Designer Roofing for Wahpihani Park Area (Northwest Rocky Ripple) Houses in Rocky Ripple

The northwest corner of Rocky Ripple, adjacent to Wahpihani Park and the Town Hall, sits closest to the bend of the White River and is among the most exposed sections of the town to wind and storm debris given its open riverside position. Homes in this section were built largely between the 1930s and early 1950s, putting most roofs in the same aging asphalt shingle range as the rest of the town, and any hail event that tracks across the Indianapolis metro hits this northwest facing edge of the town first. The combination of a heavily treed riverbank to the west and the low elevation of the White River floodplain means gutters and roof valleys here collect debris rapidly, and moss or algae growth on north facing slopes is a common sign that the current roof is overdue for replacement.

Tear-off in Wahpihani Park Area (Northwest Rocky Ripple) means down to the deck. Roofing over an existing layer is faster and cheaper, and it conceals precisely the problems a homeowner is paying somebody to find. The decking is where the surprises live.
