Better Way has you covered
Better Way Roofing is a family-owned roofing contractor based in Shipshewana, Indiana. Since 2014, we have served homeowners and business owners across Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan, including Goshen, Elkhart, South Bend, Mishawaka, and Warsaw.
When a roof starts failing, the damage spreads fast. Water enters insulation. Wood decking softens. Small leaks become structural problems. In this region, roofing systems deal with snow load, freeze-thaw cycles, wind, and seasonal hail. Getting the installation right matters as much as the materials.
Every project starts with a documented inspection and a written estimate. You know exactly what is being installed, why, and what it costs before any work begins.
Regular roof inspections are often overlooked, yet they are crucial for maintaining the integrity of our properties. Addressing potential issues proactively can lead to significant cost savings and enhanced longevity of the roof. At Better Way Roofing, our team of skilled and knowledgeable professionals is dedicated to providing thorough and transparent inspection reports, ensuring that your roofing system remains in optimal condition.
Residential Roofing Services
Residential roofing is the core of our business across Northern Indiana. We handle roof installation, repair, and full replacement, with every project documented in writing from estimate to final walkthrough.
Roof Installation
For new construction or complete upgrades, we install full roofing systems. That includes underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and ice barrier protection where required.
We install roofing systems from manufacturers such as Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and United Steel. Each system is installed according to manufacturer specifications and local code requirements so warranty coverage remains valid.
Roof Repair
Not every roof needs to be replaced.
We inspect flashing, vent penetrations, shingles, valleys, and attic ventilation before recommending a solution. If repair will solve the problem, we recommend repair. If the roof has reached the end of its service life, we explain why replacement is the better option.
You receive a written scope outlining what is being repaired and what is not.
Roof Replacement
When a roof is worn out or storm damaged beyond repair, a full tear-off allows us to inspect the decking and rebuild the system correctly.
Our replacement process includes:
- Removal of old roofing materials
- Inspection of decking
- Replacement of damaged sheathing if needed
- Installation of synthetic underlayment and flashing
- Installation of shingles or metal panels per manufacturer requirements
Proper installation protects both your home and your warranty.
