Structure counts are FEMA's National Structure Inventory; year built and tenure are the Census ACS 5-year. We publish them because they are the honest way to say what a place is built of — not as a claim about your roof.
Work here runs out of our Noblesville office. Same crews, same systems, either way.
What that means for a roof
The median structure here went up around 1992. That is newer stock — usually the original builder-grade asphalt coming off, with sound decking and modern framing underneath. The install is rarely the hard part here. The approval is: newer subdivisions are the ones with architectural guidelines.
None of that decides your roof. Pitch, the details around chimneys and walls, and what you expect from the roof do — and those are things we look at rather than infer from a county average. The five systems each explain where they fail as well as where they fit.
If the honest answer is that metal is the wrong call for your house, we would rather say so on the phone. This guide is how I think it through.
