Indiana summers bring more than just sunshine—they also bring heavy rain, high winds, hail, and sudden thunderstorms. These fast-moving summer storms can take a serious toll on your roof if it’s not in top shape. At ACE Construction & Remodeling, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly a small roofing issue can turn into costly water damage when storm season hits East Central Indiana.

So before the next downpour arrives, it’s important to ask: Is your roof ready?

Why Summer Storms Are a Threat to Indiana Roofs

Summer in Indiana is known for unpredictable weather patterns. One day may bring 90-degree heat and sunshine, and the next can unleash severe storms with wind gusts, torrential rain, and even hail. This kind of weather puts your roof through extreme conditions, testing its durability with every passing system.

Roofs that are aging, poorly ventilated, or already damaged are especially vulnerable—and what looks like a small problem today can quickly escalate into interior leaks, damaged insulation, mold, and even structural issues.

What to Watch For Before the Storms Hit

Now is the perfect time to schedule a roof inspection and look for the warning signs of damage. Even if your roof appears to be holding up, there may be hidden issues that only a professional can catch. Here’s what we typically look for during a summer-readiness roof check:

• Missing or loose shingles that could be lifted by wind
• Cracked or curled shingles from sun and heat exposure
• Damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights
• Clogged or sagging gutters that prevent proper drainage
• Soft spots or signs of rot in the roof decking
• Debris buildup that can block drainage and add weight to the roof

ACE Construction & Remodeling offers detailed roof inspections across Muncie and surrounding areas to help you catch these issues early and prevent costly repairs down the line.

Don’t Wait Until You See a Leak

Many homeowners wait until they spot water on the ceiling to take action—but by then, damage has already set in. Wind-driven rain can force water under shingles, especially if they’re not properly sealed. A small tear or lifted shingle is all it takes for water to sneak in.

Preventive repairs are always more affordable than emergency fixes.

Storm-Ready Roofing Solutions

If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan or has been patched several times, now may be the time to consider a roof replacement. Asphalt shingles remain a top choice in Indiana because they’re budget-friendly, storm-resistant, and built to withstand temperature fluctuations.

We also recommend improving roof ventilation and gutter systems to help your home manage excess moisture during long Indiana downpours.
