Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection

A commercial roof inspection in Mars Hill starts on the roof itself, not from a truck. Our crew walks the membrane and checks seams, laps, terminations, and edge metal for lifting or separation, then works through the flashings at parapets, curbs, and every rooftop penetration where mechanical equipment sits. We look for hail bruising, wind damage, ponding areas, blistering, and the tired spots where an older built up or modified system is giving up. Every finding gets photographed and written up so you have a real record of the commercial roof's condition. Small problems on a Mars Hill flat roof do not stay small, and a careful inspection is what keeps a minor seam repair from turning into an interior damage claim next quarter.

Owners shopping Mars Hill commercial roof bids meet a spread that makes no sense until the scopes get compared. One bid includes tear off, one assumes recover, one prices insulation the code now requires and two do not. The Marion County low bid is usually the least complete sentence. The spread is not about price. It is about who read the roof and who read the market.

The Mars Hill Commercial Roofing approach in Mars Hill starts with evidence. Core samples tell us what the roof is actually made of, moisture scans tell us where the water already went, and the scope gets written from both. Marion County owners get proposals that name systems and thicknesses, because bids that cannot be compared are not really bids.

Deferred maintenance catching up with the budget? Mars Hill Commercial Roofing triages Mars Hill roofs honestly: what is urgent, what can wait a season, and what waiting will cost in writing. Call (765) 436-6771 for the prioritized list instead of the all or nothing proposal. Marion County budgets recover from honest sequencing. They rarely recover from surprise.

About Us

Local Expertise, Real Results

We work for the person who has to explain the roof to ownership.

A roof file should read like a maintenance log, not a mystery. Mars Hill Commercial Roofing gives Mars Hill owners the documented version: photos at every inspection, scopes in writing, and a closeout package that answers questions years later.

Mars Hill Commercial Roofing serves Mars Hill and the surrounding southwest Marion County corridor with commercial roofing built for the buildings we actually work on. Founded by Aaron Christy in 2018, the company has spent years on low slope and flat roofs across Marion County, from West Indianapolis and Stout Field to Ameriplex and Park Fletcher. Our crews are local, licensed, and insured under Indiana license RC21100059. Whether you manage a multi tenant warehouse or a corner commercial strip in Mars Hill, you get a team that knows how mid century commercial roofs age and where they fail first.

The way we work in Mars Hill is straightforward. Every job starts with a thorough inspection of the commercial roof, membrane seams, flashings, drains, and rooftop penetrations, and we document what we find with photos so you see exactly what we see. From there you get an honest written estimate with a clear scope, no vague line items, and no pressure. On the roof, the crew keeps the site orderly, protects the property, and finishes the work to the standard the estimate described. No invented certifications, just careful commercial roofing done in daylight.

Our Promise

Three commitments to Mars Hill property managers. First, a free on site inspection of your commercial roof before we ever quote work, with photo documentation you can keep on file. Second, an honest written estimate that spells out the scope, the materials, and the price, with transparent line items added later. Third, clean workmanship on every repair, replacement, or metal install, backed by a workmanship warranty and the standard manufacturer coverage that applies to the system we put down.

Why Mars Hill Chooses Us

Built on Documented Mars Hill Roof Work

Serving Mars Hill and Marion County with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.

Storm And Hail Response

When a hail or high wind event rolls through Marion County, we prioritize property managers with active leaks and visible damage. Crews check membrane bruising, torn seams, and lifted edge metal, then tarp or dry in what needs to hold until the full repair. You get photos and a written scope for your file.

Built For Local Buildings

Mars Hill commercial stock skews mid century, and the roofs show it. We know how legacy built up and early modified bitumen systems behave, where the ponding hides, and how to work around dense rooftop mechanical equipment without creating new leak points. That local familiarity keeps estimates realistic.

Inspection Through Completion

One crew handles the full arc of the job, from the free inspection to the final walkthrough. That means the person who documented the damage on your Mars Hill roof is connected to the person writing the scope and the crew doing the work. Fewer handoffs, fewer missed details.

Claim Documentation Done Right

Storm claims live or die on documentation. We photograph damage clearly, note the failure modes, and write scopes your insurance carrier and adjuster can actually read. works with your insurance carrier, but we give you the paperwork that supports the claim you file.

Our Process

Our Method on Mars Hill Flat Roofs

Step one is the on site inspection. A crew member walks your Mars Hill commercial roof and looks at the membrane field, the seams, the flashings, the drains, and the penetrations, one by one. We photograph the condition, note storm related damage separately from age related wear, and put together a clear picture of where the roof is in its service life. Before we talk price, you get a straight explanation of what the roof needs and why, in language a property manager can hand to ownership without translating.

Step two is the written estimate and, when a storm is involved, the insurance piece. You get an honest written estimate for the Mars Hill commercial roof repair or replacement, itemized so nothing is hidden. If the damage traces back to a specific storm, we package the photos, the scope, and the notes so you can submit a clean claim to your insurance carrier. We work alongside the adjuster during their inspection, answer their questions, and keep the scope defensible. You file with your carrier and pay your deductible, we handle the roofing.

Step three is the work itself. We schedule around your tenants and operations where we can, stage materials to keep the site accessible, and protect landscaping, entries, and rooftop equipment during the job. The crew installs to the scope in the estimate, whether that is a targeted repair, a full commercial roof replacement, or a metal system. When the last section is done, we walk the Mars Hill roof with you, review the finished work, hand over documentation, and clean up so the property looks like we were never there.

Free Inspection With Photos

No cost, no obligation. A crew member gets on the roof, walks the field, and documents condition with photos you keep. You see the same evidence we see before any decision is made.

Honest Written Estimate

Every Mars Hill estimate is written, itemized, and explained. Scope, materials, and price are on the page in front of you. If something changes mid job, we talk about it before we do it, not after.

Insurance Documentation

For storm claims, we photograph damage, write a defensible scope, and coordinate with your carrier and adjuster during their inspection. You file with your insurance, pay your deductible, and we handle the roof.

Clean Work, Final Walkthrough

The crew keeps the site orderly, protects entries and equipment, and hauls off debris. At the end we walk the finished roof with you, review the work against the scope, and hand over the paperwork.

Common Causes

What we see most often on Mars Hill commercial roofs

Mars Hill property managers typically call us about these scenarios.

Chalking and Shrinkage on an Older Roof

White TPO and PVC chalk as the surface weathers, and a chalky membrane is harder to weld to, which matters on the day somebody needs to make a repair. EPDM fails the other direction: the sheet shrinks over the years and pulls flashings down off the parapet and away from the corners.

Curbs and Pitch Pockets Going Soft

Membrane runs up the side of an equipment curb and has to terminate high enough that blowing rain and snow cannot get over the top, and plenty of units sit on curbs built too low or on sleepers with no curb at all. Pitch pockets fail a different way: the filler shrinks and dishes below the rim until the pocket holds water instead of shedding it.

Drains and Scuppers That Quit Draining

Strainer domes go missing, leaf litter packs the sump, and a scupper through the parapet plugs with whatever blew up there over the winter. Nobody notices until the low areas hold water or it starts running over the parapet instead of through it. Twice a year, spring and fall, keeps a Mars Hill roof out of that situation for less than the cost of one repair.

Seams Letting Go on a Taped EPDM Roof

EPDM is a thermoset rubber, so its laps are taped or adhered rather than heat welded the way TPO and PVC are. The adhesive is what ages, and it usually gives up first at T joints where three plies stack on top of each other. A lap rebuilt while it is still just a lap is a maintenance line item. The same lap found two years later is an insulation replacement.

Hail Bruising on a Single Ply Roof

On single ply, hail fractures the reinforcing scrim under the surface without leaving an obvious hole, and the split shows up a season or two later. Whether there is a cover board under the membrane changes how well the roof took the hit. Mars Hill Commercial Roofing documents impacts area by area with photographs and core cuts so a Mars Hill building owner has a written record while the storm date is still recent.

Branches and Debris Working on the Membrane

Limbs overhanging a Mars Hill building drop wood and leaves that sit on the membrane, hold water against it, and wash straight into the drain sump. Straight line wind turns the same branch into something that gouges. Trimming back from the roof edge is a landscaping line item that shows up later as a roofing savings.

Common Questions

What Comes Up on Every Mars Hill Bid

Straight answers to the questions Mars Hill property managers ask most.

Typically, we schedule Mars Hill inspections promptly, and active storm damage with visible leaks moves to the front of the queue. When a hail or wind event sweeps southwest Marion County, we prioritize property managers dealing with water intrusion and open membrane damage over routine assessments. For non emergency inspections, we set a time that works around your tenants and operations. Either way, you get a real on roof walkthrough, not a drive by. Call to get on the schedule.
It depends on the system, the square footage, and the condition of the deck underneath. Most Mars Hill commercial repairs run into the low four figures for isolated seam or flashing work, and full low slope replacements typically price by the square with insulation, membrane, and flashings all factored in. Metal installs sit higher because of material and detailing. We do not quote real numbers without seeing the roof. Schedule a free inspection and we will put an honest written estimate in front of you.
It depends on your policy and the nature of the damage. Sudden storm damage from a specific hail or wind event is generally what carriers cover, while age related wear and long term membrane failure typically is not. You file with your insurance carrier, pay your deductible, and the carrier makes the coverage decision. We document the damage with dated photos and a written scope so your claim has real evidence behind it. works with your insurance carrier.
It depends on the age of the roof, the extent of the damage, and how much serviceable membrane is left. Typically, isolated seam splits, flashing failures, and localized storm damage on an otherwise sound roof are repairs. When the membrane is brittle across the field, flashings are failing in multiple places, or you are patching the same building every year, replacement is the honest answer. The inspection tells us which one. We will show you the photos and explain the call.
In Mars Hill, our inspection covers the full roof surface, not a spot check. We walk the membrane field looking for bruising, blisters, and punctures, then check every seam, lap, and termination. Flashings at parapets, curbs, and rooftop penetrations get looked at closely because that is where most leaks start. Drains, edge metal, and ponding areas are documented. You get photos and a written summary. Schedule the free inspection to get one on file.
It depends on the size of the roof and the scope of work. Most targeted Mars Hill commercial roof repairs wrap in a day or two once materials are on site. Full replacements on multi tenant warehouses or larger commercial buildings typically run one to several weeks depending on square footage, weather, and rooftop equipment density. We give you a realistic schedule in the written estimate and update you if weather shifts it. Ask during your inspection.
Every job carries a workmanship warranty from Mars Hill Commercial Roofing on the labor and installation, and the membrane or metal system itself carries the standard manufacturer coverage that applies to that product. Coverage terms depend on the system installed, so the specifics get spelled out in your written estimate and paperwork at completion. We do not invent extended guarantees or claim manufacturer certifications we do not hold. Ask about warranty specifics during the estimate review.
Most Mars Hill property managers should do three things quickly. First, walk the interior and note any ceiling stains, drips, or displaced tiles so you know where water is getting in. Second, document the damage with photos from the ground and any safe vantage point, dated if possible. Third, call a commercial roofer to get on the roof and inspect before the next rain compounds it. Storm damage gets worse the longer it sits. Schedule a free inspection.
Indiana Climate

Indiana Weather Affects Commercial Roofs Year Round

Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Mars Hill property managers 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 Membrane

Indiana averages twenty to thirty significant hail days a year, and an inch plus stone can bruise a single ply or modified membrane without leaving an obvious puncture. Bruised spots hold water, crack over the next freeze cycle, and leak months later. When we inspect after hail, we mark and photograph every impact so the damage is documented while it is still fresh.

Wind Lifting Seams And Edges

Straight line winds across Mars Hill regularly clear the fifty eight mph severe threshold, and larger derecho events go well past it. That kind of wind finds tired seams, loose termination bars, and edge metal that has worked itself free over years. Once a membrane starts peeling at the perimeter, water gets under the field fast. We reseat, refasten, and reseal before it spreads.

Ponding After Heavy Rain

Mars Hill sits on flat ground, and the larger warehouse footprints near the former Stout Field airport area were built with low slope roofs that drain slowly. When drains clog or the deck sags, water pools, adds weight, and accelerates membrane breakdown at the low spots. We check drainage during every inspection and address the ponding, not just the leak underneath it.

Aging Flat Roof Systems

A lot of the commercial stock in the area still carries built up or early modified bitumen roofs that are well past their design life. Flashings dry out, laps split, and the field loses its top coat. When a roof is at that stage, targeted repair only buys time. We tell you honestly where you are on the curve so you can plan the replacement instead of react to it.

Material Guide

Choosing the Right Commercial Roof System in Mars Hill

An honest breakdown of the three low slope systems we install most frequently.

TPO Membrane

The most common commercial roof across Mars Hill is still a low slope asphaltic system, either a legacy built up roof with gravel surfacing or a modified bitumen membrane with a granulated cap sheet. Owners choose it because it is familiar, repairable in sections, and works well on the flat and low slope decks that dominate the neighborhood's mid century commercial and industrial buildings. Properly detailed at flashings and penetrations, a modern modified bitumen system gives a Mars Hill property manager a predictable service life without a premium price tag.

Most specifiedReflective surface$$
EPDM Rubber

For Mars Hill buildings that keep taking hail hits, an upgraded single ply membrane like a thicker TPO or PVC, or a modified system with a heavier cap sheet, is worth the extra cost. These membranes resist bruising and puncture better than an aging built up roof, and lighter reflective surfaces cut rooftop heat load on tenants below. The upgrade pays off most on buildings with dense rooftop mechanical equipment, where every added year of membrane life delays a full replacement around all that hardware.

Proven service lifeSimple repairs$$$
Standing Seam Metal

A standing seam metal roof is the long life option, and it fits the sloped portions and newer additions on some Mars Hill commercial buildings, including church conversions and mixed use structures along Kentucky Avenue. Metal shrugs off hail better, sheds water fast, and can run decades with minor maintenance. The tradeoff is upfront cost and the detailing work at penetrations and transitions. When it fits the building, it is the roof you install once and stop thinking about.

Homes in Mars Hill Southwest were largely built between 1970 and 1999, with a secondary cluster constructed from 1940 to 1969, placing much of the plumbing infrastructure squarely in galvanized and early copper eras. View Mars Hill Southwest commercial roofing details →
Mars Hill South contains some of the oldest housing in the broader area, with a significant portion of homes built between 1940 and 1969 and a secondary wave from 1970 to 1999, meaning original galvanized plumbing is frequently still in place in un renovated properties. View Mars Hill South commercial roofing details →
Drexel Gardens is a directly adjacent residential neighborhood sharing the southwest Indianapolis geography and similar mid-20th century build characteristics as Mars Hill's core, with the 1975 formation of the Mars Hill,Drexel Gardens Multiservice Center reflecting their historically intertwined community identity. Homes here are similarly compact single family structures from the 1950s,1970s, where original galvanized supply lines and cast iron drain lines are common and subject to scale buildup and pinhole failures. View Drexel Gardens commercial roofing details →
Maywood is a neighboring community on the southwest side of Indianapolis immediately adjacent to Mars Hill, with housing stock reflecting similar interwar to postwar construction patterns and working class bungalow architecture. Homes built in the 1930s through 1960s in this area commonly retain original galvanized water supply lines, which are past useful service life and prone to rust laden flow restriction and catastrophic pinhole leaks. View Maywood commercial roofing details →
Eagle Heights is identified in historical community accounts as lying west of the Mars Hill core, between Mars Hill proper and Lynhurst Street, representing a transitional residential zone with similar mid century construction patterns. Plumbing from the 1950s and 1960s build era,galvanized supply and early copper,presents ongoing corrosion and joint failure risk in properties that have not undergone modern repiping.
