Our Clients Love Us

"The folks at Knox put on a new roof and new siding/gutters for us this past summer, at two different times with two different crews. We ran into a few roadblocks--like having to create a "cricket" on the roof to divert water to another direction, or having to bring in the "window guys" to stabilize old windows as new siding was going on. Matt and C'Koh just took care of it and brought in whoever needed to do the work--and they even managed to do all the work without damaging the flowers and shrubs! I would highly recommend them--excellent customer service and really nice people!"

Sally Luzader Lafayette IN

Called Knox and set up an appointment with Heather to inspect an area of the roof with a possible hole reported to me by my gutter cleaner. Mark Savage phoned prior to the appointment to confirm appointment and arrival time. Mark found a bad area in a ridge cap and a vent pipe boot that was dry and cracking. Instead of making an appointment for a future repair he found some materials on his truck and made both repairs at that time. The charge was minimal and the problems were fixed. The whole experience with Knox was very positive. They made little to no profit on this job but created a long time customer. Now I know why you see their trucks and signs all over town. Give them a call on all your roofing needs. You want be disappointed."

FAQs

Buying a new roof for your home is a serious investment. We are happy to answer some of your common questions.

How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?

Key signs that you might need professional help include cracked, curled, or missing shingles, water stains on ceilings, or sagging rooflines. Knox Services recommends annual inspections to catch these issues before they lead to costly interior damage.

What roofing materials does Knox Services work with?

We install and repair all common roofing types, including:Composition/Asphalt shingles (using brands like GAF and Owens Corning).Metal roofing.Flat roofs.Tile and wood shake roofs.

How long does a typical repair or installation take?

Small roof repairs are typically simple and can often be finished within just a few hours. However, when it comes to larger tasks, many residential roof repairs might require a full day to complete. For more extensive projects like standard installations, the process may extend over 1–2 days to ensure everything is done properly.

What are the warning signs of a failing roof?

Look for leaks, missing or torn shingles, loose flashings, or an excess of shingle granules in your gutters. A roof reaching 20 years of age is also a prime candidate for a professional inspection.

How many layers of roofing are allowed in Indiana?

According to Indiana building codes, you are legally limited to a total of two layers of shingles. If your roof already has two layers, a complete tear-off is required before a new one is installed.

Does Knox Services help with insurance claims?

We assist clients with inspections and repairs following storm damage. It is advised to have a professional inspection and documentation (photos/video) before filing a claim to ensure it is necessary.

What is the "25% Rule" in roofing?

This common industry guideline suggests that if more than 25% of a roof's surface requires repair, it is often more cost-effective to opt for a full replacement rather than multiple patches.

Are warranties offered on repairs?

Yes, Knox Services provides warranties on their work. This typically includes a 5-year labor warranty on installations, plus various manufacturer-backed material warranties.
