We are John Beal Roofing — family-run since 1947, BBB A+ rated, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, with in-house crews and free written estimates.

About Roofs in Cumberland
Cumberland grew along the National Road and it still reads like a corridor town, with older housing near US 40 and newer subdivisions filling in on both sides of the county line. The split-county thing matters practically — permits and inspections depend on which side of the line the house sits on, and we sort that out rather than making you figure it out.
What Fails on Cumberland Roofs
Older corridor housing carries the usual package of multiple layers, worn drip edge, and chimney flashing that has been sealed rather than rebuilt. We also see a lot of aged ventilation here — turbine and box vents from decades ago that are rusted through and leaking around their own flanges. On the newer sections, east-side wind and spring hail are the recurring issues.
Our Coverage in Cumberland
We work Cumberland on both the Marion and Hancock County sides, along US 40 and out toward the Buck Creek area. We handle the permitting on whichever side applies to your address.

Roof Repair
Leaks, missing shingles, failed flashing and worn pipe boots. We find the actual source rather than patching the stain, and we put the scope in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Roofing in Cumberland
Can old roof vents leak?
Yes, frequently. Rusted box or turbine vents leak around their own flanges, and homeowners often chase the stain thinking it is the shingles. We check every penetration during the inspection.
Which county is my Cumberland house in?
It depends on your address — the town spans the Marion and Hancock line. We sort the permitting out for whichever side you are on.
Do you replace ventilation during a re-roof?
Yes, and we size it properly. Old vents get replaced and intake gets checked so the new roof is not baking from below.
How quickly can you come out?
Free inspections are typically scheduled within days. Emergency leaks are handled 24/7 — call (317) 726-6000 and a live dispatcher answers.
