Common roofs and code notes in Indiana
Asphalt shingles are the most common roof, with metal growing in popularity. Snow and freeze-thaw cycles make ice dams the classic problem, and the residential code requires an ice barrier at the eaves where ice damming is a known risk.[3] Spring and summer storms bring hail and straight-line wind. Permits come from your city, village, or county building department.

Check before you sign
The FTC advises hiring only licensed and insured contractors, confirming the license with your state or county, getting more than one written estimate, never signing over your insurance check, and never paying in full up front or by cash, wire, gift card, or crypto. [4]
