Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection

A commercial roof inspection in Market East starts with a full walk of the roof surface, not a glance from a ladder. The crew checks membrane seams for separation, flashing at parapets and curbs, drains and scuppers, and every penetration where rooftop equipment ties into the system. We look for hail bruising, wind damage at edges, signs of ponding, and the general age condition of the membrane or coating. Everything is documented with photos so you have a record for your files and for any future claim. The reason we're thorough is simple. On a Market East commercial roof, a small seam issue or a slow leak around an HVAC curb can turn into interior damage on the floors below, and that gets expensive fast.

I agree to be contacted by Market East Commercial Roofing regarding my inquiry.

Every roof penetration on a Market East building is a promise someone made with sealant. Pitch pans dry and crack on a five to seven year cycle regardless of what the roof around them is doing. Boots split, clamps loosen, and the sealant bead that was flexible at install turns to chalk. Marion County maintenance programs exist mostly to keep re making those small promises before they break.

Every Market East Commercial Roofing closeout in Market East ends with a walkthrough and a package: the photos, the warranty, the maintenance dates, and the direct number of the lead who ran the job. Across Marion County, the buildings we serve stop generating roof surprises, which is the quietest possible form of advertising and the only one we have ever needed.

Buying or selling commercial property in Market East? Market East Commercial Roofing performs due diligence roof assessments with cores and moisture scans, the parts a general inspection cannot see. Two winters of surprise is a bad way to learn what condition fair meant. Call (765) 666-3591 before the Marion County closing, and negotiate from the evidence instead of the estimate.

About Us

Local Expertise, Real Results

Tenant schedules, dock access, and noise windows get planned before the first pallet lands.

Deferred maintenance has a compounding rate. Market East Commercial Roofing maintenance programs put Market East roofs on a schedule of documented walks and small fixes that keep membranes serviceable and warranties enforceable for their full term.

Market East Commercial Roofing serves Market East and the surrounding Marion County commercial market with straightforward commercial roofing work. Founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, who's been featured on FOX59, WISH TV, and RTV6, the company has spent years working on low slope and flat roof systems that define downtown Indianapolis. Our crews are local to central Indiana, licensed and insured under Indiana license RC21100059, and familiar with the building types you manage across Market East, the Wholesale District, Mile Square, and neighboring blocks. When a property manager in Market East calls, they get a team that already knows the roofscape they're being asked to look at.

The way we work on commercial roofs is simple and documented. A crew walks the roof, checks seams, flashing, penetrations, and any problem spots, and takes photos of what they find so nothing is left to memory. You get an honest written estimate that spells out the scope, the materials, and the reasoning, not a vague number on a business card. On the work itself, we show up when we say we will, protect the property while we're on site, and clean up when we leave. That's the standard we hold for every Market East commercial roofing job, whether it's a small repair or a full replacement.

Our Promise

Every Market East property manager who calls Market East Commercial Roofing gets three things. First, a free on site inspection of the commercial roof before we ask for a signature or a deposit. Second, an honest written estimate with clear line items and no surprise add ons after the job starts. Third, clean workmanship backed by a workmanship warranty, alongside the standard manufacturer coverage that applies to the membrane or metal system we install. That's the deal, in plain language.

Why Market East Chooses Us

Chosen by Market East Managers for a Reason

Serving Market East and Marion County with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.

Storm And Hail Response

Central Indiana storms bring hail, microbursts, and straight line winds that hit downtown commercial roofs hard. We prioritize storm damage calls, get on the roof, and document what we find with photos while the evidence is fresh. That gives you what you need for your carrier and stops a small breach from soaking into the deck.

Market East Building Knowledge

Market East is almost entirely low slope membrane roofing, from older modified bitumen systems to newer TPO and PVC installs. We know how those systems behave, where they fail, and what the rooftop mechanical layout tends to look like on these buildings. That means fewer surprises during inspection and a scope that reflects the roof you actually have.

Full-Scope Commercial Work

We handle the full arc of a commercial roofing project, from the first inspection through repair or replacement and the final walkthrough. One point of contact, one written scope, one crew doing the work. Market East property managers don't have to juggle vendors to get the roof back to a defensible condition.

Insurance Documentation Done Right

When there's a storm claim, the quality of your documentation matters. We photograph damage, note storm date and pattern, and produce a written scope your adjuster can actually work from. You stay in control of the claim with your insurance carrier while we give you the paperwork to support it.

Our Process

How We Scope a Market East Commercial Roof

The first step is an on site inspection of the commercial roof. A crew from Market East Commercial Roofing walks the full surface, checks seams, flashing, drains, and penetrations, and looks for storm damage or wear that reflects the age of the system. Everything gets photographed, and problem areas get flagged with notes so you can see what we saw. Before we write anything up, we make sure we understand the roof on your Market East property and the way you use the building underneath it. That inspection sets the scope, and it's free.

Next comes the written estimate. You get a clear scope, line item pricing, and an honest read on whether the roof needs a targeted repair or a full replacement. If the damage came from a storm and you're filing a claim, we hand over the photo documentation and the written scope so you can submit it to your insurance carrier. We work with your adjuster on the details of the loss, but we don't works with your insurance carrier and we don't speak for them. That way every Market East property manager we work with keeps control of their own claim.

Once the scope is approved, we schedule the work around your building's operations. Crews stage materials to keep walkways and access points clear, protect the property during tear off and install, and follow the written scope without inventing add ons on the fly. When the commercial roofing work is done, we walk the roof with you, show you what was replaced or repaired, and clean up the site. That final walkthrough is standard on every Market East job we complete.

Free Inspection With Photos

A crew walks the commercial roof, documents seams, flashing, and damage with photos, and gives you a clear read on condition. No cost, no obligation. You get the report even if you decide to hold off.

Honest Written Estimate

The estimate spells out scope, materials, and pricing in plain language. No verbal quotes, transparent line items after work starts. If something changes mid project, it's discussed and put in writing before we proceed.

Insurance Documentation

For storm claims, we provide the photo documentation and written scope your carrier and adjuster need. You file with your insurance carrier and we support the claim with real evidence. We don't works with your insurance carrier.

Clean Work, Final Walkthrough

Crews protect the Market East property during the job, keep the site orderly, and walk the finished commercial roof with you at completion. You see the work, ask questions, and sign off knowing what was done.

Common Causes

What we see most often on Market East commercial roofs

Market East property managers typically call us about these scenarios.

Coping Joints Feeding the Wall Below

Coping caps the top of a parapet, and the joints between sections move all year with temperature. When splice plates and sealant give up, water goes into the top of the wall and turns up inside on a floor nobody associates with the roof. Market East Commercial Roofing inspects coping joints and parapet base flashing together on Market East buildings, because they are one system and they fail as one.

Terminations Standing Off the Wall

Base flashing runs up the wall and gets held there by a termination bar with a sealant bead above it. Masonry backing crumbles, screws loosen, and the top edge stands off far enough to take water behind the flashing where nobody can see it. Market East Commercial Roofing re-anchors and reseals terminations on a set schedule, because this detail fails quietly and usually gets found by a tenant.

Wet Insulation Spreading Under the Membrane

The wet area under a low slope roof is almost always larger than the ceiling stain, because water gets past the membrane and travels sideways through the insulation until something stops it. An infrared scan does not see water. It sees heat, and wet board holds warmth longer after sunset, so it lights up at night. That tells Market East Commercial Roofing where to look, and a core cut tells you whether it is wet.

Drains and Scuppers That Quit Draining

Strainer domes go missing, leaf litter packs the sump, and a scupper through the parapet plugs with whatever blew up there over the winter. Nobody notices until the low areas hold water or it starts running over the parapet instead of through it. Twice a year, spring and fall, keeps a Market East roof out of that situation for less than the cost of one repair.

Rooftop Equipment and Trade Damage

HVAC service calls, satellite installs, and tenant trades put foot traffic and dropped tools on membranes never designed for it. A puncture from a Market East service visit can leak into insulation for months before showing inside. Market East Commercial Roofing repairs the damage, installs walkway pads on service routes, and photographs conditions so responsibility stays clear.

Seams Letting Go on a Taped EPDM Roof

EPDM is a thermoset rubber, so its laps are taped or adhered rather than heat welded the way TPO and PVC are. The adhesive is what ages, and it usually gives up first at T joints where three plies stack on top of each other. A lap rebuilt while it is still just a lap is a maintenance line item. The same lap found two years later is an insulation replacement.

Common Questions

Answers Before the Market East Budget Meeting

Straight answers to the questions Market East property managers ask most.

Typically, we schedule Market East inspections promptly and move storm damage calls to the front of the line. When a roof is actively leaking or a storm just moved through downtown Indianapolis, that call gets priority over routine assessments. For planning stage inspections, we work with your calendar and building access requirements. Call to have it looked at, and we'll give you a realistic window based on what's on the schedule that week.
It depends on the size of the roof, the system, and the scope. Most Market East repair jobs land in a wide range depending on how much membrane, flashing, or decking is involved, while full replacements on high rise and mid rise buildings typically run into six figures because of the square footage and rooftop complexity. Emergency temporary repairs are usually a smaller ticket. The free inspection is what sets the real number for your building. Schedule one and you'll get a written estimate, not a guess.
It depends on your policy and the nature of the damage. Sudden storm damage from hail, wind, or a specific weather event is usually covered by your insurance carrier, minus your deductible, while gradual age related wear and deferred maintenance generally are not. We document the damage with photos and a written scope so your carrier and adjuster have what they need to evaluate the claim. We don't works with your insurance carrier and we don't speak for them. You file the claim, we support it with evidence.
It depends on the age of the system, the extent of the damage, and how much serviceable life is left in the membrane. A localized leak on a roof with years of life remaining usually calls for repair, while widespread seam failure, saturated insulation, or a system near the end of its expected service life pushes toward replacement. The inspection is what tells us which side of that line your roof is on. We'll give you an honest read, even when it's not the answer you were hoping for.
In Market East, an inspection covers the full roof surface, membrane seams, flashing at parapets and curbs, drains and scuppers, edge metal, and every penetration where rooftop equipment ties into the system. We look for storm damage, ponding, membrane wear, and any spot where water could get in. Everything is photographed and summarized in writing. You get a copy for your files whether or not you move forward with any work.
It depends on the scope and the size of the roof. Most targeted repairs on Market East commercial roofs can be completed in a day or two once materials are on hand. Full replacements on larger downtown buildings typically run several weeks and are scheduled around weather and building operations. We give you a realistic timeline in the written estimate before work begins, and we tell you promptly if weather or site conditions push a schedule.
Typically, two kinds of coverage apply. Our workmanship warranty covers the labor and installation quality of the work we perform, and the membrane or metal system carries the standard manufacturer coverage that applies to that product line. The specific terms depend on the system installed and are laid out in your written scope. We'll walk through both with you before the job starts so there's no confusion about what's covered and for how long.
Most Market East property managers should start by documenting what they can see safely from the ground, including any debris, displaced flashing, or interior water spots on upper floors. Don't climb the roof yourself. Call a licensed commercial roofer to do a full inspection and take photos of the damage while it's fresh. That documentation supports your claim with your insurance carrier and helps prevent a small breach from turning into a larger interior loss. Schedule a free inspection and we'll get the paperwork started.
Indiana Climate

Indiana Weather Affects Commercial Roofs Year Round

Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Market East property managers deal with spring hail and severe thunderstorms, summer UV exposure, fall wind storms, and winter freeze thaw cycles. Understanding these patterns is how we plan maintenance, repairs, and replacement work.

Hail Bruising On Membrane

Spring and summer storms across central Indiana drop hail that bruises TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen membranes on Market East commercial roofs. The bruising isn't always visible from the ground, but it weakens the membrane and shortens its life. When we're called out after a hail event, we walk the roof, mark impact points with photos, and document everything you'll need for a claim.

Wind Peeling At Seams And Edges

Downtown Indianapolis catches high wind gusts that channel between buildings and pry at membrane edges, terminations, and seams. Once a seam lifts, water gets under the membrane and travels far from the entry point. We inspect edge metal, perimeter fasteners, and seam adhesion, then re secure or replace the sections that have released.

Ponding Water After Heavy Rain

Ponding is a persistent issue on the flat and low slope roofs that dominate Market East. Drains clog, insulation compresses, and water sits for days, breaking down the membrane and creating leak paths into the floors below. We check drainage, tapered insulation, and low spots, then recommend repair or a scope that actually corrects the slope problem.

Membrane And Flashing Aging

Freeze thaw winters and hot summers expand and contract commercial roof membranes constantly, which fatigues seams and cracks flashing over time. Older buildings across Market East often carry aging modified bitumen or built up systems that show this wear first. We assess remaining life honestly and tell you whether targeted repair or full replacement is the right call.

Material Guide

Choosing the Right Commercial Roof System in Market East

An honest breakdown of the three low slope systems we install most frequently.

TPO Membrane

TPO is the workhorse of Market East commercial roofing and the most common membrane on the modern high rise and mid rise buildings across the district. Property managers choose it because it's a cost effective single ply system, reflective enough to help with cooling loads on flat roofs, and heat welded seams hold up well when installed correctly. It works across a wide range of low slope commercial applications, which is why so much of downtown Indianapolis is covered in it.

Most specifiedReflective surface$$
EPDM Rubber

PVC membrane is the step up when a Market East commercial roof needs stronger chemical resistance or better performance around heavy rooftop mechanical equipment. It handles restaurant exhaust, grease exposure, and the constant foot traffic that comes with servicing HVAC units on dense urban buildings. The upfront cost is higher than TPO, but for buildings with a lot of penetrations or exhaust heavy tenants, the longer service life and tighter seams usually justify the spend.

Proven service lifeSimple repairs$$$
Standing Seam Metal

Standing seam metal roofing is the premium long life option and shows up on architectural accents, canopies, and select commercial buildings in and around Market East. It carries a much longer expected service life than membrane systems and handles wind and hail well when properly fastened. The tradeoff is higher installed cost and more complex detailing at penetrations and transitions, so it's usually specified where design or longevity outweighs the budget difference.

Neighborhood Notes From Market East Roofs

Commercial Roofing projects completed across Market East's commercial districts and business corridors. Click any neighborhood for the specifics we have learned working there.

This 28-story mixed use tower was completed in 2018 on the former Market Square Arena site, making it one of the newest residential structures in downtown Indianapolis. Built with modern PEX and copper plumbing systems, its 292 apartments span many floors, meaning a plumbing failure or appliance leak on upper levels can cause water migration through multiple units before being contained. View 360 Market Square commercial roofing details →
Firehouse Square is Market East's primary townhouse development, consisting of multi story brick buildings with decorative architectural features centered around a private park along N. Alabama Street. Built in the 2000s as part of the early downtown revitalization wave, these townhouses carry copper or early PEX plumbing typical of that construction era. View Firehouse Square commercial roofing details →
The Packard was the first downtown new construction mid rise residential project of its kind in Indianapolis, making it one of the earlier 2000s condo developments in Market East. As a gated development built around a central courtyard with a European fountain, landscaping drainage and courtyard hardscape can direct surface water toward building foundations and below grade utility spaces during heavy rainfall. Plumbing from this early-2000s build era is predominantly copper, and as these systems age past 20 years, pinhole leaks and joint failures in pressurized supply lines become an increasing risk inside individual units. View The Packard Condominiums commercial roofing details →
The Hudson is a 3-story condominium complex completed in 2006 with 70 units, featuring a brick facade in the heart of the Market East District. Its mid-2000s construction era corresponds to copper supply plumbing that is now approaching the age range where pinhole corrosion failures and fitting degradation become more common, particularly in units with hard Indianapolis water. View The Hudson Condominiums commercial roofing details →
Lockerbie Terrace is a 6-story, 56-unit condominium building completed in 1949, making it by far the oldest residential structure associated with the Market East area and one of the few pre modern buildings in an otherwise 21st century district. Original construction from this era would have used galvanized steel supply piping and cast iron drain lines, both of which are well past their expected service lives and prone to internal corrosion, scaling, and failure; any units not yet re piped carry elevated plumbing failure risk. The building's age also means sewer lateral connections to the city's combined sewer system may be original clay or cast iron pipe, subject to root intrusion, offset joints, and backup during high intensity rain events that overwhelm downtown Indianapolis drainage infrastructure. View Lockerbie Terrace commercial roofing details →
The DeSoto is a development of 31 townhomes across 8 buildings located along the south boundary of the Lockerbie neighborhood adjacent to Market East, built in the 2000s with architecture designed to reflect the historic character of surrounding blocks. As multi story attached townhomes, these units share party walls and floor ceiling assemblies, allowing water from a plumbing failure or appliance leak to migrate laterally into adjacent units before surfacing as visible damage.
