Roofing in Shipshewana, IN
Better Way Roofing was founded here in 2015. Shipshewana is home. Our office, our families, and our roots are right here in LaGrange County.
Honest Roofing from a Team You Can Trust
In short: Shipshewana is where we are based, not somewhere we drive to. Roof replacement starts from $15,000, and a fair amount of our work here is visible from the road if you want to go and look at it first.
This is home. The shop is here, the crews live here, and Shipshewana is the one page on this website where we are not telling you how far away we are, because the answer is that we are already here.
That changes what you should expect. You can come and find us rather than dealing with a phone number and a van. Turnaround on an assessment is usually a day or two rather than a week. And a decent amount of our work here is standing in public: the metal roof on the Shipshewana public library is ours, and so is the roof on Scott United Methodist Church. You do not have to take our word for the quality when you can go and look at it.
The flip side is that we cannot hide from a bad job here. In a town this size a roof that leaks is a conversation at the hardware store within a week, and it stays a conversation for years. That is a stronger guarantee than anything we could write on a page, and it is the real reason our standards are what they are.

Roofing Permits in Shipshewana
In short: Shipshewana permits run through the LaGrange County Building Department, which is a few minutes from our shop. We pull yours as part of the job.
Shipshewana is an incorporated town, and the county's development ordinance covers the incorporated towns as well as the unincorporated parts of LaGrange County. In practice that means building permits go through the LaGrange County Building Department.
We are not going to print a fee here, because published figures change and we would rather confirm the current one for your address than have you plan around something stale.
Realistically this is the least of your worries on a Shipshewana job. It is our own county office, we are there constantly, and pulling your permit is part of the work rather than something you need to arrange.
What a Roof Costs in Shipshewana
In short: Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Shipshewana starts from $15,000. Metal costs more up front and lasts considerably longer. Every quote is fixed in writing.
We would rather give you a real number than make you fill in a form to get one. A full asphalt shingle replacement on a typical Shipshewana home starts from $15,000. Roof size, pitch, the number of layers coming off, and the condition of the decking are what move it.
Metal is a bigger share of what we build here than in most of the towns we cover, both hidden fastener and exposed fastener systems, and the library roof is the obvious example if you want to see one at scale. It costs more at the outset and lasts a great deal longer, so it tends to suit people who are not planning on moving.
The number we give you is the number you pay. No change orders halfway through, and no discovering the decking was extra. See full pricing → or get a ballpark online →
