Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection
A roof inspection in Kempton is where every job with Kempton Roofing starts, and it's free with no obligation. Our crew walks the roof and checks the shingles for cracking, curling, lifted tabs, and granule loss, then looks at flashing around chimneys, vents, valleys, and step transitions where leaks quietly begin. We check the decking for soft spots, look for storm bruising from hail, and note any wind damage or debris impact from the mature trees common on Kempton lots. Everything gets documented with photos so you can see what we see. Catching a lifted shingle or a tired flashing joint early keeps a small roof problem in Kempton from turning into an expensive one after the next round of storms.
I agree to be contacted by Kempton Roofing regarding my inquiry.
Storm evidence has a shelf life on a Kempton roof. Hail marks weather smooth, lifted shingles reseal or tear away, and the granules that told the story wash down the gutters. Carriers date claims from the storm, not the discovery, and a Tipton homeowner who waits a year to look is often documenting a roof the weather has already tidied up.
Gutters, fascia, and drip edge get treated as one system on Kempton Roofing roofs, because on a Kempton home the roof edge drains or decays as a unit. Drip edge over the gutter back on every eave, fascia probed where stains suggest history, and gutters rehung at the pitch that actually moves water. Tipton edges built as systems stop generating the rot that keeps getting blamed on the wrong part.
Small repair, honest invoice. Kempton Roofing welcomes the jobs other Kempton roofers will not drive out for: the cracked pipe boot, the wind lifted tabs, the nail pop scatter over the bedroom. Real crew, photos of the fix, invoice sized to the work. Call (812) 515-1567. Across Tipton, the small repairs are how we earn the big ones.

Local Expertise, Real Results
Attic ventilation gets checked before the shingles go on, because the new roof has to breathe too.
Ventilation is the part of the roof nobody sees and everything depends on. Kempton Roofing calculates intake and exhaust on every Kempton scope, because a starved attic cooks shingles from below and voids warranties from the fine print.
Kempton Roofing serves Kempton and the wider Tipton County area, including nearby Sharpsville, Windfall, Goldsmith, Tipton, Kokomo, and Elwood.

Our crews are local, licensed, and insured, and we understand the mix of older homes that make up much of Kempton's housing stock. When you call, you get people who know Tipton County roofs and the weather that batters them.
The way we work in Kempton is straightforward.

If the shingles are too far gone to justify patching, we say that too, and we walk you through the replacement options without pressure. Clean workmanship on the roof, careful attention to flashing and problem areas, and a jobsite left tidy at the end are the baseline, not extras.

Storm And Hail Response
Central Indiana gets pounded by hail, straight line winds, and tornado warned storms from spring through early fall. When a system rolls through, we prioritize storm calls, get on the roof, and document damage while it's fresh. That gives you a clear picture of what happened before shingles start hiding it.
Built For Kempton Homes
A lot of Kempton's houses are Foursquares, farmhouse gables, and Craftsman cottages with steeper pitches and older decking underneath. We've worked on this style of roof throughout Tipton County and know where the weak points show up. That means fewer surprises mid project and a scope you can trust.
Inspection Through Completion
You get one crew from the first walkthrough to the final cleanup. Inspection, written estimate, scheduling, tear off or repair, and a walkthrough at the end are all handled by Kempton Roofing. Nothing gets tossed over the fence to a stranger halfway through the job.
Insurance Documentation Done Right
If your Kempton roof took storm damage, the paperwork matters as much as the shingles. We photograph the damage in detail, write up findings clearly, and give you documentation you can hand to your insurance carrier and adjuster. That keeps the claim conversation grounded in what's actually on your roof.

What Comes First on a Kempton Roof
The first step is the inspection. A Kempton Roofing crew comes out to your Kempton home, walks the roof, and looks at the shingles, flashing, valleys, penetrations, and any signs of storm or age damage. We take photos as we go so you can see the condition without climbing a ladder yourself. Once we're done, we sit down with you and explain what we found in plain language, including areas that are still fine and areas that need attention. No scope is written until we've actually looked at your roof.
Next comes the estimate. You get an honest written estimate in Kempton that lists the work, the materials, and the price without vague line items. If there's storm damage and you plan to file a claim, we hand you the photo documentation and written findings to share with your insurance carrier. We'll meet the adjuster on the roof when that helps, and we work through the scope with you and your carrier. We don't works with your insurance carrier, and we don't name drop policies we can't influence.
Then comes the work. We schedule the job around your availability and the weather window, and the crew shows up with the materials and protection in place for landscaping, siding, and windows on your Kempton property. Tear off, deck inspection, underlayment, flashing, and shingle installation are done in sequence, cleanly. When the roofing is finished, we do a final walkthrough with you, run a magnet for stray nails, and haul off debris. You should be able to tell we were there only by looking up.

What we see most often on Kempton roofs
Kempton homeowners typically call us about these scenarios.
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. Kempton Roofing rebuilds the detail piece by piece and adds a kick-out at the bottom so runoff lands in the gutter.
Ice Dams Backing Water Under Shingles
When a Kempton attic runs warm, snow melts, refreezes at the cold eave, and dams water back under the shingles where it finds nail holes and seams. The shingles are usually fine; the ventilation and insulation are not. Kempton Roofing addresses the cause with ventilation correction and ice and water shield coverage, not just the ceiling stain.
Roof Leaking After a Storm
Wind lifts shingle tabs and breaks seal strips, and the leak often shows up rooms away from the entry point as water tracks along decking and framing. Kempton storms produce exactly this call every spring. Kempton Roofing traces the actual entry point, documents wind damage to carrier standards, and repairs the field, not just the stain on the ceiling.
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 Kempton hail claims, documentation quality decides the outcome. Kempton Roofing maps impacts slope by slope with photos and attends the adjuster meeting so covered damage gets counted, not argued away.
Bathroom Vents Ducted Into the Attic
A bath fan that exhausts into attic space instead of through the roof puts warm wet air against the underside of the deck every day. Homeowners find it when the plywood darkens or the insulation mats down. Kempton Roofing looks for it during the roof inspection and flags it, because it is a roof problem even though it starts in a bathroom.
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. Kempton homes that were reroofed this way in the past need a full tear off next time. Kempton Roofing tells you how many layers are up there during the free inspection so the number is not a surprise inside the quote.

Reviews from Kempton Tear Offs
4.9 stars across 2,307+ Google reviews.
"Repair on a pipe boot leak that another contractor wanted to upsell into a partial replacement. They fixed the actual problem for $400. Honest, fair, professional."
"Respect for the property. Clean install. The crew managed landscaping protection carefully and left no debris behind. Cleanup was thorough."
"Designer shingle install: Owens Corning Berkshire in a slate-look profile. The crew was meticulous about shadow alignment and the finished roof completely changed the look of the home. Manufacturer warranty in our name with all documentation delivered."
"Hail damage replacement after the spring storm. They worked directly with our insurance carrier, documented the damage thoroughly, and made the claim process simple. Replacement completed within three weeks of the storm."
"After two other contractors gave different diagnoses on the same leak, this crew traced it back to the actual source (ridge vent flashing, not the visible water stain area). Fixed it correctly the first time."
Kempton Roofing Questions
Straight answers to the questions Kempton homeowners ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Roofs Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Kempton 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 On Shingles
Tipton County sits in a corridor that regularly sees hail during spring and summer storms. Hail impacts bruise and crack asphalt shingles, knocking granules loose and shortening the roof's remaining life even when the damage isn't obvious from the ground. When we're called in, we walk the roof, mark impacts, and photograph the pattern for you and your carrier.
Wind Lifting Shingles
Straight line winds in the Kempton area can lift and tear shingle tabs, break seal strips, and expose the underlayment. Once a shingle is unsealed, the next storm peels it further and water finds a path underneath. We check seals, replace torn shingles, and re secure the field so the roof doesn't unravel one storm at a time.
Ice Dams In Winter
Indiana winters bring freeze thaw cycles that push snowmelt up under shingles when heat escapes the attic and refreezes at the eaves. Ice dams back water up behind the shingle line and into the deck. We inspect the eaves, valleys, and flashing, and address the damaged sections so the next thaw doesn't do more harm.
Granule Loss On Aging Roofs
Many roofs in Kempton are older asphalt shingles well past their prime, and you'll see the granules in the gutters and downspouts. Once the granules go, the mat underneath cooks in the sun and the shingle brittles out. We evaluate remaining life honestly and tell you whether targeted repair or full replacement makes more sense.
Choosing the Right Roof for Kempton Homes
An honest breakdown of the three systems we install most frequently.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice for Kempton roofs and for good reason. They balance cost, curb appeal, and dependable weather performance, and they hold up well to the mix of wind, rain, and heat central Indiana throws at them. You get a wide range of colors and profiles, which suits the older Foursquares and farmhouse styles around town without looking out of place. Manufacturer warranties on architectural shingles are strong, and when installed correctly with proper flashing and ventilation, they deliver a long, predictable service life. For most Kempton homeowners, this tier is the sensible starting point.
Impact resistant Class 4 shingles are built to take hail that would bruise or crack standard asphalt. Given how often the Kempton area sits under severe thunderstorm and hail warnings from April through September, upgrading to Class 4 can extend the practical life of your roof and slow granule loss from repeated hits. The upfront cost is higher than standard architectural shingles, but many homeowners find it worth the tradeoff in a hail prone corridor. Ask your insurance carrier whether your policy offers a premium credit for Class 4 materials. Policies vary, so it's a question worth asking before you sign the estimate.
Standing seam metal has the longest service life of the three options, often several decades with minimal upkeep. The fasteners are concealed, the panels shed snow and ice cleanly, and there are far fewer weak points where wind or water can work in over time. The upfront cost is meaningfully higher than asphalt, and that's the honest tradeoff. What you're buying is decades of low maintenance and a roof that generally outlasts the homeowner who installed it. For Kempton owners who plan to stay put and want to stop thinking about the roof, standing seam is worth a conversation.
