Project gallery · Michiana

30 photos.Not one of them stock.

Every photograph on this page was taken by our own crew on a job in Michiana. No stock library, no borrowed portfolio, no pictures of somebody else's roof with our name under them. If it is here, we did it.

That includes the parts most companies crop out — rotted decking under a chimney, a tear-off half finished, tarps going on at dusk. A roof is easy to photograph once it is done. What tells you how a crew works is the middle of the job.

What you're looking at

Why so much of this is shot from the air.

Most of the aerial frames here started life as documentation rather than marketing. We fly a roof before we quote it and again after a storm, because a camera over the ridge sees things a ladder never will.

Aerial method01 / 03

Flown, not guessed

A drone puts a camera over the ridge, the valleys and the back slopes without anyone walking a wet or steep roof. On a two-storey with a 10/12 pitch, that is the difference between an inspection and a look from the ladder.

Insurance file02 / 03

Shot for the claim

Storm photos are framed the way an adjuster reads them — a wide shot to place the damage on the roof, then close frames of the bruising, creasing or lifted tabs. The same set goes into your file and ours.

Your copy03 / 03

Yours to keep

You get the photographs whether or not you hire us. If the roof is fine, the images are what prove it, and they are yours to hand to a buyer, an agent or the next contractor.

Drone & Aerial

Flown when the pitch or the height makes walking a roof the wrong call, and flown on every storm claim so the adjuster is looking at the same thing we are.

Storm Damage

Hail, wind and the tarps that go on before the next round of weather. Most of these frames ended up attached to an insurance file.

Roof Replacement

Tear-off through final course. The middle of a replacement is the part most companies never show you, which is exactly why it is here.

Repair & Tear-Off

What sits under the shingles decides how long the next roof lasts — rotted decking at a chimney, fresh sheathing, valley cuts and course lines.

Want a set of photos of your own roof?

We will fly it, walk it where that is safe, and photograph every slope, valley and penetration. You get the images the same day — whether or not you hire us, and whether or not there turns out to be anything wrong up there.
