“Odell found a cracked vent boot and fixed that instead of selling me a roof. He showed me the photos first.”

- Owner, estimates and crew lead
Odell Whitley
I come to your estimate. I go up on the roof, take photos, and show you what I found before I say anything about price.
Call Odell: (812) 555-0100 - Co-owner, scheduling and paperwork

What I do
Roofs, repairs and storm damage
Asphalt shingle roofs on houses and garages are most of the work. Other materials are quoted after a visit.
Re-roofing
Tear-off down to the deck, new underlayment, flashing and shingles, and a clean yard.
How a re-roof goesRepairs and leaks
Flashing, vent boots, chimneys, valleys and loose shingles. I would rather fix a roof than sell you a new one.
How I find a leakAfter a storm
Wind and hail inspections, with photos and an itemized written estimate you can share with your insurer.
What to do firstGutters and small jobs
Gutters, downspouts and fascia, done with a roof or on their own.
All services
When you call
What happens next
You call or send the form
Odell or Delores answers, or calls you back. We ask how old the roof is, what it is made of, and whether it is leaking now.
I come to your house
At the time we set. I walk the outside, go up on the roof tied off, and look in the attic if I can get in.
You get it in writing
Photos, what I found, repair or replace, and the work and the price on paper. Nothing to sign that day.
You decide
Compare it with other estimates. Call me with questions. There is no clock on it.
On your roof
Tied off, every time
Anyone on your roof wears a harness tied to an anchor. Ladders are set at the right angle and run past the eave.
It is slower than skipping it, and it is the only way I send a crew up.
Harness and rope on every roof that needs one
Ladders set and tied before anyone climbs
Tarps and cleanup before the crew leaves each day
Where I work
Evansville and the towns around it
The shop is at 1316 Diamond Avenue, Evansville, Indiana. I drive to every estimate myself.

Questions
Before you call
How long does a roof last?
Architectural asphalt shingles run about 25 to 30 years, and older 3-tab shingles about 15 to 20. Indiana sun, storms and poor attic ventilation shorten that.
How long does a replacement take?
Most houses take one to three days. A steep or complicated roof takes longer, and winter weather can stretch it.
Do I need a permit?
For a full replacement, almost always. I pull it and tell you the fee on the estimate.
What if it rains during the job?
I tear off only what the crew can dry in that day and cover what is open. If rain is coming, we stop.
Will you check my attic?
Yes, if I can get in. The underside of the deck, the insulation and the airflow tell me things the shingles don't.
Want me to come look at your roof?
Call Odell, or send the form at the top of this page. Delores will set the day.
