Modern Roof offers comprehensive roofing solutions tailored to both Bloomington area homeowners and businesses. As local roofing experts with years of experience serving Central Indiana, we understand the unique roofing challenges of our community. Our roofing services are designed to meet the diverse architectural needs of local properties, from historic neighborhoods to modern developments.

We specialize in a range of roofing options carefully selected to withstand Indiana’s specific climate conditions.

Duro-Last provides a special value proposition that other commercial low slope roofing materials just don’t have since 1978 and is only installed by authorized contractors, which includes Modern Roof. PVC is one of the longest lasting materials with industry-leading warranties. Your roof is pre-fabricated in the Duro-Last factory, including all the penetrations, and then assembled on your roof. It’s mechanically-fastened so you don’t have to worry about wind getting under it and becoming a huge sail. All the seams are like-materials and are welded together, saving you from getting leaks from adhesive issues. With 30-40-50 mil thickness options, Duro-Last is the premier solution for your roof. And if that’s not enough, Duro-Last can either be installed in a complete tear off with new insulation, or potentially, as a lay over. Let us assess your roof project and see if Duro-Last is a great fit for you also. 

Modern Roof is an experienced TPO Single Ply Roofing Contractor with Mule-hide TPO materials. Typically a 40 mil layer TPO, installed and fabricated on-site with all the penetrations fully reinforced and protected. Mule-hide has thousands of installations and a great reputation with being an affordable and reliable flat roof system.  TPO does require complete tear off of the existing roof down to the deck. We’ll install new insulation board and the TPO will be adhered to the ISO board.  In 2025, we expect to have a 2nd TPO supplier to expand our offering.  Keep in contact for the exciting news. 

Not every roof needs to be replaced. In some cases, we can extend the life of the existing roof by 5-10 years by coating it with leading edge coatings from the Karnak Corporation. We typically install elastomeric or silicon coatings. Silicone is great for areas that are ponding water, but it is more expensive than acrylic coatings.  But with 80% of the potential leaks to occur at seams or penetrations, Karnak coatings can be a great solution to keep your building dry and protected. 

As Bloomington’s premier roofing specialists, we exclusively install Malarkey Roofing Products’ SBS modified asphalt shingles, setting a new standard for durability in Central Indiana’s challenging weather conditions. Unlike traditional oxidized asphalt shingles that quickly deteriorate under Bloomington’s intense summers and unpredictable storm seasons, Malarkey’s polymer-modified shingles provide superior resilience and long-lasting protection for your home. Our commitment to quality means we’ve chosen a roofing solution that offers exceptional granule adhesion, enhanced impact resistance, and better flexibility—critical factors for Bloomington homeowners and business owners area who demand superior roof performance.

Malarkey’s innovative SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) technology ensures your roof can better withstand temperature fluctuations, from scorching July heat to freezing January nights, making these shingles an ideal choice for Indiana’s diverse climate. By selecting these premium shingles, Bloomington business owners can expect improved energy efficiency, enhanced curb appeal, and a roofing system designed to protect their most valuable asset against everything our local weather can throw its way.

For Bloomington homeowners seeking a distinctive and elegant roofing solution, cedar and synthetic shake options offer unparalleled architectural charm and performance tailored to Central Indiana’s unique climate challenges. Traditional cedar shake roofs bring a timeless, rustic elegance to homes in neighborhoods from Meridian-Kessler to Broad Ripple, while modern synthetic alternatives provide the same aesthetic appeal with dramatically improved durability and maintenance requirements.

Our synthetic shake options deliver the classic wood-like appearance that Bloomington homeowners love, but with enhanced resistance to Bloomington’s fluctuating weather conditions—preventing common issues like warping, moss growth, and rapid deterioration that plague traditional cedar roofing in our region. Synthetic shakes are engineered to withstand Indiana’s extreme temperature swings, from scorching summer heat to freezing winter winds, offering superior impact resistance and a Class A fire rating that provides additional peace of mind for local homeowners.

Whether you’re preserving the historical character of a Downtown Bloomington craftsman home or adding architectural sophistication to a suburban new build, our cedar and synthetic shake roofing solutions combine aesthetic beauty with unmatched performance specifically designed for the unique environmental demands of Central Indiana.

Modern Roof sets itself apart from other roofing companies that are still installing products developed over 100 years ago. There have been great strides made for better technology in the last 20-50 years that most companies just don’t promote. We’ve chosen to build our company on them.  Get the best in product technology and get treated professionally with the respect you deserve from one of the best teams in the business.
