Roof replacement by our own union-trained roofers
We tear off and replace roofs on homes in Terre Haute, Brazil, West Terre Haute, Clay City, Sullivan, Clinton, Linton, Greencastle and the rest of the Wabash Valley. Our roofers are union-trained, which lets us take on large industrial and commercial projects as well as residential and custom roofs. Roofing foreman Timmy Burgess runs our roof jobs on site. We install architectural asphalt shingles and metal roofing.
Every roof gets a free inspection. We look at the roof and the attic, tell you what we see, and tell you plainly if a roof repair makes more sense than a new roof.
We’re registered with the City of Terre Haute (CL003471), bonded, and insured for general liability and workers’ compensation. Ask any roofer for a certificate of insurance before they climb onto your house. We’ll send ours on request. One more thing up front: we don’t do roofing in Illinois. If you’d like, we’re happy to connect you with a union roofer in Illinois that we trust.

Prices checked October 2026. Every proposal is one all-inclusive price: permits and sales tax built in.
What a new roof costs
Our recent asphalt-shingle replacements came in around $525 to $560 per square (100 square feet), tear-off included. The residential roof replacements we’ve bid have run from $10,000 to $105,000. The inspection and estimate are free. Where your roof lands depends mostly on size, pitch, layers to tear off, decking, ventilation and material.
We don’t price roofs by the square. Every proposal is built from the actual cost of your job: materials, labor, equipment, permits and overhead. The per-square shingle figures above are simply what our past bids have worked out to.
Size, in squares
Roofers measure a roof in squares, and one square is 100 square feet of roof surface. Your roof’s area isn’t the same as your home’s floor area. Overhangs, pitch, dormers and porch roofs all add squares.
Pitch
A steep roof can’t be walked safely, so the crew works tied off in harnesses. That takes time to rig and slows the work, so steep roofs cost more per square.
Layers to tear off
We tear every roof down to the decking. That’s the only way to see the wood underneath. A house with two or three old layers takes more labor to strip and sends more weight to the landfill, and disposal is part of the price.
Decking
With the shingles off, we can see the plywood or OSB. Soft or rotted sheets get replaced. Older houses sometimes have 1×8 board decking instead of sheets. Shingle manufacturers limit how wide the gaps between boards can be, and when old boards are out of spec we’ll recommend new sheathing over them so the shingle warranty holds.
We look at the decking from the attic during the inspection, so problems we can see get priced in before you sign. For the rest, your proposal includes a per-sheet price for replacing rotted or damaged decking, because we can’t see all of it until the old roof comes off. If we find bad decking at tear-off, we photograph it and send you a change order in your JobTread portal, so you can approve the sheets the same day before we cover them.
Ventilation
An attic needs air coming in low at the soffits and going out high at the ridge or roof vents. Without it, summer heat bakes the shingles from underneath and winter moisture condenses on the decking. During the attic inspection we check intake and exhaust. We also look for HVAC or electrical lines run so close to the decking that a roofing nail could hit them.
Material
Architectural shingles cost less than metal, and premium shingle lines cost more than standard ones. For a deeper look at the numbers, see the roof replacement cost guide.
Signs it’s time to replace, not repair
Hot, humid summers and icy winters in the Wabash Valley are hard on asphalt shingles, and strong spring storms with high winds speed the wear along. These are the signs we look for during an inspection:
- Age. A roof near the end of its rated life is worth a look before it starts leaking, not after.
- Lifted, cracked or missing shingles. Shingles that lift in the wind or crack in the cold stop shedding water.
- Granules in the gutters. A lot of shingle granules washing out of the downspouts means the shingles are wearing through.
- Repeat repairs. If you’re patching the same roof every year, that money may be better spent on a new one.
- Stains and leaks. Water stains on ceilings or damp spots in the attic. A small leak can rot decking and framing long before you see it inside.
Shingles and metal we install
These are products we install. Each manufacturer’s warranty on its materials passes through to you.
- Owens Corning Duration. An architectural shingle with Owens Corning’s SureNail strip, a reinforced band where the nails go. We like it on houses that take a lot of wind.
- Malarkey Vista. Our premium architectural shingle, made with polymer-modified asphalt.
- Atlas Pinnacle. Another architectural shingle line we install.
- Metal roofing. Most of the metal roofs we install are exposed-fastener ribbed steel panels, the common choice for homes and pole barns, with matching trim and sealed fasteners. They typically run $800 to $1,200 per square with one layer of shingles torn off. Standing-seam panels, which hide their fasteners, are quoted on request. See metal roofing.
Shingles are rated for hail impact from Class 1 to Class 4, with Class 4 the toughest, and they carry wind ratings too. We’ll walk you through the ratings and the manufacturer’s warranty for every shingle we quote.
How a roof replacement works
- You reach out — Call (812) 605-2560 or use the estimate form. Doug Stoliby, our sales manager, gets back to you within 1 business day.
- Satellite measurements — We pull satellite measurements of your roof before anyone sets a ladder against your house.
- Pricing options — We walk you through pricing options using the exact measurements: shingle or metal lines, ventilation, gutters and any extras.
- On-site inspection — We check the decking, attic ventilation and flashing in person before we finalize the price.
- Proposal — One all-inclusive proposal, e-signed in JobTread and good for 7 days.
- Install day — Tear-off, decking repairs as approved, underlayment, roofing, flashing and ventilation, step by step below.
- Cleanup and walkthrough — Daily cleanup and magnetic nail sweeps, then a final walkthrough with you.
- Warranty — Our one-year workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the materials.
What happens on roof day
- Protect the property — We lay plywood over the lawn and driveway where materials and equipment sit.
- Tear-off — The crew strips the old roof down to the decking and loads debris as it comes off.
- Decking — We check the decking and replace any sheets that are soft or rotted.
- Underlayment and flashing — Our typical spec is drip edge at the eaves and rakes, ice and water shield in the valleys and around chimneys and walls, synthetic underlayment over the rest of the deck, and new flashing and pipe boots, all per the shingle manufacturer’s instructions. Your proposal lists each component.
- Shingles and ridge — Shingles go on to the manufacturer’s specifications, followed by ridge cap and vents.
- Cleanup and nail sweep — We haul off the debris and run magnetic sweeps over the lawn, flower beds and driveway for stray nails.
Most homes take 1 to 3 days on site once materials arrive, depending on size, pitch and layers. Most roofs can start 2 to 6 weeks after you sign, and later in peak season and after big storms. Your proposal lists approximate start and completion dates, weather and material deliveries can move them, and any change shows up in your JobTread client portal.
Permits, insurance claims and gutters
Permits. We pull the permit and schedule the inspections. The permit cost and sales tax are built into our price.
Storm and hail damage. If a storm damaged your roof, we document the damage and meet your insurance adjuster on site. We never waive deductibles. Read more about storm damage and insurance claims.
Gutters. A new roof is a good time to replace tired gutters. We measure the eaves during the estimate so gutter pricing can come with the roof. See gutters.
Paying for a new roof
Roof replacements, including insurance roofs, are typically billed 75% at signing and 25% on completion. The deposit covers the materials we order for your roof. You can pay online through the invoice link, by check or in cash.
Warranty
Every roof we install carries our one-year workmanship warranty, starting at substantial completion. It covers problems that come from our installation. It doesn’t cover normal wear and tear, damage by others, or weather and acts of nature, so hail that hits after the install is an insurance matter, not a warranty one. Shingle defects fall under the manufacturer’s warranty, which passes through to you. Warranty visits are scheduled within 7 business days.
Contacted White Rock Construction about checking our roof for possible leaks. He came out the same day and checked it out. After sealing some holes he told us it was probably wind that blew up some shingles allowing the rain to come in. Friendly and honest service.

Who we’re not a fit for
We’d rather tell you now than waste your time or ours.
- The cheapest bid. If price is your only priority we likely aren't the right choice. You can always find a lower number. We price for specific quality materials, professional project management, plans & permits, proper insurance (liability & workers' comp) and livable wages for our crew.
- Small service calls. We don't take handyman jobs or small general repairs under about 4 hours. Roof repairs are a separate service.
- Standalone trade work. We don't do standalone HVAC, electrical or plumbing unless it's part of a larger design/build project.
