Roofing Contractor in Dyer, Indiana

Dyer’s signature stock is 1980s-90s colonials and two-stories with steep, multi-gable roofs, plywood or OSB decking, and original architectural or heavy three-tab shingles now near the end of their run. As these roofs age we find granule loss, brittle shingles, and undersized or failing gutters that let water sheet against fascia and foundations, which is why so many replacements here pair the roof with a full gutter package.

Our scope includes a complete tear-off, decking inspection and repair, new underlayment with ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, upgraded flashing, and balanced ridge-and-soffit ventilation, plus seamless gutters sized to the roof’s drainage. Handling the shingles, flashing and gutters as one system is what keeps these larger roofs and their walls dry through the freeze-thaw season.

We work throughout Dyer near landmarks like Pheasant Hills Park, the Monastery of the Immaculate Conception, and the shops along US-30 and Calumet Avenue. On a colonial near Castlewood, a homeowner replacing original shingles added guarded seamless gutters at the same time; the coordinated roof-and-gutter job solved chronic overflow at the front entry.

Run the numbers on Dyer’s signature stock and a wave is obvious: the two-story colonials that filled Castlewood, Pheasant Hills, and Pointe Del Mar in the late 1980s and 1990s went up under 25- and 30-year architectural shingles that are now at or past that mark. On these steep, multi-gable roofs the failures start where the planes meet — the long valleys that funnel every square foot of runoff — so our tear-offs carry ice-and-water shield up the full length of each valley and across the eaves, not just a token strip. Pairing that with fresh step flashing at the many wall transitions is what keeps a big Dyer roof watertight through freeze-thaw.

On Dyer’s steep colonials the detail most often botched by the original builder is the kickout flashing — the small diverter where a roof edge meets a sidewall just above a gutter. Without it, runoff pours straight down the wall behind the siding, and on the Meadow Lane and Northgate two-stories we routinely trace a soft, stained wall corner back to that one missing piece. Every tear-off here is the moment to fix it: we install a proper kickout at each roof-to-wall termination so water is thrown into the gutter, not into the wall cavity. It is a small piece of metal that prevents a genuinely expensive repair.
