About Roofs in Fortville
Fortville is one of those towns where the historic main street is genuinely intact and the growth happened around the edges rather than through the middle. Older housing near downtown carries real age; newer development sits on former farmland with no windbreak. Two roofing realities, half a mile apart.
What Fails on Fortville Roofs
Downtown-adjacent homes bring the old-house package: multiple layers, plank decking, chimneys that have been caulked instead of reflashed, and porch roofs at low pitch tied into steeper main roofs. The newer subdivisions bring wind on the rake and ridge plus the spring hail that crosses Hancock County every year. We inspect the porch and addition tie-ins specifically on the older homes — that junction is where the leaks almost always start.
Our Coverage in Fortville
We cover Fortville, the surrounding Vernon Township area, and out toward the Madison County line. Being set up across Hancock County means when a storm cell crosses Fortville, McCordsville and Greenfield in one pass, we are already working the area rather than routing crews in from out of state.
Roofing Services We Provide in Fortville
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.
24/7 Emergency Service
A live dispatcher answers at any hour. Emergency tarping stops active water intrusion, with the permanent repair scheduled right behind it.
Storm & Hail Damage
Free documented inspection with photographs you keep. We check bruising and sealant bond by hand, not from the driveway.
Roof Replacement
Full tear-off to bare deck, decking quoted per sheet up front, ventilation corrected, lifetime workmanship warranty on qualifying work.
Commercial & Flat Roofs
TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen and built-up systems. Documented inspections, maintenance programs, repair and replacement.
Gutters & Leaf Guards
Seamless gutters sized and pitched to the roof area they actually drain, plus micro-mesh leaf protection under heavy tree cover.
Why Fortville Homeowners Call John Beal Roofing
An old roof and a new roof need opposite instincts. We have been roofing in the Midwest since 1947 with in-house crews who have done both, and we put the scope in writing before anybody starts.
We have been a family-run Midwest roofing company since 1947 — Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, BBB A+ rated, and named to Roofing Contractor Magazine's Top 100. We use in-house crews rather than subcontracted labor, so the people on your roof work for the company whose warranty you are holding. Every job starts with a free inspection, photographs you keep, and a written scope before anyone begins.
Frequently Asked Questions — Roofing in Fortville
Do you work on the older homes near downtown Fortville?
Yes. Those roofs often have plank decking and layered history, so we quote a per-sheet decking allowance up front and photograph what we replace.
Why does my porch roof leak where it meets the house?
Because low-slope porch roofs need a membrane and proper flashing at the tie-in, not shingles run up to the wall. It is the single most common leak point on older Fortville homes.
Do you do emergency work in Fortville?
Yes, 24 hours a day. Call (317) 726-6000; a live dispatcher answers and we tarp first if water is actively coming in.
How often does hail hit Hancock County?
Often enough that spring inspections are routine here. Open ground east of the metro means storm cells arrive with nothing to break them up.
