Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection
A proper roof inspection in Mellott is more than a quick look from the driveway. Our crew gets up on the roof and walks it, checking shingle condition, granule loss, cracked or lifted tabs, nail pops, flashing around chimneys and vents, valleys, drip edge, and any soft spots in the decking. We photograph everything we find, good and bad, and put it in front of you so you can see the roof the way we see it. A lot of Mellott homes have been through decades of hail, wind, and freeze cycles, and small problems left alone become expensive ones. Catching a lifted piece of flashing or a cracked shingle now is a fraction of the cost of chasing an interior leak later.
I agree to be contacted by Mellott Roofing regarding my inquiry.
Nothing accelerates Mellott roof decisions like a purchase agreement. The inspection report lands, the roof line items multiply, and repairs that could have been planned across seasons become a bargaining chip in someone else's negotiation. Fountain sellers who documented their roofs early negotiate from records. The ones who did not negotiate from whatever the buyer's inspector wrote.
Mellott Roofing starts every Mellott roof conversation in the attic, because that is where roofs tell the truth. Sheathing stains map old leaks, nail lines show condensation history, and daylight where daylight should not be settles arguments the driveway view started. Fountain homeowners get the findings photographed and explained before anyone talks price, because a scope built on evidence is the only kind worth signing.

Call (765) 703-8133 before the site visit. Across Fountain, a roof that answers questions before they are asked is the difference between approved and argued.

What we see most often on Mellott roofs
Mellott homeowners typically call us about these scenarios.
Skylight Staining the Ceiling Below
A skylight that leaks is usually a flashing kit that has outlived the roof around it, not a failed unit. Mellott Roofing reflashes Mellott skylights to the manufacturer detail or replaces aged units with your sign off, and either way the decking around the curb gets checked while the opening is exposed.
Missing or Lifted Shingles
A few missing tabs after a Mellott wind event usually mean the surrounding shingles broke their seal too, including the ones still lying flat. Spot replacing only what blew off leaves the slope open to the next front. Mellott Roofing checks seal integrity across the whole area and quotes the repair that actually holds through the next season.
Attic That Runs Hot in Summer
An attic well above outdoor temperature is cooking the shingles from underneath and shortening the roof from the side nobody inspects. Intake and exhaust have to be balanced, not just present. Mellott Roofing measures both, calculates what the attic actually needs, and explains why the shingle warranty depends on it.
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. Mellott Roofing rebuilds the detail piece by piece and adds a kick-out at the bottom so runoff lands in the gutter.
Holes Left by Dish and Panel Mounts
Anything bolted to a roof puts a hole through it, and that hole is only as good as what went in around it. Dish and panel installers often shoot a lag straight through the shingle and cover it with a dab of sealant, which holds until the sealant cracks. Mellott Roofing finds abandoned mounts on Mellott inspections, flashes or patches the opening properly, and checks the decking below it.
Previous Repairs Done With Roofing Cement
A black smear over a flashing joint is a repair that hides the problem rather than solving it. The cement cracks, traps water behind itself, and the damage underneath keeps going. Mellott Roofing opens up sealed areas during inspection so you find out what was actually done to the roof before you bought the house.

What Mellott Said at the Walkthrough
4.9 stars across 2,307+ Google reviews.
"Roof inspection for our home sale. The report was detailed enough that buyers accepted it as part of due diligence without ordering their own. Saved us about a week of closing time."
"Inspected our home before purchase. Caught two items we used in negotiation that saved us more than the inspection took to schedule. Plus the report gave us confidence the roof had real life left."
"Quick repair on storm damage that got us through hail season. They recommended a full inspection in spring which we have scheduled. No upsell on the immediate repair."
What Mellott Homeowners Ask Most
Straight answers to the questions Mellott homeowners ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Roofs Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Mellott 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 and Cracked Shingles
Fountain County sits in a corridor where spring and summer supercells drop hail on a regular schedule. Hail bruises the mat under the shingle and cracks the surface, dropping granules and shortening the life of the roof. When we inspect a Mellott roof after a hailstorm, we mark each impact, photograph it, and give you a report you can hand to your insurance carrier.
Wind Lifting and Tearing Shingles
High wind gusts in Mellott lift shingle tabs and break the seal strips that hold the courses down. Once that seal is broken, water finds its way underneath and the next storm rips tabs off entirely. We look for creased shingles, missing tabs, and exposed nails, then repair or replace based on how far the damage has spread.
Ice Dams Under Shingles
Indiana winters swing between thaw and freeze, and warm attics push meltwater to the eaves where it refreezes into ice dams. Water backs up under the shingles and finds its way past the drip edge into the sheathing and ceilings. We check attic ventilation and eave conditions and repair the affected roofing so the same failure does not repeat next winter.
Granule Loss on Aging Roofs
A lot of Mellott roofs are running on 3-tab shingles from the 1990s or early 2000s, and the granules that protect the asphalt have been washing into the gutters for years. Once the granules are gone, UV cooks the mat and shingles curl, crack, and fail. If we find heavy granule loss during an inspection, we talk honestly about whether targeted repair or full replacement is the smarter call.
Choosing the Right Roof for Mellott Homes
An honest breakdown of the three systems we install most frequently.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice for Mellott homes, and for good reason. They balance cost, curb appeal, and dependable weather performance, with dimensional profiles that look far better than the old 3-tabs many of these houses still wear. Color ranges are wide, so whether your farmhouse leans traditional or your ranch takes a lighter palette, there is a match. Manufacturer warranties on architectural shingles are strong, typically running decades against defects, and paired with our workmanship warranty you get real protection. For most homeowners in town replacing a roof that has aged out, architectural asphalt is the sensible starting point.
Class 4 impact resistant shingles are built to take the hail that bruises and cracks standard asphalt. Given the hail history along the western Indiana storm corridor, they are worth a serious look for Mellott homeowners who have already been through one claim and do not want another. The reinforced mat holds up under impact, and the granules tend to stay put longer, extending the useful life of the roof. Ask your insurance carrier whether your policy offers a premium credit for a Class 4 roof, some do and some do not, but the question is worth the phone call. The upfront cost runs above architectural, and for hail prone properties the math often works out.
Standing seam metal is the longest service option we install, with concealed fasteners and panels that shed snow, ice, and rain cleanly off the low to moderate pitches common on Mellott homes. Upkeep is minimal, the finish holds color for decades, and you are essentially buying a roof you will likely never replace again. The honest tradeoff is the upfront cost, which runs meaningfully higher than asphalt. For owners planning to stay in the home long term, or for outbuildings and farmhouses where a metal look fits the property, the math over 40 or 50 years often makes sense. We will lay both options out on paper so you can decide.
