuster, and the paperwork holds up.

Every Shirley Roof Follows the Same Order
The process starts with an on site inspection of your Shirley roof. A crew member walks the roof, checks the field, the flashing, the penetrations, and the valleys, and documents the condition with photos. We look for both storm damage and age related wear, since many Shirley homes are on their second or third roof by now. Before any talk of pricing or scope, you see what we saw. That way, the conversation about repair versus replacement is grounded in what is actually on your house, not a sales script.
Once the inspection is done, you get an honest written estimate. The scope is spelled out, the materials are listed, and there are no vague catch all line items. If your Shirley roof has storm damage and you plan to file a claim, we document the damage properly so you can bring it to your insurance carrier. When the adjuster comes out, we can meet them on the roof and walk through the findings together. works with your insurance carrier, and we never speak for them on what will or will not be covered.
After the estimate is approved and the claim side is settled, we schedule the work. The Shirley crew shows up on the agreed day, protects landscaping and siding, tears off the old roof, checks the decking, and installs the new system cleanly. We stage materials to keep the property usable, sweep for nails with a magnet, and haul away debris. Before we call it done, we walk the job with you and go over what was installed. If something is off, we address it before we leave.
Free Inspection With Photos

What we see most often on Shirley roofs
Shirley homeowners typically call us about these scenarios.
Sagging or Soft Spots in the Roof Deck
A roofline that dips between rafters usually means the plywood underneath has taken on water long enough to lose its structure. It is rarely visible from the ground and almost never from inside. Shirley Roofing walks the deck during the inspection, marks soft sheets, and prices decking per sheet in the written scope instead of surprising you on tear off day.
Tree Limbs Resting on the Roof
Branches touching the roof do not have to fall to cause damage. Every breeze drags them across the same few shingles and wears the granules off a strip, so Shirley Roofing tells you which limbs are worth cutting back and which sit far enough off the slope to leave alone.
Porch Roofs Too Flat for Shingles
Porch and addition roofs are usually shallower than the main slopes. A shingle roof sheds water downhill by overlapping; it does not hold water back, so wind-driven rain in a Shirley storm gets under the laps and shows up along the wall inside. Shirley Roofing tells you when the answer is a proper low-slope material instead of another course of shingles.
Granules Filling the Gutters
Heavy granule loss in Shirley gutters means the shingle mat is losing its UV protection, the last stage before brittleness and cracking. Some shedding is normal on a new roof; steady accumulation on a 15 year roof is a countdown. Shirley Roofing gives you a straight read on remaining life instead of an automatic replacement pitch.
Missing or Lifted Shingles
A few missing tabs after a Shirley 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. Shirley 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. Shirley Roofing reflashes Shirley 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.

"I have used several roofing contractors over the years. This team is the one I keep coming back to because they communicate clearly and follow through on what they say."
"Roof repair on a chimney flashing issue we had two other contractors look at. They diagnosed the actual cause (flashing separation behind the cricket) where the others wanted to seal the visible area. Fixed it once and it has not returned."
"Designer profile install for the curb appeal upgrade we wanted on our exterior update. The visual depth is exactly what we were hoping for. Quality install with attention to the architectural details that matter on this profile."
Shirley Roofing Questions
Straight answers to the questions Shirley homeowners ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Roofs Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Shirley 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 Cracking
Shirley sits in the Indianapolis NWS territory, which has logged repeated severe thunderstorm warnings carrying quarter size hail. Hail bruises the shingle mat and cracks the surface, damage that is not always visible from the ground. Left alone, those spots shed granules and fail early. When called in, we inspect the roof, document any hail strikes with photos, and lay out the repair or replacement options.
Wind Lifting Shingles
The broader area has seen wind gusts over 60 mph in November 2020 and January 2024, and those gusts lift and tear asphalt shingles on Shirley roofs. Once the seal strip breaks, water can drive up under the course above and reach the decking. We check for lifted tabs, missing shingles, and exposed nails, then repair or replace the affected sections.
Ice Dams On Older Eaves
Central Indiana winters bring freeze thaw cycles that build ice dams on eaves, especially on older Shirley homes with less than ideal attic insulation and ventilation. Water backs up behind the dam, pushes under the shingles, and finds its way onto the decking. When we are called out, we assess the roof edge, flashing, and underlayment, and recommend the right fix so it does not recur.
Granule Loss On Aging Roofs
Many roofs in Shirley are well into the back half of their service life, and hail and UV exposure accelerate granule loss. Bare spots on the mat mean the shingle is no longer protecting the roof. You will often see granules piling up in gutters and downspouts. We evaluate the remaining service life honestly and tell you whether repair still makes sense or replacement is the smarter call.
Choosing the Right Roof for Shirley Homes
An honest breakdown of the three systems we install most frequently.
Architectural asphalt is the most common choice for Shirley homes, and for good reason. It balances cost, curb appeal, and dependable weather performance in central Indiana. The dimensional profile looks good on the moderate to steep pitches common on older Shirley houses, and the color range is wide enough to match almost any siding or brick. Manufacturer warranties on quality architectural shingles are strong, typically covering decades of service against manufacturing defects. For most homeowners weighing value and durability, architectural asphalt is the honest sweet spot, and it is what you will see going on the majority of Shirley roof replacements.
Class 4 impact resistant shingles are built to take the kind of hail that bruises standard asphalt. Given Shirley's exposure to spring and summer thunderstorms and repeated quarter size hail reports across Hancock County, that extra toughness matters. The reinforced mat holds up better under impact, and granule life tends to run longer, which stretches the useful life of the roof. Some insurance carriers offer a premium credit for Class 4 shingles, so ask your carrier whether your policy qualifies before you decide. It is an upgrade worth pricing out when you are already replacing the roof.
Standing seam metal is the longest lived of the three options, with concealed fasteners that eliminate the exposed screw failures common on older ag panel roofs. It sheds snow and ice cleanly, resists wind uplift when installed correctly, and asks very little of you once it is up. The tradeoff is honest, the upfront cost is meaningfully higher than architectural asphalt. What you are buying is decades of low maintenance and a roof that likely outlasts your ownership of the home. For the right Shirley house and the right budget, it is a strong long term play.
