Roof damage doesn’t always mean you need a full replacement. We’ve become experts at finding and fixing problems so you don’t have leaks again in that same area. Our technicians see repairs daily through our home inspection work, which means they’re trained to spot issues other contractors miss.
When you call Upright Construction, you’re getting a salaried expert—not a commission-based salesperson. We’ll assess your situation honestly, repair what needs fixing, and give you a realistic timeline for when you might need to budget for replacement.
We repair more than what’s visible to ensure the surrounding area is watertight and secure.
If you have water leaking into your house after a storm, we’ll come tarp it, wait till the rain stops, then assess the situation to get it watertight.
If you’re getting multiple nail pops, that’s typically a sign your roof is nearing the end of its life cycle. We’ll give you real expectations about your options.
We’re certified installers for all major shingle brands, which means we know how to match your existing shingles as closely as possible to minimize visible patches.
Certifications:
Evansville has some of the most unpredictable weather in the country. We experience ice storms, hail, tornadoes, and high winds—sometimes all in the same day. This creates serious challenges for roofing systems.
The number one cause of roof replacement in our area. Hail pushes granules off your shingles and exposes the layer underneath. Once compromised, water can breach the shingle.
Wind speeds up to 2.5 times as it goes over your roof. A 50 mph gust becomes 125 mph winds at your roofline. You might not know you have wind damage until months later when water finds its way through loose shingles.
Ice causes water to freeze and expand on your roof, damaging shingles—especially those already showing wear.
Learn how to tell the difference between hail and wind damage.
We work directly with insurance companies using Xactimate (the same software they use) and meet adjusters on-site to walk through the damage. We don’t chase supplemental claims. we maintain fair pricing and partnerships with both homeowners and insurers.
Our manager will assess whether insurance will cover your repair and help you decide if filing makes sense. If your repair is only slightly more than your deductible, we’ll help you determine your wisest option.
Insurance repairs are typically completed within 5-10 business days after approval.
Our repair manager personally assesses your roof to identify all issues—not just the obvious ones.
Written estimate with our recommendation. If insurance might cover the damage, we’ll guide you through that process.
We repair beyond the visible damage to prevent repeat leaks.
We primarily use GAF and TAMKO shingles—the two leading products backed by the best warranties in the industry.
GAF: Best warranty in the business with excellent warranty support.
TAMKO: Rated for 160 mph winds (versus GAF’s 130 mph). Ideal for homes with significant wind exposure like properties near open fields.
Our manager assesses each situation and recommends the best shingle for your specific home and location.
Why it matters: GAF and TAMKO call us to do warranty work, even on roofs we didn’t install. There are only a few Master Elite GAF contractors and two Platinum TAMKO contractors in our area.
Why a licensed contractor matters:
Most common repairs (boot replacement or nail pops): $300-$600
Multiple repairs: $1,000+
Written estimates provided after inspection—no surprise charges.
Our technician will give you an honest assessment of remaining life expectancy. Multiple nail pops throughout typically means your roof is nearing end of life. Sometimes home inspectors say a roof is done when it really has 5+ years left—it just needs repairs.
We’ll assess if insurance will cover the damage and help you decide if filing makes sense based on your deductible versus repair cost.
Yes. Evansville’s volatile weather means we see damage year-round. Most people don’t know they have damage until something else happens—winter ice damage might not leak until spring rains.
Our team knows Evansville’s neighborhoods, historic districts, weather patterns, and local building codes.
Service Area: Evansville, Newburgh, and surrounding communities in Vanderburgh, Warrick, and surrounding counties.
