Roofing in Huntington, Indiana
We repair and replace roofs in Huntington, Indiana, where the median home was built in 1954 and about 39% of houses are older than 1940. Under the city's permit list, re-shingling a house there doesn't need a permit.
What's under an old Huntington roof
Nearly three in four Huntington homes were built before 1980, and more than half before 1960. On a house that age, the shingles you see may sit on top of an older layer, and Indiana's code doesn't allow a third, so those roofs get a full tear-off.
Many older houses also have a roof deck made of boards rather than plywood sheets. Once the old shingles are off, we check those boards for rot and gaps and cover them with new sheathing where the new shingles need a solid base. Your quote lists a per-sheet price, so the cost of that is clear before we start.
Permits
Huntington's summary of residential work that needs a permit leaves out re-shingling. Structural roof work, such as new rafters or a change in pitch, does need one, through Community Development at 260-356-5146.
Historic review
The city's Historic Review Board reviews outside changes the public can see for one local district, Drover Town (11 properties on Henry Street and South Jefferson Street), plus 15 locally listed single sites. If your house is one of those, talk to the board before a roof changes color or material. The National Register districts, such as Old Plat and North Jefferson, don't need approval just for being listed.
