Terms of Use

There are no prices anywhere on this website, and that is deliberate. Roof pricing depends on square footage, pitch, how many layers are coming off, the condition of the decking underneath, the material you choose, and how the job has to be staged. None of that can be known from a web page, and anybody quoting a number before seeing the roof is guessing.

So, plainly: nothing on this site is an offer, a quote, an estimate, or a binding commitment to perform work at any price. Service descriptions describe the kind of work we do — they are not a promise of what your particular job will include.

A real number comes after a real inspection. We come out at no cost, walk the roof or fly it where the pitch makes that safer, photograph what we find, and put an itemised written estimate in front of you.

Work becomes a commitment on both sides when there is a signed written scope — not before. Until then, either of us can walk away, and neither of us owes the other anything.

Dates discussed on the phone, over email, or through this website are our honest intent rather than a guarantee. Roofing in Northern Indiana is weather-dependent work, and after a hail event the entire region’s demand arrives in the same week.

Committed dates live in the signed scope of work, and if one slips we will tell you as soon as we know rather than letting you find out on the morning.

We inspect at no cost, document damage with photographs and drone imagery, write a scope, and meet your adjuster at the property. What we do not do is decide your claim.

We are not your insurer, and we are not a public adjuster. Nothing on this site is a promise that a claim will be filed successfully, approved, or paid, and nothing here is advice about your coverage — that is between you and your carrier. Filing the claim has to come from you as the policyholder.

We write this site ourselves and we keep it current. Even so, building codes, manufacturer specifications, material availability, and insurance practice all change, and a page written last season may not describe this season exactly.

Nothing here is a substitute for somebody looking at your actual roof. General guidance about, say, when a repair beats a replacement is written to be useful — it is not a diagnosis of your house.

Photographs on this site show work our crew completed. They illustrate our standard of work. They are not a representation that your roof will use the same materials, the same colour, or produce an identical result.

Every photograph on this site was taken on our own jobs. There is no stock photography and no borrowed portfolio anywhere on it — which is the point, and also the reason we protect it.

The photographs, the aerial footage, the logo, the written copy, and the design of this site belong to Underdog Roofing & Construction LLC.

You are welcome to link to any page here and to share those links anywhere you like. What you may not do:

• Copy our photography or written copy into your own advertising, website, or printed material
• Use our images on another contractor’s site, a property listing, or a marketplace profile
• Present our work as your own portfolio, in any medium
• Use our name or logo in a way that implies we endorse or are affiliated with you

Ask us first. For most reasonable requests — a local publication, a supplier case study, a neighbour who wants to show somebody the finished roof — the answer is yes.

If we photographed your property, those images are yours to have. You get them whether or not you hired us; ask and we will send them.

The rules here are short, because there are only a few things worth prohibiting:

• Do not use the contact form for advertising, solicitation, or bulk messages — SEO offers, lead-generation pitches, and the rest go straight in the bin
• Do not scrape, mirror, or bulk-download the site or its images
• Do not attempt to interfere with the site, probe it for vulnerabilities, or overload it
• Do not submit somebody else’s contact details, or a property address you have no connection to

If any of that happens we may block access or simply stop responding. That is the entire enforcement mechanism — there is nothing more dramatic behind it.

We make no guarantee that this website will be available without interruption or free of errors. Hosting fails, forms break, and email occasionally goes missing. We will fix what we find, but we cannot promise the site is working at the moment you need it.

That has a practical consequence worth stating loudly: if your roof is actively leaking, call (574) 334-6597. Do not rely on a web form to reach us in an emergency. We answer the phone after hours for storm damage and emergency tarping.

To the fullest extent permitted by the law of the State of Indiana, Underdog Roofing & Construction LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of your use of, or inability to use, this website. That includes a form submission that never arrives, and it includes relying on general information published here instead of having the roof inspected.

Now the part most websites leave out. This clause is about the website. It does not limit our responsibility for the work we perform. Our workmanship, our warranty, and our obligations on a job are governed by the contract you sign with us and by Indiana law, and nothing written on a web page reduces any of them.

We link out occasionally — to our Facebook page, for one. We do not control those sites, we are not responsible for their content, their security, or their privacy practices, and a link from us is not an endorsement of everything on the other end of it.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of this website will be brought in the state or federal courts serving St. Joseph County, Indiana.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, that part is severed and the rest of them continue to apply.

We may update these terms. The effective date at the top of the page tells you when the current version took effect, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated version.

We are not going to email you about a wording change to a website terms page. If something material changes, it will be obvious on this page.
