Types of Residential Roofs We Install

Modern Roof offers comprehensive roofing solutions tailored to Indianapolis 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.

Asphalt Shingles

As Indianapolis’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 Indianapolis’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 homeowners in the greater Indianapolis metropolitan 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, Indianapolis homeowners 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.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing has become an increasingly popular choice for Indianapolis homeowners seeking a durable, long-lasting roofing solution that can withstand the extreme weather variations of Central Indiana.

Our expert team specializes in custom metal roof installations that provide unparalleled protection against Indianapolis’s challenging climate—from heavy summer thunderstorms to winter ice and snow. We have both standing seam metal roofs and exposed fastener metal roofs.  Unlike traditional roofing materials, metal roofs offer exceptional durability, with most systems lasting 40-70 years, making them a smart long-term investment for property owners in the greater Indianapolis area.

We meticulously select high-quality metal roofing materials that are engineered to reflect solar radiant heat, potentially reducing cooling costs during Indiana’s hot summer months and providing superior energy efficiency for local homeowners. Our metal roofing solutions come in a variety of styles and colors, allowing Indianapolis residents to enhance their home’s aesthetic appeal while enjoying the ultimate in roof protection, noise reduction, and environmental sustainability.

Cedar and Synthetic Shake

For Indianapolis 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 Indianapolis homeowners love, but with enhanced resistance to Indianapolis’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 Indianapolis 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.

Low Slope or Flat Roofing

For Indiana homeowners that have a flat roof or a low-sloped roof, it may be better to use rolled asphalt-based roofing or a single ply roof membrane like TPO or PVC. We have those options as well. Low sloped roofs carry a higher opportunity for leaks, so we encourage homeowners to pay special attention to the products and the company they use in those areas, whether it was an add on or a porch or a just a contemporary roof.

Many asphalt shingle companies offer a rolled roofing option for slopes below 2/12 pitch, but only Malarkey offers it in the same SBS-modified material as their shingles. It’s a complete system with a fully-adhered ice & water underlayment on the entire section prior to installing the Malarkey OmniSeal System. It is very common to have wind and rain coming back in under the shingles installed on a low-slope application. You can rest assured that our system will be 100% watertight. No more leaks.  

If you have a contemporary low slope or a flat roof, we can offer a few options to get a great roof solution using our TPO or PVC roof system. Both are great products and offer reliable solutions for a long lasting protective covering for your treasured home and possessions. Let our professional roof advisors assess and give you the best options for your particular situation.
