Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection
A roof inspection on a La Fontaine home is a full walk of the surface, not a glance from the driveway. Our crew checks shingle condition (bruising, cracking, curling, granule loss), flashing at chimneys and sidewalls, valleys, ridge and hip lines, penetrations around vents and pipes, and gutters for shingle debris that signals wear. We look for the specific fingerprints of wind lift, hail strikes, and simple age fatigue, then document everything with photos so you see what we see. La Fontaine homes tend to carry mature tree canopy that hides trouble spots, and small issues left alone become expensive ones. A thorough inspection catches the problem while it is still a repair, not a replacement.

Gutters keep the honest record of a La Fontaine roof's age. The granules that wash down with every rain are the shingle's wear surface leaving a little at a time, and a heavy season of grit in the downspout splash means the mat beneath is starting to show. Wabash homeowners read their roofs from the ground all the time. They are just usually reading the wrong end of the system.
Pre listing roof letters from La Fontaine Roofing get written honestly, because our name is on them and the La Fontaine closing table checks. Condition documented, remaining life estimated, repairs itemized where they exist. Sellers negotiate from records instead of from the buyer inspector's adjectives, and across Wabash the honest letter has saved more deals than the flattering one ever could.
Just need a tarp, fast, from someone who will not disappear after? La Fontaine Roofing runs standalone emergency tarping across La Fontaine, including roofs we did not install and will not be quoting. Call (765) 703-8133. The interim protection goes on right, the photos go in your file, and across Wabash the tarp visit comes with zero pitch attached.

La Fontaine Roofing was founded by Aaron Christy in 2018 and has spent years doing roofing work across central Indiana, including La Fontaine and the surrounding Wabash County communities. We also serve homeowners in nearby Wabash, Marion, Mount Etna, Van Buren, Swayzee, and Huntington, which keeps our crews familiar with the mix of older homes and newer builds this part of the state carries. Every crew on a La Fontaine roof is licensed and insured under Indiana license RC21100059, and Aaron has been featured on FOX59, WISH TV, and RTV6 for the company's storm response work. When you call, you get people who know these roofs and this weather.
The way we work in La Fontaine is straightforward. A crew climbs the roof, walks the whole surface, and documents shingle condition, flashing, valleys, penetrations, and any storm or age damage with photos you can actually see. From there you get a written estimate with a clear scope, honest line items, and no pressure to sign on the spot. On the job itself, we protect the property, keep the site tidy, and finish clean so the yard looks the way we found it. No invented certifications, no brochure talk, just careful roofing and a paper trail you can hand to anyone.

What La Fontaine Homeowners Get From Us
Serving La Fontaine and Wabash with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.
Storm And Hail Response
Wabash County sits in a corridor that sees repeated hail and straight line wind events from spring through fall. When storms roll through, we prioritize inspections for homeowners with visible damage, tarping exposed decking when it is needed. You get photo documentation of every impact mark, lifted shingle, and torn flashing detail so nothing gets missed.
We Know These Homes
La Fontaine has a lot of pre-1950 housing with steeper pitches, complex hip and gable combinations, and multiple past shingle cycles. That is not the same job as a modern subdivision ranch. Our crews have worked on older La Fontaine roofs and know where the trouble spots hide on Victorian era and Craftsman era rooflines.
Inspection Through Completion
One company handles the whole arc. Free inspection with photos, written estimate, the actual roofing work, and a final walkthrough when it is done. You are not passed between a salesperson, a crew you never meet, and a phone number that stops answering after the check clears.
Insurance Documentation Done Right
If a La Fontaine roof took storm damage, the claim lives or dies on documentation. We photograph damage clearly, write scopes that line up with what an adjuster needs to see, and are willing to be on the roof with your adjuster during the inspection. That is often the difference between a denied claim and an approved one.

From First Call to Final Nail in La Fontaine
It starts with an on site inspection of your La Fontaine roof. A crew member walks the surface, checks shingles, flashing, valleys, and penetrations, and looks for storm damage, age wear, and anything that is going to become a bigger problem in the next season or two. Everything gets photographed so you can see the actual condition, not just take our word for it. Before any work is discussed, you get a clear picture of what the roof needs, whether that is a targeted repair, a section rebuild, or a full replacement. No high pressure, no scare tactics.
Next comes the estimate and, if a storm is involved, the insurance side. You get an honest written estimate with a clear scope and line items that make sense. If the damage on your La Fontaine home is claimable, we help you document it properly for your insurance carrier and are glad to meet the adjuster on site so everyone is looking at the same roof. works with your insurance carrier and we do not name drop policies we cannot speak to, but we make sure what actually happened up there is on the record.
Once the scope and any claim are settled, we schedule the work. The crew shows up when we say we will, protects landscaping and siding around the La Fontaine home with tarps and plywood where it makes sense, and works cleanly through tear off, decking checks, underlayment, flashing, and shingles. When the roof is done, we do a final walkthrough with you, go over what was installed, sweep the driveway and yard with magnets for stray nails, and haul off the debris. You are left with a finished roof and a clean property.

What we see most often on La Fontaine roofs
La Fontaine homeowners typically call us about these scenarios.
Two Layers of Shingles on the Roof
A second layer laid over the first hides the decking, adds weight, and runs hotter than a single layer, which shortens both. La Fontaine homes that were reroofed this way in the past need a full tear off next time. La Fontaine Roofing tells you how many layers are up there during the free inspection so the number is not a surprise inside the quote.
Gutters Pulling Away From the Fascia
When gutters sag in La Fontaine, the usual cause is not the gutter. It is fascia board that has softened because water has been running behind it. La Fontaine Roofing checks the fascia and the drip edge before quoting gutter work, because rehanging a gutter on rotten wood buys you one season.
Algae Streaking on the North Slope
Those black streaks running down shaded La Fontaine slopes are airborne algae feeding on the limestone filler in the shingle mat. They are cosmetic at first and hold moisture against the surface over time. La Fontaine Roofing tells you plainly whether the roof needs cleaning, algae resistant shingles at replacement, or nothing at all yet.
Step Flashing at Dormers and Sidewalls
Where a slope runs into a sidewall, the flashing has to be individual L-shaped pieces woven in with the shingle courses, not one long strip tucked behind the siding. The long strip looks right from the driveway and rots the wall from behind. La Fontaine Roofing rebuilds the detail piece by piece and adds a kick-out at the bottom so runoff lands in the gutter.
Hail Damage You Cannot See From the Ground
Hail bruises the shingle mat and knocks granules loose without leaving obvious holes, and that damage ages a roof years ahead of schedule. In La Fontaine hail claims, documentation quality decides the outcome. La Fontaine Roofing maps impacts slope by slope with photos and attends the adjuster meeting so covered damage gets counted, not argued away.
Wind Damage Along the Roof Edges
Rakes and eaves take the highest uplift in a La Fontaine wind event, which is why damage starts at the perimeter and works inward. Starter course and drip edge decide whether the field holds. La Fontaine Roofing inspects the edges first after a storm and documents lifted starter before it becomes missing field shingles.

Our Most Asked La Fontaine Roofing Questions
Straight answers to the questions La Fontaine homeowners ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Roofs Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. La Fontaine homeowners deal with spring hail and severe thunderstorms, summer UV exposure, fall wind storms, and winter freeze thaw cycles. Understanding these patterns is how we plan maintenance, repairs, and replacement work.
Hail Bruising Shingles
Wabash County hail seasons leave more than dented gutters. Hail impacts bruise asphalt shingles, cracking the mat under the surface even when the top looks intact, which shortens roof life and opens leak paths. On a La Fontaine inspection we mark each impact, photograph it, and document what an adjuster will want to see.
Wind Lifting Shingles
Straight line winds in this stretch of Indiana routinely lift and tear shingles, especially on the steeper pitches and complex rooflines common to older La Fontaine homes. Once the seal breaks, the shingle flaps in the next storm and eventually tears free, exposing the underlayment. We reseal, replace, and re anchor damaged fields and check the surrounding rows that took the same wind load.
Ice Dams In Winter
When warm attic air melts snow on the upper roof and it refreezes at the cold eave, water backs up under the shingles and finds its way inside. Older homes with uneven insulation are the usual victims. Our crew addresses the ice dam damage on the roof itself, replaces compromised shingles and flashing, and points out ventilation issues driving the problem.
Granule Loss On Aging Roofs
A lot of La Fontaine housing stock is on its second or third shingle cycle, and roofs approaching the 20 to 25 year mark start shedding granules into the gutters. Once the granules go, UV cooks the asphalt underneath and the shingle fails fast. We measure the wear, show you what is in the gutter, and lay out honest options.
Choosing the Right Roof for La Fontaine Homes
An honest breakdown of the three systems we install most frequently.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice on La Fontaine homes for good reason. They balance cost, curb appeal, and dependable performance in Indiana weather, and they come in a wide range of colors and profiles that work on everything from a Craftsman bungalow to a newer ranch. Manufacturer warranties on architectural lines are strong, and the thicker profile handles wind and hail better than older three tab shingles. For most homeowners looking at a full replacement, this tier delivers the best value per year of service life without stretching the budget. It is a proven, honest choice.
Impact resistant Class 4 shingles are built to take the hail that bruises and cracks standard asphalt. Given La Fontaine's hail and spring storm exposure, they are worth a real look, especially if you have already replaced a roof once after a hail event. The reinforced mat holds granules longer, which extends the useful life of the roof under repeated hits. Ask your insurance carrier whether your policy offers a premium credit for Class 4 shingles, since many do, though we cannot promise a discount on your specific policy. The upfront cost is higher, and for storm prone properties it often pays back.
Standing seam metal roofs carry the longest service life of the three options, often several decades with minimal upkeep. Concealed fasteners mean no exposed screws to back out and leak over time, and the smooth panels shed snow and ice cleanly, which reduces ice dam risk on the older La Fontaine rooflines that hold snow. The tradeoff is honest, upfront cost is meaningfully higher than asphalt. What you are buying is decades of low maintenance and a roof that is likely the last one the home will need for a very long time. It is a long horizon investment.
