Roofing Contractor in Scottsburg, IN
Rick Graham Construction is a GAF Certified roofing contractor with over 40 years of experience protecting homes and businesses in Scottsburg and across Scott County. Roofing is the only trade we do, which means every crew member, every estimate, and every material recommendation comes from people who live and breathe roofs, not a general contractor squeezing roofing between other jobs.
A Roofing Specialist, Not a Jack-Of-All-Trades
We built Rick Graham Construction around one focus: roofing. We are not painters who also patch shingles, or a remodeling crew that treats your roof as an afterthought. Every estimate we write, every crew we send out, and every material recommendation we make comes from decades spent solving roofing problems specific to Southern Indiana, so you get depth of expertise instead of a generalist’s guess.
What Scottsburg’s Weather Does To Roofs
Scott County sits in a humid continental climate zone, which means our roofs absorb some of the hardest seasonal swings in the state: hot, sticky summers followed by cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles, and a severe weather season that runs from spring through late summer. That stretch, roughly March through August, is when Scottsburg sees the bulk of its hail and damaging straight-line wind events, the kind that loosen shingle tabs, crack pipe boots, and dent metal flashing long before a homeowner notices a leak inside.
Add in the older housing stock around the Scottsburg Courthouse Square Historic District and the mix of newer construction on the city’s edges, and you get a wide range of roof ages, decking conditions, and ventilation setups across town. We’ve worked on both: century-old homes near downtown that need careful tear-off to protect original framing, and newer builds in growing subdivisions that need proper attic ventilation to keep asphalt shingles from failing early in our humid summers.
Residential & Commercial Roofing Services in Scottsburg
We keep our service list focused so we can go deep instead of wide. Here’s what we cover for homeowners and businesses throughout Scott County.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles are still the most common roofing material in Scottsburg neighborhoods, and installation quality is what separates a roof that lasts 25 years from one that fails in 10. We install architectural and three-tab shingle systems built to handle our region’s humidity and hail exposure, with proper underlayment, ice-and-water protection at eaves and valleys, and ventilation calculated for your attic, not a generic formula. For more details on replacement options, check out our roofing services.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing has become a popular upgrade for Scottsburg homeowners who want a roof that shrugs off hail and heavy wind gusts without losing granules or lifting tabs. We install standing seam and exposed-fastener metal systems for both residential and light commercial buildings, and as a GAF Certified Contractor we can pair metal roofing with the same manufacturer-backed warranty protection available on our shingle work.
Flat & EPDM Roofing
For commercial buildings and additions around Scottsburg, low-slope and flat roofs need a membrane system built for standing water and temperature swings, not a residential shingle approach. We install and repair EPDM rubber roofing systems for local business owners, with attention to drainage, seam sealing, and flashing details that keep flat roofs from becoming a recurring maintenance headache. Learn more about our specialized commercial roofing solutions.
Roof Maintenance & Repairs
Most roof failures we see in Scott County start small: a lifted shingle after a spring windstorm, a cracked pipe boot, flashing pulled loose around a chimney. We handle targeted repairs and preventive maintenance so small issues get fixed before they turn into interior water damage, plus full storm damage assessments and repairs after hail or wind events.
Seamless Gutters & Leaf Guard Protection
A roof is only half the water management system. We install seamless gutters sized correctly for Scottsburg’s spring rainfall and pair them with leaf guard protection so homeowners near wooded lots aren’t climbing a ladder every fall. Properly installed gutters also protect your fascia, foundation, and landscaping from the runoff a roof sheds during our heavier storm seasons.
Signs Your Scottsburg Roof Needs Attention
The clearest sign your Scottsburg roof needs attention is granule loss combined with curling or missing shingles, especially after a spring or summer storm; both point to underlying damage even if you don’t see an active leak yet. Other warning signs local homeowners should watch for include daylight visible through the attic decking, dark streaking or moss growth on north-facing slopes (common on shaded lots around town), soft spots when walking the roofline, and rising energy bills, which often trace back to failing attic ventilation rather than the roof surface itself.
After any significant hail or wind event in Scott County, we recommend a free inspection even if the roof looks fine from the ground. Hail bruising and wind-lifted tabs are often invisible from the driveway but show up clearly once we’re on the roof.
Why GAF Certification Matters For Your Roof
A GAF Certified Contractor designation matters because it means our installation practices meet manufacturer standards strict enough to qualify for GAF’s enhanced, non-prorated warranty coverage, protection a non-certified installer’s customers simply can’t access. For Scottsburg homeowners, that translates into premium shingle options, a warranty that actually holds up if something goes wrong, and installation work that’s been vetted against the manufacturer’s own quality bar rather than just our own.
We walk every Scottsburg customer through which warranty tier fits their project, what it covers, and what it doesn’t, before any work begins, so there are no surprises if you ever need to file a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof replacement cost in Scottsburg, IN?
Roof replacement cost in Scottsburg typically depends on roof size, pitch, material choice, and how much decking repair is needed, which is why we provide a free, itemized on-site estimate rather than a phone quote. Asphalt shingle replacements are generally the most budget-friendly option, while metal and flat/EPDM systems cost more upfront but often last longer with less maintenance.
Do you offer emergency roof repair after a storm?
Yes, we respond to storm damage calls throughout Scott County, including Scottsburg, Austin, and the surrounding towns, and we prioritize active leaks and structural damage after hail or wind events. If your roof took damage during one of our spring or summer storm systems, call us before you contact your insurance adjuster so we can document the damage properly.
Is my roof damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Most homeowners insurance policies cover roof damage caused by hail, wind, or fallen debris, but coverage details and deductibles vary by policy, so we always recommend confirming specifics with your insurance provider. We can provide a written damage assessment and photos from our inspection to support your claim.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements in Scottsburg take one to three days depending on roof size, pitch, and whether decking repairs are needed, with weather being the main variable that can extend the timeline. Commercial flat roofing projects typically take longer due to membrane installation and drainage work.
What roofing materials do you install?
We install asphalt shingle, metal, and flat/EPDM roofing systems for both residential and commercial properties in Scottsburg and Scott County, along with seamless gutters and leaf guard protection. As a GAF Certified Contractor, we can offer manufacturer-backed warranty options on qualifying shingle installations.
