About Roofs in Lawrence
Lawrence carries the old Fort Benjamin Harrison footprint, mid-century neighborhoods, and newer development toward Geist and the county line. That spread means we see original mid-century roofs alongside twelve-year-old subdivision shingle within a couple of miles. There is no single Lawrence roof profile, and any contractor who quotes you without getting on the roof is guessing.
What Fails on Lawrence Roofs
On the mid-century housing: low-slope sections over additions and carports, aging plank or early plywood decking, and flashing at wall intersections that has been painted over more than once. On the newer sections: the standard storm profile of wind-lifted ridge cap and hail bruising. Across both, the northeast side of Marion County catches its share of spring hail, and we do a lot of documented hail inspections here in April and May.
Our Coverage in Lawrence
We work all of Lawrence including the Fort Harrison area, Oaklandon, and the neighborhoods along Pendleton Pike and 56th Street. Additions are common here, and the tie-in where an addition's roof meets the original house is one of the most reliable leak points in the city — we check it specifically.
Roofing Services We Provide in Lawrence
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.

Every job starts with a free inspection, photographs you keep, and a written scope before anyone begins.
Frequently Asked Questions — Roofing in Lawrence
Where do additions usually leak?
At the tie-in, where the addition's roof plane meets the original house wall or roof. That junction needs proper step and kick-out flashing, and on older Lawrence additions it frequently was not done right the first time.
Do you inspect for hail damage in Lawrence?
Yes, and we document it with photographs. Northeast Marion County takes real spring hail. We will tell you honestly whether what we find rises to the level of a claim.
Can you handle a low-slope section over a carport or addition?
Yes. Low-slope areas need a membrane system rather than shingles. Shingling a near-flat section is a common shortcut and a guaranteed leak.
Do you cover Oaklandon and the Fort Harrison area?
Yes, all of Lawrence. Call (317) 726-6000 for a free inspection with no obligation.
