Diagnosis Before Sales: The Cardinal Standard

Most roofing contractors start with a sales pitch. We start with documented evidence, so you have full visual clarity and line-item transparency before you commit to anything.

01

Document the Real Condition

Field technicians capture timestamped, high-resolution photos of shingle wear, flashing vulnerabilities, ventilation deficiencies and gutter alignment.

02

Protect the Entire System

A durable roof is more than new shingles. We evaluate and fortify the whole assembly, from drip edges and underlayment to pipe boots and ventilation.

03

Decide with Confidence

You get a written report of our findings. If a repair can safely extend your roof's life, we recommend it. If replacement is needed, you get a line-item scope with no hidden costs.

1-Day Installation

The 1-Day Installation Standard

For qualifying homes, we complete tear-off, decking inspection, whole-system installation and site cleanup in a single day. That comes from crew staging, material preparation and field logistics, never from cutting corners.

Emergency leak repair

Stop the Water First. Then Find the Cause.

Every emergency call follows the same order: contain the leak to protect your interior, then trace it back to the exact point of entry. Call (317) 961-8441 for immediate dispatch.

Stage 1 · Immediate

Active Leak Containment

  • Temporary tarping & water isolation
  • Interior ceiling & attic protection
  • Prevention of structural deck rot

Stage 2 · Diagnostic

Comprehensive Repair Diagnostic

  • High-resolution photo inspection
  • Flashing & pipe boot leak tracing
  • Written repair-vs-replace analysis

While You Wait for Your Technician

Isolate interior water flow

Set buckets under drips. If water is pooling in a drywall ceiling, carefully puncture the center of the bulge with a small nail to relieve pressure and prevent a sudden collapse.

Clear perimeter access

Move vehicles, patio furniture and outdoor items away from the exterior beneath the leak so the crew can place ladders and deploy tarps right away.

Document interior damage

Take timestamped photos and video of affected ceilings, walls and floors for your records before mitigation begins.

Stay off the roof

Wet shingles and compromised decking are serious fall hazards. Our technicians use professional harnesses and staging equipment.

Objective diagnostic

Targeted Repair vs. Full Replacement

An active leak does not automatically mean you need a new roof. We pinpoint the exact point of entry and present clear facts, backed by an annotated photo report, so you can make an informed decision.

Repair

When a targeted repair works

  • Isolated pipe boot or flashing crack
  • Wind-detached shingles on a single slope
  • Sound underlying decking and membrane

Replace

When full replacement is required

  • Widespread granule loss and exposed matting
  • Multiple active leaks across slopes
  • Soft, rotted or sagging decking

FAQ

Roof Questions, Answered

How do I know if my roof needs a full replacement or just a repair?

Our condition assessment decides it. If granules are mostly intact, flashing is secure and the leak is limited to one pipe boot or flashing joint, a targeted repair is often right. If matting is exposed, granule loss is widespread or decking is degraded across several slopes, a full replacement is needed for long-term integrity.

How do you handle damaged wood decking found during tear-off?

We inspect every square foot of decking once the old shingles are off. Rotted, soft or water-damaged boards are photographed, you are notified right away, and the wood is replaced at transparent per-sheet pricing before the synthetic underlayment goes on.

What is the difference between your workmanship warranty and manufacturer coverage?

Manufacturer warranties cover defects in the shingles themselves, such as thermal splitting or manufacturing flaws. Cardinal's workmanship warranty covers installation quality: flashing, underlayment, valley lining and ventilation installed correctly and watertight.

What financing options are available?

We work with approved third-party lenders, including GoodLeap, Service Finance, Hearth and PowerPay. Options include $0-down plans, monthly payment targets from $94 to $149, and 120-month fixed-rate plans (8.99%–9.99% APR). All terms are disclosed in writing during your scope consultation. Financing is subject to credit approval.

What happens if severe weather hits on my installation date?

If rain or high winds are forecast, we reschedule to the next clear window. If unexpected rain arrives during tear-off, the crew immediately seals the deck with commercial-grade synthetic tarps.
